Wondering how? We give you our explanations below! In Italy, as in France, each region has its own image, its own kitchen, its own talk. And this also applies to architecture and decoration of the interior or exterior. To develop its Italian terrace, we must first know what is the region which we want to emulate. Is it North or South of the country? Do you like landscapes of small towns in the central part of Italy or do you prefer those villages at the edge of the sea?

For a terrace decoration near the seaside, choose stone coverings of a lighter color that would contrast with the color of the sky and water. White, typical for decoration inspired by the Greek islands, is not excluded either. After all, much of southern Italy was closely related to the Greek culture for a long period of his past. Furniture for outdoor space like this can be wood or iron but it can also be carved in stone. Plants preferred are those that are resistant to heat and, in particular, succulent.
