About the Layout

The space is divided into several zones: for relaxation and conversation, as well as a children's zone with poufs and a chalkboard wall.

About the Stylistic Concept

For ceiling and floor finishing, practical terrace planks were chosen. Wood adds warmth and a special atmosphere needed on a country terrace. One wall is painted in a bright yellow color, and its section is separated for the children's zone. The chalkboard wall can be decorated using special paint or chalkboard film. Graphics in the room are enhanced by dark details — lighting fixtures, glass panels, baseboards, and door hardware.

The decor color palette includes vibrant red and yellow tones. In winter, these colors will refresh and "warm" the space, while in summer they will continue and complement the rich colors of nature in the yard and garden. Window textiles are airy and light to avoid overloading the space and visually connect it with the outdoor area.

About the Layout

The functionality of the veranda is divided into a dining area and a small entry zone with a pouf, floor coat rack where you can hang clothes, and shoe cubbies. The designer specifically chose a large round table, around which the whole family can gather for tea and feel comfortable.

About the Stylistic Concept

The style can be described as fusion, where different furniture items and accessories are combined in one interior: a country version where vintage pieces brought from the countryside can be mixed with sale finds. The chairs in the dining area are in mid-century modern aesthetics: specifically chosen to support the fusion theme, different models were selected. The table, pouf, and rug evoke Neoclassicism. Lighting fixtures and shelves can be classified as Loft.

To decorate, the designer used fresh spring colors. Varied textiles will warm up cool evenings and harmonize perfectly with larch terrace planks. An unusual solution is vinyl wallpaper on a felt base on the ceiling.
