It's the perfect time to give them the same attention as the interior of the house, by designing them with care and consistency.

For the transition to take place naturally, the materials used inside can be extended outside, in versions adapted to climatic conditions.
Light or weathered wood : to be used for garden furniture, benches, trays or screens.
Linen, natural cotton, jute : for cushions, tablecloths and outdoor curtains.
Rattan, wicker, rope : ideal for armchairs, baskets or decorative hangings.
Stoneware, matte ceramic or black metal : for light fixtures, vases or small objects.
💡 Tip: Choose water-repellent textiles in the same style as your interior fabrics, to maintain style and practicality on your terrace.

For the link between the interior and the exterior to be fluid, it is necessary take care of the crossing points : bay windows, French windows, verandas… They are the ones that act as a link.
Use the same linen curtains on both sides of the bay window, or at least in coordinated shades.

Place an identical or similar plant on either side of the passageway, to mark plant continuity.
Keep the floor exposed, especially if the covering (wood, light concrete, stone) is similar inside and out.
💡 Tip: Open the windows wide as soon as the weather permits, to erase the visual barrier and let the light circulate freely.
There light plays a key role in the perception of space. To create a coherent atmosphere between interior and exterior, it is necessary to ensure that the light sources are well thought out, day and night.

Warm white LED string lights, to be placed along walls or around a parasol.
Tealight holders, lanterns or candles in natural materials such as frosted glass, ceramic or patinated metal.
