Due to the warm weather, we spend more time outside at the moment. The garden furniture finally finds its way out of the basement, the green areas are planted with colourful flowers, and the parasol is opened to cast shadows. No matter where you spend your free time, you should not miss out on the right decoration ideas for your terrace, garden, or balcony. In the following, we have summarised creative decoration ideas for you to buy, or do yourself!
Macrame plant hanger
Even today, macrame is still in fashion. Whether as a lantern, a cover for flower pots, a tapestry, or as a plant hanger – macrame is not only spotted in our interiors this year but also outdoor. With a few skills, plant hangers can also be easily made by yourself. All you need is yarn in the colour of your choice, knotting instructions from the internet, and some time and instinct. This way, your plants will find a nice place in nature and at the same time enhance your outdoor area. You can find some ideas for designing your macrame here or here.
BOHO cushions for your terrace
BOHO – a trend that has been popular for years. This trend became known mainly through festival looks and wedding dresses in a romantic style, with all kinds of lace and various knotting. Of course, the trend hasn’t stopped in the interior sector either. Textiles were also caught up in the BOHO trend and have been found in shops in a wide variety of earth tones and white tones ever since. With cushions and textiles in BOHO style, you can transform your outdoor area into a cosy retreat where you can relax and unwind.
Woven carpets for that barefoot feeling
Do you also enjoy the soft feeling of a carpet under your feet? Then matching outdoor rugs are perfect for you. The classic woven carpets, such as those found in grandma’s garden several decades ago, are particularly popular. In the meantime, however, the designs have been adapted to the present, but the principle has remained the same to this day. Small carpets, in round or square shapes, decorate the floor and complete the overall picture of a cosy balcony, garden, or terrace. With the right textiles, you can implement this decoration idea perfectly!
Another decoration idea: LED bottle lights
When you let the evening fade away outside on a warm summer day, the right lighting is often missing. Artificial light would destroy the atmosphere and also attract annoying gnats and mosquitoes. Do you still have one or two bottles of wine left over from the last party in the basement? If so, get them right away and rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water and some soap. Then, slide the LED lights over the neck of the bottle and place them either on your table or next to your garden furniture. As soon as it gets dark, you can turn on the lights either manually or conveniently with remote control. That way, a romantic atmosphere is created, where you can enjoy summer evenings comfortably with a delicious drink, and cosy lighting.
Lanterns as a creative decoration idea for cosiness
Even the dreary balcony railings are looking forward to a makeover: Lanterns not only look chic, but they also brighten up the area in the evening. A real win-win situation! This way you can confidently do without artificial light. Lanterns are now even available as a solar variant. During the day, the small balls are charged by sunlight and, when it gets dark, they release this energy again in the form of light, so you don’t even have to worry about the operation anymore.
