Summer is approaching and the terraces of the residences become the place where residents enjoy the outdoors and social activities. Therefore, planning your purchases of terrace furniture in advance is essential: this way you will ensure that the spaces are comfortable, safe and adapted to each need.

Before making any purchases, take a few minutes to analyze the space:
How many residents will use the terrace?
What activities will be carried out (breakfasts, workshops, reading, light exercise)?
Which areas need shade or sun protection?
What safety needs to be guaranteed (reduced mobility, elderly people with more frailty)?
Good planning will make the purchases of terrace furniture more successful and adapted to the real needs of the residence.
Choose durable materials such as aluminum, treated wood or resin. Chairs with comfortable arms and seats improve the comfort of residents and facilitate movement.

Creating rest corners is essential. Sofas and armchairs with water-resistant cushions allow residents to enjoy the terrace at any time.

Sun protection is key. With parasols or mobile awnings, residents can enjoy the terrace without risks to the sun and maintaining a pleasant temperature.

The modular furniture adapts to different activities: workshops, breakfasts or moments of relaxation. So the terrace can be easily rearranged according to daily needs.

Elements such as extra cushions, planters with plants, small clotheslines or outdoor stoves can make all the difference and make the space more cozy and complete.

Safety should always be the priority. Choose stable furniture, without sharp corners and easy to clean. It also checks that the materials are non-slip and that they comply with current regulations.
If the terrace is designed for people with reduced mobility, make sure that there is enough space to move wheelchairs or walkers and that the furniture does not hinder the passage.
Planning ahead allows:
Compare prices and quality without haste.
Choose durable and easy-to-maintain options.
Coordinate the installation before the summer.
Remember to review catalogues from specialised manufacturers and ask for furniture that combines safety, durability and comfort. This type of planning is key to making good use of the space and making residents feel comfortable.

Investing in quality furniture brings many advantages:
Comfort and well-being: residents can enjoy moments outdoors.
Socialization: facilitates group activities and meetings between residents.
Aesthetics and functionality: attractive and organized spaces enhance the daily experience.
In addition, with suitable areas and adapted furniture, the terrace becomes a safe and flexible space, capable of satisfying different activities throughout the summer.
