Covered terrace: the must to enjoy after the summer
Lick on the terrace: we dream of the first rays of sun and we like to extend the holidays. Offering him a roof is like recreating the comfort of his home and savoring the benefits of the outdoors. Here are the essentials to make your covered terrace your favorite room.
Set location
The creation of your new cocoon must be preceded by an inventory of fixtures on:
• the size of your garden;
• his exposure;
• its relief;
• the architecture of your house;
• the function you want to give to your terrace.
Your home itself can provide you with partial coverage. The space under a balcony or overflowing roof may become a sheltered space sufficient or to extend.
Choose the type of cover
To install a summer kitchen with household appliances, or if you simply want to find a level of comfort identical to that of your home, you must opt for a construction that will serve as protection.
Wooden or glass roof, or pergola, professionals have many formulas to offer. You'll even find solutions with motorized blinds or adjustable louvers to enjoy the sun when it's still soft. For a retractable installation, think of the blinds installed directly on the facade. The traditional striped awning has evolved considerably and offers much more contemporary designs.
Shade sails and arbours are preferred if you prefer a removable solution. With the first, you can play with colors and shapes, and their rustling veils in the wind is very exotic. The arbor creates a cozy space and the advantage of being able to settle anywhere in the garden.
Set the scene
To decorate your covered terrace is an opportunity to give free rein to your desires. Think about how you live and what you prefer. Do you especially like to receive? Read a good book comfortably installed? Do you dream of a kitchen with a real work plan? Deco side, what atmosphere do you like? Bohemian and colorful, nature for a chic country style, bistro spirit? You can dare more than indoors, so listen!

Do you dream of big tables? BBQ area, plancha, large convivial table, generous sofas: all this becomes possible. You can even install a brazier or an outdoor heater to stay warm, even when temperatures drop.
To reserve a relaxation area
You want to create a bubble of well-being? Bet on a hanging chair or a hammock for an exotic reading break. Install a hot tub or Nordic bath for relaxation after your outdoor yoga session. Choose planters with plants with dense foliage or grasses. And why not finally give your place to the painting workshop that you miss so much?
Cook with more room
The size of your kitchen does not let your talent flourish? Your covered terrace can become the solution to have a large work plan and have the necessary space for the realization of your gourmet preparations. Aromatic herbs at your fingertips, and your tomatoes in standing planters will create an inspiring setting.
Create the mood with lighting
Just like in our interiors, the atmosphere of a room owes much to its lighting. Garlands that wrap around the pergola, light bands on the edge of the terrace, candlesticks or large torches are all possibilities to create charming atmospheres. The models are not lacking, whether solar or LED, to give depth and depth to your new room.
