Design cozy oases
Whether for a brunch with friends or as a homely place for hours: only cozy seats make your own garden, the terrace or the balcony to the much -used open -air paradise, create a special feeling of living. Often, a few steps, stylish accessories and a few smart ideas are sufficient to implement such 'soul construction projects' to make an outdoor corner also appealing regardless of the respective main furniture and thus create the perfect individual summer feeling. The following tips can be a welcome inspiration.
Privacy screen
Beautiful seats for the soul tree and enjoying should not only fit harmoniously into the ambience of the garden, the terrace or the balcony, but also radiate cosiness and homely atmosphere. If you settle down in your green living room, you want to feel as safe there as well as inside. A suitable privacy screen is therefore indispensable. Who wants to feel like on a presentation plate? So it is best to surround your outdoor living room on at least two sides by a privacy screen. On the one hand, this can be solid metal or wood installations or botanical solutions in the form of half-high flanking plants such as XL decorative grasses up to around 120 centimeters-on the balcony then as a bucket. In this way, the field of vision is not completely limited, but still generated sufficiently privacy. For a largely well-protected seat, there are also rank boxes as well as arches or wooden frames with tense cords for multi-year climbing plants such as clematis, pipe winds, climbing hydrangea or hops. One-year-old climbers such as fire beans, splendor and star winds also reach the desired height in summer.
Shadow
Especially on hot summer days we long for cool shadows. With umbrellas and sail constructions, this flexible sun protection can be realized as quickly as possible. But nothing goes over the pleasant light shadow under vegetation, because here the warm air can circulate much better and is dissipated upwards. In particular, lush deciduous trees in the garden are perfect. But if you do not have this luxury under a rustling leaf roof, you can convert as stable scaffolding for high-breeding beauties such as Alpine-Waldrbe, floral rains, trumpet flowers or climbing roses as a shadow dispenser for your balcony.
Cooling water
The sound of rippling water alone suggests refreshment and cooling. Those who own a garden pond are lucky. There are also more petite solutions that at least have a similarly positive effect on the temperature sensation: mini ponds in halved wooden barrels, for example, can be placed directly on the terrace and equipped with low pond plants such as dwarf sea eroses and lineabons. A good half of this vessel should remain free of vegetation so that sufficiently remains visible from the glittering "sea surface". Sometimes, however, a zinc tub with some aquatic plants is enough, which converted the outdoor seat to a wetland biotope. If the uniform sound of running H2 O is added in a water feature or a mini fountain and high decorative grasses in the background weigh in the background, then the cooling summer idyll, which can also work on a balcony, is perfect.
Taster experience
Enjoy the warm season with all your senses - even with your nose. Here it is primarily herbs that create Mediterranean atmosphere due to their intensive fragrance. For example, a potpourri from pots with basil, oregano, rosemary, mint, thyme or curry herb not only provides ingredients for the kitchen every day, but also generates an intensive fragrant fragrance composition that conjures up a touch of Provence or Tuscany in any home. Incidentally, on the sun walls warmed up by the sun, such seasoning plants - to which lavender also fits well - develop their typical flavors. You can use this thermal effect on small balconies by arranging the vessels with the herbal mix on a ladder, which is converted to the shelf, and then put them vertically on the masonry
Floral change
Easy to be around the open-air living and dining room should also be flowery eye-catchers. Floral beauties in the highest possible and striking buckets can, if you plant them every season with new varieties, can bring colorful variety to the outdoor oasis. So you can set new botanical accents around your favorite seats every year. It works best with one -year fast -growing magnificent bloomers such as sunflowers, asters, mallets or nasturtium.
Accessoires accents
What would be a seating group with a table and stools outdoors without further home accessories? Like the cherries on the cake, they are only rounded off as an atmospheric place - just like within their own four walls. As an alternative option for lying around, there are currently happy farm bags, which are now available as weatherproof variants in many colors. In the category: 'Lazing and relaxing' also includes outdoor hammocks. They are particularly good between shady garden trees, but can also develop their swing potential at special stops or two large wall hooks on terraces or balconies. And for the right grip, you can no longer avoid moisture -resistant outdoor carpets. No wonder, because these foot flatterers make it even more homely outside and they often exude a '1001 night charm'. Its design often reminds of oriental ceramics and fabric patterns. For a cozy cloth feeling, you can hardly do without stylish plaids and pillows, especially on cooler summer evenings. Such textile decorative objects as tight furniture companions can set individual accents and make an outdoor lounge a place with the very personal handwriting of their residents.
Light dramaturgy
Last but not least, the lighting must also be right in the summer favorite place. In addition to fairy lights, the only choice are the classic lanterns that are available for every taste in all sizes, materials and shapes. However, LED solar lights made of glass and outdoor table lights that can be charged with battery are particularly preferred as energy-saving and modern technology. But no matter which models ultimately illuminate the scenery: only after sunset light dramaturgy transforms the outdoor living room into a cozy backdrop, where the surrounding darkness of a mild summer night also becomes part of the homely well-being.
