With the arrival of spring, we begin our work in the garden, on balconies and terraces. We clean up leaves, plant flower bulbs, tidy up pots, and wonder how to arrange our relaxation corners. Find out how to easily transform your balcony and terrace decor to enjoy a cozy nook for summer afternoons and evenings.

As soon as the evenings get a bit warmer, we will gladly relax in our home gardens, as well as on balconies and terraces. Lazy moments spent outdoors will allow us to slow down and unwind. So, how can we make this space comfortable and functional? We should take care of a few important matters that will give your balcony and terrace a unique character.

When arranging a relaxation area, it's worth taking care of a large number of plants and ornamental flowers. We can use those that repel mosquitoes (e.g., coleus), smell beautiful (e.g., mignonette and lavender), and also delight the eye with unusual colors (e.g., geraniums). Thanks to them, even on a small balcony, we will feel like we are in a flower meadow or a secret garden. Let's also take care of atmospheric lighting, a warm blanket for cooler evenings, and garden cushions and balcony seating that will ensure our comfort.

Garden furniture, alongside flowers, is the most important furnishing for every garden, balcony, and terrace. To enjoy them for many years, it's worth investing in good quality materials that won't get damaged after just one season of use. Such furniture can be easily and inexpensively transformed when we get tired of its current arrangement. How to do it? There are several ways!

We can renovate them – clean and paint them. Wooden ones will benefit from sanding and impregnation in a color of your choice; for metal models, we can use a special spray. The character of the existing furniture can be changed with a small, light table on which we can place cold drinks, hot coffee, and atmospheric lanterns. In Pepco stores, you will find a wide selection of coffee tables, perfect for arranging small spaces. The magic of accessories that will transform your relaxation corner is also very important. For this purpose, it's worth using airy curtains, garden cushions, and balcony seating.

A simple way to transform your relaxation area and make it cozy and comfortable is to use garden cushions. When choosing them, remember a few important things. Make sure the material they are made of is waterproof. This way, the cushions won't get damp at night, nor will they get soaked if you accidentally spill your favorite drink on them. Also, check if they are soft and comfortable. Too thin fillings inside may not be suitable for long evenings. A solution that will provide us with additional comfort are chair cushions from Pepco, equipped with sewn-in ribbons for attaching to furniture. Thanks to this, they won't shift or fall off, and they will transform the relaxation area without major financial outlay.

Garden furniture cushions will serve as back and lumbar support, allow you to enjoy comfortable seating, and give your balcony a cozy character. They will also work great on chairs, armchairs, and swings. We can place garden furniture cushions on furniture or arrange them on the floor. This solution will work well, for example, when there are small children at home. It will provide them with safety in case of falls, as well as comfort during joyful play. In Pepco stores, you will find garden cushions in many colorful and cheerful designs that will transform your balcony and terrace. They will allow us to spend comfortable time on the balcony and will provide additional seating around the table. Pepco offers plain chair cushions, as well as those with interesting summer patterns (e.g., flamingos, pineapples, tropical leaves).

To make your balcony or terrace even cozier, it's worth equipping it with seating. If you don't want to use garden cushions for this purpose, you can opt for slightly higher furniture. Balcony seating should be soft, comfortable, and original. In Pepco stores, you will find both knitted poufs and stools with wooden legs, which refer to the Scandinavian style. You can choose patterned upholstery (e.g., herringbone or triangles) or soft faux fur.

Poufs, seats, and stools will allow you to create more seating for guests, and will also add charm to your terrace on a summer evening. You will be able to comfortably sit down with a mug of your favorite tea and enjoy a moment of relaxation. Balcony seating from Pepco can be used after the season as an element of living room decor, giving them a second life.

You can easily transform your balcony or terrace with colorful, summer accessories. Let's use garden cushions, seating, and curtains in trendy patterns – flamingos and pineapples, or more subdued ones – herringbone and cubes. Let's also take care of soft and warm blankets to cover ourselves with if the temperature drops. Atmospheric lanterns, candles of various sizes, and light balls from Pepco will help create an unforgettable atmosphere on a summer evening. We can place flowers in aesthetic, colorful pots or woven baskets that perfectly match the balcony seating.
