Planning a Terrace Makeover This Winter: A Step-by-Step Guide

Key takeaways

  • Winter is a good time to plan a terrace makeover, so everything is in place before spring and the long outdoor season.
  • Start with how you use the space, then measure, plan zones and set a budget.
  • Our ranges cover lounging (Annecy, Bruges, Malibu, Miami, Monaco), dining, bar seating, sun loungers, parasols and bioclimatic pergolas.
  • Visit our San Javier or Altea showrooms to try furniture and get layout advice.
  • Shipping is free on orders over €300 to mainland Spain.

Planning your terrace over the winter means you can take your time choosing, try furniture in person, and have everything ready before spring. Work through it in order: how you'll use the space, measurements, zones, shade, budget and finally the furniture itself.

Here's a step-by-step plan. Browse all our ranges on the collections page.

Malibu 3 seat sofa set on a terrace

Step 1: decide how you'll use the terrace

  • Morning coffee or breakfast?
  • Long lunches and dinners with family and friends?
  • Lounging, reading and sunset drinks?
  • Sunbathing by the pool?
  • Hosting guests or a holiday rental?

Step 2: measure and sketch

  1. Measure every wall, edge and railing.
  2. Mark doors (including which way they open), steps, drains and planters.
  3. Note where the sun falls at the times you'll use each area.
  4. Draw in walkways of around 60–90cm.

Step 3: plan your zones

Zone What to consider Our options
Lounge View, evening shade, conversation layout Annecy, Bruges, Malibu, Miami and Monaco sofa sets
Dining Close to the kitchen; 75–90cm behind chairs Monaco, Miami and Bruges dining sets
Bar Views over walls or railings Monaco and Miami 4 and 6 seat bar sets
Sun Sun at the times you swim or relax Bruges, Monaco and Miami sun loungers, Monaco Daybed
Shade Year-round or seasonal Pacific 360° and Hawaiian parasols, bioclimatic pergolas
Bioclimatic pergola in Slate Grey

Step 4: sort out shade

Decide early whether you want a parasol or a bioclimatic pergola, because a pergola shapes the whole layout. Our 3m × 3m (€1,599) and 3m × 4m (€1,999) pergolas have an adjustable aluminium slat roof, and our parasols start at €269. Check with your town hall and community of owners before installing a pergola.

Step 5: set a budget

Terrace Example pieces Total
Balcony Miami Coffee Set + Hawaiian Parasol €1,228
Apartment terrace Malibu 2 Seat Sofa Set + Monaco 1M Round Dining Set €1,838
Family terrace Bruges Corner Sofa Set + Bruges 6 Seat Dining Set + Pacific 360° Parasol €3,917
Villa with pool Monaco Corner Sofa Set + Monaco Extending Dining Set + Monaco Daybed + Bioclimatic Pergola 3m × 4m €7,916

Totals use current website prices and are for guidance.

Step 6: choose a style and colour

  • Light and Mediterranean: Bruges in Ivory, Monaco in Pearl, Miami in White.
  • Modern and darker: Annecy in Titanium Grey, Monaco in Slate Grey, Miami in Charcoal.
  • Warmth: teak arms on Bruges and Annecy.

Step 7: see it in person

Bring your sketch and measurements to a showroom. Sitting on sofas, trying recliners and seeing colours in daylight makes the final choice much easier.
