terrace design for an open-air living room
Whether large or small: in principle, any patio can be turned into a relaxing retreat. With a well thought-out patio design, you can extend your living space outside and create an individual outdoor living room. Taking your personal wishes and needs into account, we will transform your patio into a real oasis of well-being.
However, some points must be taken into account when designing a patio. For example, the load capacity of the patio plays an important role. This has an influence on the materials used and the planting. At the same time, precipitation and solar radiation due to the exposed location must be taken into account when planning. Taking all the important criteria into account, your open-air living room is created, inviting you to spend cozy hours away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Planting
With carefully chosen planting, the patio becomes a natural retreat in the open air. Plants create a natural look and also provide pleasant shade in exposed locations. Perfectly placed plants in stylish planters also create versatile accents. However, plants are also perfect as natural privacy screens or for optimal room division. For terraces with a beautiful view, an individual planting concept ensures beautiful visual relationships and incorporates the surroundings.
Privacy screen
Privacy plays an important role in any outdoor area. Space is often limited on patios. There are various space-saving solutions that prevent people from looking onto the patio. Wood is a very popular material that can be used in many different ways. The natural look is very popular and space-saving at the same time. Depending on the planting, tall planters provide a more discreet screen and are also a design element in the outdoor space. If there is enough space, custom-made troughs with lush planting can be placed on the patio as a privacy screen.
Equipment: decoration & furnishing of the terrace
Choosing the right furniture is an important factor in designing a cozy and modern patio. Taking personal needs into account, you can create a functional dining area or a cozy lounge as a place of retreat - or both, depending on the space available. Decorative objects such as planters, figurines and sculptures, cushions, fire bowls or candles add additional accents.
Terrace design with water
Water has an attractive and relaxing effect - even on the patio. The element of water brings the patio to life and becomes an exciting point of attraction. At the same time, the gentle splashing of water blocks out street noise or noise from neighbors. If the load capacity allows, fountains and water features are also suitable for patios. As an alternative to a heavy fountain, an attractive water feature can be used to integrate the element of water into the patio design. Depending on the structure and surface of the patio, the element of water can be incorporated into the design in different ways.
Automatic irrigation on the terrace
An automatic watering system takes care of the optimum water supply for the plants and leaves more time to enjoy the patio as an oasis of relaxation. Modern and well-hidden irrigation solutions take into account the different needs of the plants and do the work fully automatically. Such irrigation systems can be ideally integrated into the patio design.

Lighting on the terrace
A well thought-out lighting concept illuminates dark niches on the patio and highlights attractive features. At the same time, the lighting creates harmonious cosiness in the open-air room, while the lights of the surroundings and neighboring houses automatically fade into the background.
