White romance and delicate pastels
When you are decorating a terrace or an orangery, you can allow yourself to play a little more with different styles, which are not necessarily the same as in your home. Here we show you how much of a difference it makes when you play with colors and interior. You can of course also use the ideas in your living room.
We can't get around the original, romantic "shabby chic" style, which many still love. It's perfect for an orangery, a summer house or an allotment garden. Here, the light and bright style helps to create a feeling of nostalgia and good, old-fashioned coziness. The floor was allowed to appear worn and white, as it looked when we first decorated the garden house. Here we see the natural wear and tear that occurs when you walk in and out with footwear and move the furniture around year after year. Supplement with a bast rug and a lovely, pink floor mattress to create the style. The large fly net is both decorative and practical, and it's fantastic to take a nap in the soft cushions on a warm summer day.
Overall, lots of textiles in delicate pastels, as well as white, light curtains, are absolutely perfect. The old battle bench appears in its original version and fits in nicely. There should be plenty of zinc pots with romantic plants, such as geraniums, lavender and hydrangeas. Beautiful summer bouquets on the tables, a mix of roses from the garden and ditch flowers, combined with grandma's coffee set with floral motifs, emphasize the romance. Feel free to mix all sorts of different old sets with flowers on them if you want to create this style.
We couldn't resist making an extra little seating area under the vine, which grows well at this time of year. The white iron furniture is the epitome of French country style and has gradually become a classic. The small set could easily be squeezed into the corner by the door. Outside, the impressive clematis is blooming with lots of small, pink flowers. It is gradually growing all over the house, and you have to fight your way past it at the entrance. It looks beautiful and should of course be allowed to stay.
