A table and some chairs

Even a small area can fit a table and a chair. You can find inexpensive sets that fold, allowing them to tuck into any corner when not in use. A compact set comes in various colors with wood finishes. A typical price range is roughly 45 to 59 euros.

Even if a folding table does not fit on the terrace, hanging a fold-down table is a viable option. When not in use, it can be fixed to a railing or a wall so that shelves or plans aren’t disturbed.

Decorate the small terrace with adaptable tables and chairs that work in any corner.

Illuminate, key

Strategic lighting always enhances a terrace. For very tight spaces, wall-mounted wreaths offer a space-saving option that can be hung in many places. Simple bulbs with white or colored covers also work well.

Lanterns and candles are both practical and decorative, and modern battery-operated models look strikingly realistic.

A terrace deserves a sturdy floor that suits the space. For very sunny spots, pick outdoor plants that tolerate sun well and survive cold nights if the climate drops. Choose a location that fits the terrace and climate.

Consider shelves like Olivblad, with three levels for pots. If plants have a bit of height, they create a harmonious cluster that fills the space with life.
