How do you furnish your veranda so you can maximise your relaxation? It is advisable to sort some things out first. How big is your budget, what area does your veranda cover and where are the sockets for any peripherals? If you follow the five steps in this blog, you will really end up enjoying it!
1. The right preparation
If you are setting up a veranda so you can relax in it as much as possible, what should you take into account? If you don't want any surprises, first make sure you consider the area under the veranda. A large corner sofa sounds nice, but does such a large piece of furniture fit, or would a smaller sofa look better? If you would like a TV or music system under your veranda for relaxation, see where the necessary connections are located. This, in turn, can determine the rest of your décor. Next, it is also good to think about how much you want to spend for your veranda lounge.
2. Lounge furniture
When it comes to furniture, you can go in any direction in terms of type, material and budget. Do you want a corner sofa or will a double sofa that saves space suffice? Also consider the seat depth carefully here, because you still want to be able to sit relaxed even after an hour. Separate reclining chairs are also an option, as are sun loungers or a hammock. The material type of the furniture is also important, as this also creates a certain atmosphere. If a sleek, modern style is relaxing to you, choose dark aluminium. Or does wood calm you down? Other options include beanbags with possibly a footrest, hanging chairs that you can also rock in, or even a hanging lounger.
3. The right temperature
In the ideal lounge area, you can always relax, whether it is hot or cold outside, raining or when the sun shines brightly. Therefore, if you want to be able to enjoy your relaxation haven often, it pays to invest in your veranda. For example, glass sliding doors are ideal because they allow you to easily influence the temperature. If it is too hot, open them and a cooling breeze can blow in. If it gets too cold, just close them again and the warmth stays inside. The sliding doors also keep your veranda dry and clean, so you won't be distracted by leaves lying around. In addition, sun shading is also a useful investment if, for example, you have your glass veranda facing south. With sun shading, you won't be bothered by bright sunshine.
4. Relaxing equipment
What do you find relaxing while lying or sitting under your veranda? Maybe you like to watch TV or enjoy a cosy background music. Then it makes sense to invest in a music system or television. A small fridge is also handy, as it means you always have something refreshing or tasty at hand. Of course, a nice scented oil can also be relaxing, which you spread through your veranda with an aroma diffuser, scent burner or incense stick.
5. The right decoration
You relax more when your veranda is suitably decorated. The floor is an important element that sets the mood. Consider whether you prefer wooden decking or stone tiles. Prefer to work with the floor that is already there? A rug or carpet works wonders. And then there is wall colour and decoration. A warm wall colour and decorative elements visually transform the space. Lighting also plays an important role in creating the perfect ambiance. Lighting sets the tone for the atmosphere under your patio cover. Think of the warm glow of mood lighting transforming the space. The new Gumax® Lighting System allows you to choose the right atmosphere for every occasion. Surrounded by the right colours and decorative accents, you will relax to the max in your homemade lounge area!
