Guinguette terrace, the touch of summer in your exterior

Bet on the guinguette terrace spirit for your exterior. Indeed, this unique style reminds you of the beautiful summer evenings and brings a friendly touch.

The seats for a relaxing exterior

Deckchairs for a relaxing exterior

The guinguette decor relies on modern and relaxing seating. You can opt for deckchairs to bring this touch of relaxation to your home. Bet on wooden deckchairs with clear seats. It is thus possible to add a beige or white canvas to create a luminous atmosphere. It is also possible to choose colorful deckchairs with a few patterns for a fun touch in your exterior.

The colorful armchair

Opt for a beautiful armchair or a colorful bench. Indeed, the touches of color are very present on the guinguette terrace. Choose colorful furniture to bring this sparkling touch to your exterior. You can also bring color through small furniture.

Arrange a few colorful vases or lanterns around it for a fresh pop of color. Conversely, you can choose more neutral and natural decorations to counterbalance with the color.

The colored chairs

For a modern outdoor dining table, opt for a colorful dining table and chairs. Indeed, we often find touches of color on the chairs in the guinguette terrace style.

Choose bright colors like yellow, orange or blue. These associated colors allow you to create contrast on your guinguette terrace.

The touch of light, the guinguette asset

You can bring light into the evening with different light sources. Indeed, there are different outdoor lights to make your terrace guinguette more cozy and bright during your evenings outdoors.

Opt for table lamps that provide a large source of light. A single lamp is enough in this case because it will light up your entire terrace. You can opt for a design lamp that brings originality to the space. What would the guinguette style be without these light garlands? It is important to add some on your fence or hang above your garden furniture or your dining table. Go for models on Homary.com. Once lit, the cozy atmosphere is guaranteed.

Finally, you can add smaller lights such as tealights, candles or even table lanterns. In this case, bet on the accumulation in order to bring enough light to your guinguette terrace.

As for color, bet on a more sober look by choosing shades of black or beige. To bring an additional touch of originality, opt for bright colors on your candles or lanterns.

Plants for a vegetal touch

Tips for integrating plants on your guinguette terrace

  • Bet on large plants to separate the spaces.
  • Add plants to your tables to bring a natural feel to your terrace.
  • Bet on the accumulation, arrange several plants in different places to create a cocooning spirit in your garden.
  • Opt for flowering plants to add a colorful touch to your exterior.
  • Opt for colored cachepots for a 100% guinguette style.

Plants, the natural asset

You can also bet on the pergola for your guinguette terrace. Indeed, it allows you to hang your light garlands on it and to grow a beautiful climbing plant that can create shade. In addition, it will make your space more cozy and pleasant.

You can bring the whole cachet by adding a few large plants and imposing cachepots. You can thus place a beautiful table or your garden furniture in the center to create a unique space.

Reclaimed furniture

The raw wood table

Bet on the recycled table in raw wood for your guinguette terrace. It allows you to add a rustic touch that is often found in guinguettes. You can find this style of furniture second hand for a more authentic feel.

The original recycled sofa

To create a unique sofa or bench, you can bet on pallets. All you have to do is assemble several pallets to create a tailor-made sofa. It is possible to paint them with bright colors to match the guinguette style. Add large neutral throw pillows and several smaller colored throw pillows.

The bench in neutral colors

Choose the more neutral pallet bench seat for a more cozy and soft guinguette style. Add a few brown, white or beige cushions and a nice cozy throw. The set allows you to create a soft and pleasant exterior to receive your guests in the evening.

Add some lights with lanterns and garlands to finish the look.

Rugs and cushions for a cocooning spirit

Choose rugs for a touch of softness

Opt for rugs that allow you to create a visual separation between the different spaces. You can thus have one under your garden furniture. Another under your outdoor dining table and why not a third in your relaxation area. Choose colors if, conversely, your furniture is more neutral. If your furniture is already colored, you can choose a more neutral carpet.

Poufs for a complete garden furniture

Arrange several poufs for your garden furniture. They provide comfort and an additional decorative touch.

Choose a pouf in burlap or natural material to bring a rustic touch to your garden. Conversely, choose a colorful pouf that will add a sparkling touch to your guinguette terrace. You can also have several in a space to create a specific relaxation area.

Cushions, the cocooning asset

Choose the cushions in accumulation to place on your guinguette sofa. Indeed, it allows to bring a touch of comfort to your furniture. Choose neutral colors or conversely bet on brighter colors to bring cheerfulness to your guinguette terrace.
