Transform your outdoor space: Summer design ideas

We help you design your outdoor space to enjoy Marbella’s warm weather from the comfort of your home, whether it’s for relaxation or to enjoy good company. We assist you in creating the ideal space to make the most of the fine weather. Summer is the perfect season to embrace outdoor living, and having an creatively designed outdoor space can make all the difference between a basic area and a true oasis. Whether it’s a garden, a terrace, a patio, or a balcony, there are clever ways to transform your outdoor space to fully enjoy the warmth and sunlight. Here are some ideas and tips to achieve that.

IDEAL DESIGNS FOR WARM WEATHER

FUNCTIONAL AND INVITING FURNITURE

Furniture is key to creating a comfortable and functional outdoor space. Opt for weather-resistant pieces that are durable and practical. Sofas, chairs, and loungers with soft cushions invite you to relax while enjoying the weather. Adding a table for outdoor dining or a parasol for shade turns the area into an ideal spot for family gatherings.

AMBIENT LIGHTING FOR MAGICAL EVENINGS

Appropriate outdoor lighting can transform your space at night. String lights, lanterns, and solar lamps add a soft glow that creates a charming ambiance. Candles or torches can also provide a warm and romantic touch.

GREEN AREAS AND NATURAL ELEMENTS

Integrating plants, trees, and flowers is essential to bring your space to life. Create small vertical gardens or use pots of different sizes to add color and texture. Even in small balconies or patios, aromatic plants like lavender and mint can bring fragrance and a sense of tranquility.

POPULAR STYLES OF OUTDOOR DESIGN

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE

Inspired by the coasts of Southern Europe, Mediterranean style incorporates white and blue tones, natural materials like wood and stone, and aromatic plants such as rosemary and laurel. This style provides a relaxed and timeless feel.

BOHEMIAN STYLE

Bohemian or boho-chic style is characterized by its eclectic and colorful approach. Ethnic textiles, colorful cushions, hammocks, and woven rugs are ideal for creating a bohemian outdoor corner.

MODERN-MINIMALIST STYLE

For a simpler approach, modern-minimalist style prioritizes clean lines and neutral colors. Furniture with metal frames, minimalist tables, and careful use of vegetation create a tidy and contemporary atmosphere.

TIPS FOR ADAPTING DESIGN TO YOUR PERSONAL STYLE

EVALUATE YOUR PREFERENCES

Are you looking for a space to relax, entertain friends, exercise, or practice yoga? Defining the main purpose of your outdoor space will help you choose the right design. Make sure that the furniture, colors, and accessories reflect your tastes and lifestyle.

GET INSPIRED

Explore magazines, social media, or even botanical gardens to find ideas that you can apply to your space. Save images of what catches your eye and create an inspiration board that resonates with you.

PERSONALIZE

Add your personal touch with accessories that speak to you. Cushions in your favorite colors, souvenirs from travels, sculptures, or handmade lamps bring authenticity and character to your space.
