Prepare your outdoor space for spring with a few simple styling tips for your terrace, garden, or balcony, creating a harmonious balance between indoor and outdoor.
Cane-line’s stylist, Anja Aarestrup Lund, shares 5 essential tips to refresh and decorate your outdoor space with five essential tips, so you can enjoy peaceful mornings with coffee in the sun or host cosy spring evenings with friends.
1. Start with the spring cleaning – The easy way
We often prioritise spring cleaning in the home, but terraces and outdoor furniture also deserve attention before they can once again set the scene for cosy moments. A thorough clean is the perfect starting point. Ater all, the cleaner your furniture, the more inviting your outdoor space will feel. Use lukewarm water and mild soap to remove dirt and algae. Rattan and aluminium furniture can usually be refreshed with a simple wipe-down.
Do you have teak furniture?
Give it a light sanding and apply a protective oil. Find our teak care guide here.
2. Take inspiration from your indoor decor
Transforming your terrace into a cosy outdoor retreat is all about the details. Style with indoor-inspired accessories to add warmth and personality. Anja recommends styling with outdoor rugs, soft decorative cushions, and atmospheric lanterns to enhance comfort and set the mood.
Make sure to choose weather-resistant pieces that can withstand the elements.
3. Use plants to create a lush, green oasis
Plants brings life into your outdoor space, whether it is a terrace or a compact balcony, creating depth and a natural, serene atmosphere. Use planters and pots for herbs, vibrant flowers, and lush greenery. The advantage of planters and pots is that they give you control over plant growth while making it easier to monitor watering needs and rearrange. And even small spaces can be transformed into a charming green oasis.
4. Divide your outdoor space into zones
A large garden or terrace can feel empty and impersonal without thoughtfully designed areas. By creating small different zones, you make it both more functional and inviting.
Consider creating a cosy lounge area with a comfortable outdoor sofa or daybed, perfect for relaxation, and make a small bench surrounded by plants serve as a tranquil spot for reflection. Planters with trellises can also help define different zones, adding both height and structure to your garden.
5. Set the Mood with Outdoor Lighting
Extend your evenings under the open sky with outdoor lamps that creates a warm and inviting ambience while enhancing functionality after dusk. Mix different light sources and place them strategically around your terrace or balcony to add the finishing touch to your outdoor retreat.
