I don't want to spend summer in stuffy city streetsboxes, but in the fresh air. One of the places that is perfect for relaxation and which can be equipped in the country is a terrace. We will tell you how to do this in our article Let's talk today about terraces that each of us can equip in our country house or even in an apartment.
No longer a house, not yet a garden. A terrace at its core– is a small extension to a house, an open veranda in the country. Usually it is furnished with furniture for relaxation, a table, chairs, decorated with flowers. The terrace can be open or glazed, with large doors along the entire wall – it all depends on the size, wishes and how it will be used. You can arrange a terrace around the house or even on the roof or balcony.
Terrace flooring The most inexpensive board in ourlatitudes, which is suitable for finishing the floor is larch. And it will last from 10 to 20 years. Iroko, teak, rosewood, afromosia and paduka boards are considered to be excellent and of the highest quality. Such a floor will last from 40 to 80 years, and one board will cost 5-15 thousand rubles.
Of course, you can use not wood at all, but, for example, paving slabs or mosaics. Be that as it may, you need to remember that all this will be subjected to the most severe weather tests.
Lighting on the terrace The terrace, like any otherroom in the house, needs to be illuminated, because you will probably spend warm summer evenings here. The most important thing is that the lighting should be made of insulated and waterproof components. And if we talk about the aesthetic side of the issue, today there is a huge number of different beautiful lamps for the garden and open areas - both stylized as antique (for example, in the form of lanterns with openwork forging), and ultra-modern.
Furniture for the terrace Furniture is an essentialelement of any terrace. The most common, of course, is wicker: it looks beautiful and natural. And this is very welcome on the terrace. Of course, now there is also special furniture for the garden - from plastic to hand-forged.
Terrace fencing You can fence your terracelattices, columns, picturesque climbing plants - and then they will become an additional decoration of a cozy street corner. Or perhaps it will be just a wall of the house and a small canopy without additional complex structures. However, if the territory of your property is vast, the terrace may not be fenced at all.
Terrace decor Of course, the bestflowers will be a decoration: potted, flowerbeds, bushes - anything. And the more of them there are, the nicer, fresher and shadier your terrace will be. If your house is built in a certain style (for example, in the Provence or country style), then the veranda can be decorated in the same spirit. Pay attention to the little things. Perhaps an old cabinet or chair, lightly restored, will sparkle with new colors here.
