What you need to know when arranging the veranda: 4 useful tips

The veranda is a truly summer room where it is pleasantto have dinners and spend warm evenings. We asked interior designers how to decorate this space stylishly and tastefully without losing functionality

Zoning

Before you start arranging your veranda,decide on its functionality. You may want to create several zones - a dining area, a recreation area or a space for working outdoors. Glass partitions, furniture, lighting or finishing materials can act as zoning elements. By the way, you can combine the veranda space with the street using panoramic windows. This will create a feeling of unity with nature, and in good weather will make it possible to completely erase the boundaries of space. Ilya Starostin, head of the companyAstartaDecor: — The most common and durable materials for veranda decoration are aluminum, glass and steel elements. They not only allow you to create spectacular stylistic solutions, but are also highly durable, retain heat, retain noise, protect from drafts and ice. astartadecor.ru

Style

The style of the veranda should match yourspreferences. For example, lovers of national style can decorate the veranda with Russian decor, where the central place will be occupied by a real Russian stove. Romantics will most likely like the lightness of the Provence style. Textured, slightly worn wood will be combined here with textiles of pastel colors, forged furniture, and many flowers. Rough street tiles will look great on the floor. If the windows of your veranda overlook a pond or even the sea, then the style can be chosen accordingly: marine style. Rope ladders, ropes, and stylized decor can be placed here. Stanislav Orekhov, interior designer: - It is interesting to decorate the veranda - this is a matter of design and style. You can make it in a rustic or Japanese style, create the illusion of a tea ceremony area or a small library. But, as practice shows, the main thing in the design is not to experiment, making it stylish and modern. The best thing is to put a barbecue, install built-in furniture. It is very important to create comfortable and original spaces for relaxation on the veranda: place interesting designer sofas, put or hang a chair. The interior should contain natural materials. The floor is a board made of natural wood, no PVC substitutes or artificial materials. d-e-s-i-g-n.ru

Furniture

The key factor in developing a veranda design isthis is whether it is open or closed. The choice of materials and furniture depends on this. For open verandas, choose materials that will not deteriorate under the influence of weather conditions: metal, plastic, wood. If the veranda is closed, then its appearance can be very similar to the interior rooms - upholstered furniture, textiles, decor. Most often, there is not much space on closed verandas, so multifunctional furniture or transformable furniture will be a lifesaver. Victoria Pashinskaya, interior designer: - The more spacious the veranda, the better. Do not clutter it with furniture and bulky items. Precise and functional zones will create the right atmosphere, but excesses in the form of decor and an abundance of small items or cabinets will give a feeling of clutter. art-design-victoria.ru Alexandra Kudryavtseva, interior designer:— The main principle of arranging a veranda is the mobility of the items used. Furniture should be easy to move and combine into different groups, since completely different life scenarios occur on the veranda. Modular rattan sofas are well suited for the recreation area — they are not afraid of weather changes, are easily transformed into different groups, and, if desired, can be moved from the veranda to the garden. It would not be superfluous to provide a place protected from precipitation for storing decorative pillows and blankets, which can be quickly removed in case of bad weather and changed according to the mood. Under the canopy on the veranda, you can place a small chest of drawers, which will serve as an excellent place to store board games, magazines and table setting items. aleks-design.ru

Unusual decor

Add personality and a bit of historyyour terrace, you can dilute the interior with objects that symbolize your interests and hobbies. Natalia Guseva, architect and designer: - I recommend decorating terraces and verandas with all sorts of artifacts and objects that have received a second life on the veranda. For example, you can hang a collection of old keys or wall clocks on the wall. You can also decorate the space with old things united by a common theme: a scythe, a rake, a sickle and a cart wheel. And an old bucket, for example, can be transformed into a lampshade. The theme can be varied and correspond to your hobbies:

• sports - old skates, sticks, goalie mask;
• geography - maps under glass and in frames, globe-lamp;
• fishing - fishing rods and fishing nets.

Experiment! guseva-style.comStanislav Orekhov, interior designer:— When decorating a terrace, details are important. For example, at the entrance you can hang torches or chandeliers with imitation candles and create a romantic mood in the evenings. To harmoniously combine the space of the terrace and the surrounding landscape, you can place plants in large laconic tubs. Grass and stones are also used as decoration. And of course, lighting is very important so that in the evening the terrace is filled with uniform and bright light. d-e-s-i-g-n.ru d-e-s-i-g-n.ru, interiorclip.com, guseva-style.com, art-design-victoria.ru
