Terrace decor ideas: get it right!

Before you think about how to decorate the terrace of your dreams, consider how much space you have. Decorating large and small terraces is not the same thing. 


Decorating small terraces

If your space is on the smaller side, the best option is to choose chairs from the SJÄLLAND series, which stack easily.

If you have a mini balcony, don't worry – there's still terrace furniture that works great. Among the 100+ IKEA dining sets, you're sure to find one that best suits your style and available space. Who wouldn't want to relax on this gorgeous balcony? From the floor, pots and plants, everything is included in our ideas for your small terrace.

Chairs, tables, sets: terrace furniture

Terrace chairs, along with terrace cushions, are another way to decorate these beautiful spaces. And if you place each piece the right way, their combination can be truly surprising.

A rug and one of our parasols perfectly outline the area of a small oasis where you can relax after a hard day's work.

For plant lovers, there are also terrace decorations with you in mind. Cabinets, display cases and even greenhouses will help you grow your love for plants.

Decorating large terraces

When it comes to larger terraces, this is a tall order, and this is where larger terrace furniture comes into play. Play around with an outdoor sofa, armchairs and a small table, a terrace rug, strategically placed terrace lighting to create different ambiances, and infinite combinations of cushions to rest while enjoying a refreshing mojito or water with lemon.

If you're interested and space permits, don't forget a barbecue. Succulent grilled dishes in good company will become your best memories, so here's to summer nights on your terrace!
