We all get tired of routine, day to day, work and we want to disconnect a little and relax to regain strength. Even if it is cold, it is necessary to disregard responsibilities a bit and enjoy a little. What better than relaxing on your terrace or garden with a good atmosphere Chill out decorated.
Some will think that decorating your terrace or garden as a chill out can be very expensive, laborious or time-consuming. However, with the ideas that we are going to give you below, you can achieve it in a low-cost and simple way. Do you want to know how to decorate your terrace or garden in the Chill out style?
Chill out style
The first thing we have to bear in mind is that the Chill out style we are looking for must be personal. Each one has its own tastes and should not be guided by decoration standards of other gardens, terraces, balconies, etc. That is, the decoration plays an important role and, you will really be more comfortable when you invite your friends to it if the decoration bears your name and surname.
Chill out furniture
The decoration of the Chill out terrace or garden should not be overloaded, rather it should be minimalist but adequate. Before any other feeling of feeling overloaded, what we are looking for is comfort.
Some pieces of furniture most used in Chill put decorations are wicker sofas, linen-backed loungers, Moroccan tea tables (these add a lot of warmth, joy and freshness to the decoration). To decorate this furniture, we can place glass lanterns, candles, cushions, poufs, garlands of lights, mats, rugs, bouquets of flowers and pots with aromatic plants such as lavender or rosemary.
Faced with the possibility of rain or excessive wind, the ideal is to place umbrellas, awnings or a pergola. With all these things you can create a very cozy atmosphere.
Plants for decoration
Plants and flowers are essential for decorating a Chill out terrace. However, we cannot overload the environment with too many plants. The ideal is to use artificial grass, since on a terrace it is more difficult to maintain natural grass.
There are those who prefer to turn their terrace into a tropical sanctuary by placing bamboo, others give it a warmer touch with some cacti, etc. The ideal is to take advantage of the walls to place the pots and give that natural touch to our terrace. Let's not forget that nature is one of the greatest sources of relaxation and that, having them on our terrace, is sure to comfort and relax us, away from the hustle and bustle, traffic and responsibilities.
They can also be placed vases with flowers, centerpieces, or even artificial plants more colorful that fulfill the function of giving life to the terrace, but do not need any type of care.
Floral compositions
If we want to decorate our terrace with floral compositions, it is important to take into account the orientation of the terrace and the amount and duration of sun to which the flowers will be exposed. As you know, not all plants support the same amount of sun, others cannot give it the sun directly, etc. For this reason, we will carry out different plantations.
The ideal is to play with himThe pink tones to place on the terrace. For this we will use a cheerful and colorful seasonal flower: small dahlias, petunias, dimorphic or daisies, pansy geraniums, blue flower solano, mesen and osteospermum. We will also use some pittosporum tobira nana that we will place in very tall containers.
These floral compositions are going to be placed on an artificial grass, so in this way they will stand out even more. Containers or containers in white and tall size can be used to place the flowers.
When planting it is important that there is good drainage that avoid dampness or puddles. For this we give it this specific substrate: substrate for geraniums or flower plants. This substrate is perfect for those summer blooms, although a fertilizer and irrigation will also be necessary to ensure that the plantation is healthy and attractive.
Chill out accessories
Chill out decoration accessories they can be as diverse as your imagination: ornaments of all kinds, auxiliary furniture, barbecues, plants, flowers, fountains, decorative fireplaces ... It is important to have a good distribution and not to place them all together or without some type of alternation, play of colors, sizes, etc.
Lighting is a key element. In addition to being relaxing, it is necessary to be enlightened if it gets dark on our date. But the light should not be normal, but more welcoming. To do this, we will use a dim light at night, with dimmable spotlights or using candles, lanterns, chandeliers, garlands ... In addition, if we want to have this cozy light during the day, we can dim the sunlight with awnings, curtains, roofs bamboo, etc.
Wall decorations
The important thing to take into account when decorating the walls is the contribution of harmony to the environment, but without overwhelming or subtracting large space. For this reason, different coatings can be used that both serve as insulators against temperatures and decorate them with pictures, ceramics, some flowerpots or vinyls.
As for the color, white is the most basic tone for this type of decoration, since it is a necessary color to enjoy a quite pleasant and fresh environment. But you can also combine the colors of the wall with that of sofas, plants, table, floor, etc. Or make a mixture of softer tones that provide relaxation, avoiding the most aggressive colors.
Intimate ideas
A Chill out terrace should provide some privacy, whether you want to be taking a nap, or want to be sitting down talking to a few friends. If you want to have some privacy, you can put a fabric that will isolate you from the nighttime coolness and also provide a cozy atmosphere. Now you can have a quiet drink with your guests, in an intimate space disconnected from the world.
To give something more intimate atmosphere, it is good to use fabrics of light tones of bohemian style or some with Arab or oriental tendencies. With this decoration it will make the atmosphere more intimate and make your imagination fly.
With these ideas I hope you can have your terrace decorated in a Chill out style and that you can get away from obligations and routine even for several hours.
