Do you miss the romance of slower days, when summer seemed to float in the air? Bring that rural mood into your garden or terrace with a few simple ideas for terrace design in a rustic style: a return to the fragrance of flowers and grass, the sound of birds, and the pleasure of spending unhurried time outdoors.
Cottage-Style Terrace Design
A cottage-style terrace is almost always surrounded by flowering shrubs and aromatic plants. The one thing you should never overlook in terrace design with rustic character is lush greenery. If you do not have a garden at the front door, create a similar scene with containers: a rustic wooden table, flower pots, metal buckets and simple garden accessories such as pruning shears or a painted watering can.
Summer Terrace Design
For a bucolic terrace design choose vintage or shabby-chic garden tables, benches and chairs with a country feel. Arrange furniture among pots of flowers and let the space feel relaxed on sunny days. Add comfort with seat cushions, throws and floral fabrics for a soft summer look.
Terrace Design in Country Style
In planning a country-style terrace, look to nature. Rustic furniture should be simple and functional. Signs of wear and patina give pieces a special charm and are highly desirable. Combine checked outdoor textiles with floral details. Tablecloths, flowers and garden lanterns recall the carefree feeling of country life.
Garden lighting with lanterns
When temperatures rise, we like to spend days and nights on the terrace. The color palette of a country terrace reflects nature, from earthy brown and moss green to sunny yellow, sand and cherry red. The exterior walls of the house can be decorated with clay-colored plaster panels or wood. Natural stone or rustic flooring is an ideal complement underfoot. A rural setting turns time on the terrace into a romantic experience.
