The «Giro» outdoor sofa from Kettal is perfect for regular styling updates thanks to its modern, timeless aesthetics.

Summer approaches and with it our balconies, terraces and gardens turn into the most important spaces. Who doesn’t dream of kicking their shoes off and dropping on the terrace sofa with a drink at the end of a long day? Outdoor sofas, lounges and matching tables are the centrepieces on the balcony, terrace or in the garden. Discover how to style your favorite piece with exciting insider tips from our expert decorators. 

Pack as many textiles as you like

The evenings are still fresh, the temperatures hesitant. You still want to spend as much time as possible outside in your living room? Then cashmere blankets, soft cushions and various plaids are suitable both as a decorative element and to provide warmth and cosiness. Soft natural materials such as wool or cashmere not only look elegant and high-quality, but they also guarantee maximum cosiness. Remember to also provide pretty storage for your outdoor textiles so that they are also well protected when it rains. 

Take advantage of the season’s sensational blooms

When everything is in bloom in April and May, it makes sense to plant and decorate the outdoor area with regional greenery. Whether lavender in a pretty flowerpot as food for bees, the first self-picked meadow flowers in a fine vase or a beautiful bouquet of tulips in a glass statement piece - pretty flower creations are great eye-catchers and set beautiful colour accents, too. 

Decorate with your favourite fruits and vegetables

They are currently the favourites of interior professionals: fresh fruits and vegetables are wonderfully suited for decorating terraces, balconies and garden areas. Be it in vases, bowls or as if they had been spontaneously placed there. The secret is not to mix the individual types of fruit and vegetables reminiscent of past decades but to focus on individual groups. And of course, the delicious decorative pieces can then be enjoyed in drinks, on barbecues.
