As spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to start preparing your veranda for this beautiful season. Let the warmth of the sun, the scent of freshly cut grass and the sight of blooming flowers inspire you to reinvent the space into something more refreshing and welcoming than ever. To help you and so that you can make up your own mind, Véranda du Trégor offers you some precious advice.
Use a natural colour palette
To complement the natural lighting of your veranda, consider following a fresh, springtime colour scheme. Use pastels and bright floral patterns to accentuate the natural vivacity that makes spring so invigorating. A beautiful floral patterned carpet can form the basis of your new and improved verandah. You can also place pastel cushions on your living room furniture to make you and your guests more comfortable.
Choose simple but elegant glazing
You don’t have to cover up the beauty of the nature surrounding your veranda, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave the windows bare. Think about light and elegant window coverings that offer enough privacy without giving the impression that the space is enclosed.
Hang planters and subtly decorate the walls.
If you have wall space to use, take advantage of it by putting up environmentally inspired artwork to add a subtle touch – but don’t overdo it. Also be aware that windows are the gateway to the natural decor of your veranda that needs to be enhanced. To make the outside of the room shine, you can hang a few planters filled with flowers inspired by your colour palette.
Update your furniture
The veranda is the perfect place for you and your guests to relax on a warm spring day. This means that you will need to fill the space with the right furniture to maximize your comfort. A love seat and chaise longue complemented by elegant footstools will allow your guests to sit and get comfortable. Your personal decorator can help you choose the essential furniture, and may even suggest some additional furniture for your well-being. For example, you may have an empty space that could be set aside for dining – your decorator can help you find a matching table and chairs for dinner.
Clean the windows on your veranda
Chances are, if you have a verandah, it has a view you like to look at. And since glass, like any other material in your home, will attract a certain amount of dirt over time, it should be cleaned regularly to keep a clear view. Any glass cleaner will do the trick. Simply spray on and wipe off. For those who prefer an environmentally friendly solution, combine equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray on your glass. For a streak-free shine, try wiping your windows with crumpled newspaper instead of using a paper towel or cloth (black and white parts are most effective). Once you have finished cleaning your glass, you can always put your newspaper in your recycling bin!
