If you want to furnish the terrace but do not intend to deepen your wallet, do not despair: with a pinch of creativity and some small do-it-yourself work, taking advantage of creative recycling, you can give your outdoor space a unique, original, welcoming look. . Here are some ideas to immediately put into practice to furnish the terrace with little expense . Furnishing the terrace with plants
The first solution to furnish the terrace without spending a fortune is represented by plants. The options are different: you can use a wall to create a vertical garden , perhaps using recycled wood to color or old tires, or you can create a small vegetable garden on the balcony by cultivatingaromatic herbs useful for seasoning our dishes.
If space allows, you can place large vases on the ground or etagere in steel to be placed along the perimeter, or half vases with flowers and climbing plants, for an original composition with an artistic flair. Or, again, you can focus on the classic and hook the pots to the ledge of the terrace.
What are the best plants to decorate the terrace Gerano, jasmine and hypomea (provided they receive direct sun), succulents and climbing plants (honeysuckle, ivy), and then lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint, sage, basil . Furnish the terrace with recycled material
If you are gifted with a little creativity, you can try your hand at furnishing the terrace by recovering old objects and giving them a second life. For example, pallets : easy to find and extremely versatile, they can turn into an infinite number of things.
With these pallets you can make a sofa: to begin with you can color them and pass them with an impregnating agent suitable for wood, then arrange them at an angle or linearly to form the base, and finally to make them comfortable complete everything with matching cushions .(you can also make these yourself if you have a good manual or buy them online). The backrest will then be made with the same pallets, hooking it perpendicularly to the structure, and also a side table.
But not only. With pallets you can really create objects of every shape: a “mobile” bar , a wall that accommodates glasses, bottles or small plants, a planter (perfect to hang, if the balcony is small). You can leave them natural, the pallets, or paint in pastel shades, or whiten for a shabby-chic effect: in any case, the result will be super personalized.

You can create a beautiful atmosphere on the terrace through a clever use of lights. The inspirations are many: you can buy light chains to be placed on the ground, inside a lantern, hanging them on a wall or fixing them at the top, perhaps using different colors.
Alternatively, you can use glass jars to place large candles in: if you don’t want to opt for DIY, you can buy solar-powered jars online, which recharge in the sun during the day (some models also have a USB cable for charging) to be used in the evening. And inside you can add everything from shells to colorful flowers.
If, on the other hand, you prefer diffused lighting, Christmas lights are the best choice: very scenographic, just one thread is enough to give the terrace a super romantic atmosphere.
