Chill out terraces are in fashion. Mainly in summer, but also when the weather is nice, many venues and hotels offer outdoor areas with an atmosphere designed for relaxation. The decoration of chill out terraces requires, in this sense, a harmonious design, which transmits peace and comfort.
The decorative style possibilities are wide and varied, as it combines numerous fabrics and materials – wood, rattan, stone, hemp, wicker, etc. In general terms, it is a functional and comfortable decoration, with an informal point, although very balanced and aesthetic.
Trends in the decoration of chill out terraces
As we have already mentioned in previous posts, this year is in vogue the creation of minimalist environments. Simplicity linked to ruralism also stands out as a trend in the decoration of chill out terraces, where white -the color par excellence of this style- combined with wooden (or stone) elements and floors are ideal for creating charming environments. Color complements are often used to enhance contrasts.
Chill out furniture for terraces
Generally, the chill out style uses side tables -even flush with the floor- as well as soft and rigid puffs in cylindrical or square shapes. Comfortable armchairs, sofas and hammocks, as well as soft and comfortable cushions and pillows are part of this aesthetic. In Fiaka Ambient we have a wide catalog of furniture for chill out terraces, to which we add the possibility of customizing them to design a custom interior design.
If the terrace is large enough, Balinese beds have become an icon for the chill out aesthetics, both for their beauty and for their comfort and versatility. Also other types of puff beds, as well as loungers and couches give an elegant and glamorous touch to the chill out terraces.
Lighting
As we have already mentioned, the chill out style requires dim and soft lights that invite you to relax creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere. To achieve this, lamps that diffuse the light and allow its intensity to be graduated, ambient LED lights, lanterns, lanterns and candles are usually used.
Textile complements
Fabrics and net curtains of different fabrics, such as linen, silk, cotton, etc. The use of rugs – plain, striped or patterned, depending on the tone chosen – as well as carpets help to convey the relaxing feeling of the chill-out style.
During the summer, awnings and umbrellas to create shadows not only soften the temperature of the terrace but also accentuate the comfortable atmosphere of the terrace.
