If you have a compact terrace, you’re fortunate because you can accomplish a lot with a little. Reimagine the space, give it a chance, and you’ll find you can achieve more than you expected.
How to decorate a long and narrow corridor: the keys to success
A table and some chairs
Even with limited space, a table and a chair set can fit nicely. A very affordable option is found at stores like Ikea, and many sets are foldable so they tuck away in a corner when not in use. Tarno sets come in various colors with wood accents, typically priced between 45 and 59 euros. If this particular arrangement doesn’t suit your terrace, consider a wall-mounted or railing-hung table. A foldable table can be fixed to a railing or wall so shelves won’t intrude on the space when it isn’t needed.
Decorating ideas include hanging a compact folding table or keeping one handy for quick meals al fresco.
Illumination, a key element
Strategic lighting always enhances a terrace. For tiny spaces, wall-mounted wreaths are a clever option since they can be hung on walls or any available surface. At Ikea, simple bulbs with white or colored caps can add warmth. Lanterns and candles remain practical decorative elements, and modern battery-powered models look incredibly realistic.
The five most durable plants to enliven a balcony or terrace
Any terrace deserves some greenery. Choose outdoor plants that tolerate sun, and, if nights drop in temperature, select varieties that withstand cooler conditions typical for your locale. Look for compact original shelving like Olivblad (17 euros), which offers three heights for pots. If you pick cascading plants, you’ll achieve a harmonious cluster that breathes life into the space.

Radical change, upgrade your flooring
To complete the overall look, consider updating the floor. The goal isn’t always replacement; sometimes simply laying a decorative layer over the existing floor can transform the vibe. Ikea offers several models with tasteful geometric wood patterns, faux grass effects, and even white finishes. These touches can give the terrace a distinctive, polished look.
