Who said that the terraces are only for the summer? If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that terraces are a real gem that we can (and should) enjoy throughout the year.
Simply, you have to adapt them slightly to be able to be in them when the sun is not so powerful, and the chill begins to appear. And here are some tips to transform your terrace so that you can also experience it in autumn.
Redistribute the terrace
To start, you have to study the layout of the terrace. Finding the sunniest part, seeing where the least air is going to be key to having a comfortable terrace in winter. From there, redistribute the furniture.

Textiles, essential to give comfort
Textiles have become an essential on the terraces. In summer, with rugs, cushions and curtains. And in winter, textiles such as blankets, plaids and cushions will help us to give warmth and combat the drop in temperatures. Bet on pieces with personality, strong and thick fabrics, so you can keep warm. Wool, cotton or hair are among the essentials. This cotton plaid from La Redoute costs 55.85 euros.

In the heat of a flame
To give aesthetic comfort and create atmosphere, and of course, to give heat, the braziers (they work with wood) and the outdoor stoves (they work with gas) cannot be missing in your terrace or garden. This brazier costs 249 euros in Made.
Candles and lamps? Of course
It is evident that the flame of a candle does not help to give heat, but its effect does help us to create a warmer and more comfortable space. So do not hesitate to fill the terrace or garden with candles, lanterns and decorative lamps.

Screens to protect from air
In case you do not have an enclosure to enjoy the terrace without problems, you can install elements that act as a screen and help you reduce the effects of air and cold. To achieve this and create a more sheltered space, you can put some plants, a lattice, some curtains, or a side awning. The blue side awning costs 63.99 euros at Amazon.

Don’t forget the plants
Just because summer is over doesn’t mean we have to give up plants. On the contrary. It is time to fill our terrace with seasonal plants and flowers. Evergreen shrubs such as camellia, aromatic plants, or flowers such as pansies, or primroses. (1.52 euros) Do not forget that it is time to plant bulbs like tulips (6.62 euros).

Enclosures: the most ideal solution to avoid getting cold
The enclosure has been imposed on many terraces to gain a covered outdoor area. Even so, if you decide to close the terrace, install light and almost transparent enclosures so that you continue to have the feeling of contact with the outside. Also look for models that you can easily open in summer, and that do not permanently separate the exterior from the interior.
