As summer approaches, you may have decided to create that terrace you have long desired, a perfect space to enjoy with family or friends on warm summer nights.

Achieving that pleasant spot is not very complicated; you just need to give the area a good cleaning, install some soft lighting, set up a table with enough chairs for unexpected guests, and, of course, decorate with artificial outdoor plants. You will transform a simple space into a true oasis!

Reasons to Include Artificial Plants in Your Terrace Decoration

If you aim to create a warm atmosphere in your garden or balcony, do not forget to include plants in your project. Besides the fun of curating your own selection of plants based on the decor style you have chosen for the space, adding plants brings a series of benefits you may not have considered.

Decoration

Who doesn’t love plants? Decorating with plants adds vitality and beauty to a space that no other element can achieve. Regardless of the species you prefer, the green tones and the overall appearance will create a completely pleasant environment.
The greatest advantage of choosing artificial outdoor plants is that they require no special care or attention. No matter which species you select, they can always be used outdoors. Moreover, if they are of high quality, they will last for many years with the same appearance, needing replacement only if you tire of them or decide to change your decor style.

Privacy
In addition to their aesthetic purpose, artificial plants can be truly useful for other needs, such as blocking outside views.

Sometimes, gardens or balconies are enclosed with fences that do not provide much privacy. Therefore, many people opt to build walls or cover gaps with materials like reeds. These ideas, aside from being quite unappealing, can lead to consequences such as reduced airflow, which is highly valued during hot summers. Thus, using artificial plants on your terrace can be an excellent option to cover spaces and create intimacy without obstructing the breeze or ruining the warm outdoor atmosphere.

Shade

Some people love to bask in the sun on the terrace for hours, but it is true that any outdoor space needs some shade, especially with the high temperatures we are experiencing this summer. Once again, opting for artificial trees or plants is a great idea. You can combine real and artificial plants or cover everything with artificial ones to avoid maintenance; either way, creating a lush green ensemble that provides shade in such spaces is absolutely necessary.

Tips for Using Artificial Plants Outdoors

Plan the Project

Before choosing the plants that will fill your space and accompany you for years, it is wise to plan the project in advance. Even if it is a small balcony, planning will help you avoid buying too many or too few plants; you will know exactly how many you need and can create ideal compositions, giving more prominence to some plants while filling gaps with others.

A recommendation to start your planning is to seek inspiration on platforms like Pinterest. You will find countless examples of decor styles and plant compositions, as well as ideas for pots and colors that will help you see what fits best in your space.

Select Sturdy Pots

Pots are also an important item in the decoration process of your terrace. Their colors and shapes will be decisive in the final appearance of the space.

If you are unsure which pots to choose, we recommend considering large and sturdy planters, as they fit best in outdoor areas by covering large spaces without creating a sense of clutter.

Cover Hard-to-Reach Areas

In some gardens or large terraces, there are hard-to-reach areas that would be difficult to maintain with real plants. A trick is to cover these areas with artificial plants, as this will eliminate the need to reach them for care, and since they are somewhat distant, your guests won’t even notice they are not real plants.
