Interior designers' advice
Interior design: our design ideas for a veranda
Verandas are bright spaces that can be designed as true havens of peace. Whether you are looking to transform your veranda into an intimate reading corner, a calming work space, or a welcoming living room to bring together young and old, we offer you practical advice, decorating tips and design suggestions to create a place aesthetic and comforting life.
Opt for light and pastel colors to create a cocooning veranda
The design of a veranda involves choosing colors consistent with the atmosphere you are trying to create. Opting for a soft color palette, such as cream, beige or even pastel tones, can allow you to transform your veranda into a welcoming cocooning space. Bright shades maximize the reflection of natural light, creating an atmosphere that is both light and airy. You can also take advantage of the light offered by your veranda to create an office space conducive to concentration and productivity. Adapt its dimensions to the size of your space: for example, you can choose an occasional piece of furniture or a small dresser rather than selecting a desk that is too imposing.
Delicate whites and subtle shades of powder pink or light blue bring a touch of softness to the whole, which promotes relaxation. Combine these shades with soft textiles, such as cushions, rugs and throws for optimal comfort.
By playing with colors you can increase the feeling of space, and thus make your veranda a privileged place to relax in complete serenity.
Create a living-dining room in your veranda
Take advantage of the square meters of your veranda to create a living-dining room space and thus save space in your home. Select furniture that matches that of your home to create perfect harmony between the rooms or mix different styles if you want to create a unique atmosphere. If you have a small veranda, choose an extendable dining table for your dining area. This way you can unfold it only when you need it. Also be sure to take into account the configuration of the room to select an appropriate table shape: round, square or even rectangular. Opt for white or light furniture with soft, clean lines for an airy style and a feeling of lightness. To choose your sofa, it is also crucial to take into account the dimensions of your veranda and its configuration: large sectional sofa, convertible sofa, space-saving two-seater straight sofa... Let your style express itself through colors and materials that suit you. If you wish, you can also opt for comfortable armchairs and poufs. You will thus gain additional square meters. Decorate the whole with cushions in natural fabrics such as linen or cotton to accentuate the cocooning effect. Wooden coffee tables also warm up the atmosphere and bring softness to your interior. Finally, consider integrating plants to reinforce this impression of a green setting, as if you were immersed in the very heart of nature.
Play with decoration and cozy accessories
Small details sometimes make all the difference, and in a veranda, each decorative element contributes to establishing a specific atmosphere. To create a cozy veranda, opt for cushions with soft textures and delicate patterns, whether knitted, faux fur, or decorated with geometric patterns.
Scented candles and fairy lights also create a soft and romantic atmosphere, transforming your veranda into an enchanting cocoon after dark. Thick, soft rugs provide an additional cocooning dimension, while demarcating distinct areas intended for different activities.
Personalize your space with decorative objects that are dear to you, such as framed photographs, travel souvenirs or even trinkets. These personal touches add a unique dimension to your conservatory, transforming it into an extension of your inner self and your home.
