With the arrival of spring and the first warm days, the desire to experience more outdoor spaces grows. Whether it’s a garden, a terrace or even just a small balcony, it’s the right time to refresh the atmosphere and transform these rooms into pleasant and welcoming places. But how to do it without turning everything upside down? All you need is a few targeted elements, a good dose of attention to detail and the intelligent use of furniture.
One of the first aspects to consider is the arrangement of the furnishings. Even in a small space, changing the position of the seats or orienting a table differently can change the perception of the environment. The idea is to encourage lightness and fluidity, perhaps freeing up central space and creating distinct areas for relaxation, lunch or reading. The modular collections allow great flexibility and are easily adapted to both large gardens and city balconies.
In redesigning an outdoor space, the second step is the choice of materials. Using structures that are lightweight, durable, and visually consistent with the environment helps maintain a fresh and airy aesthetic. Higold Milano’s proposals, for example, make extensive use of painted aluminum, teak wood and breathable technical fabrics. The result is outdoor furniture that not only resists sun and weather well, but also conveys a feeling of order and understated elegance.
Colours play a key role: light, natural or dusty colours (such as sand, dove grey, sage green or terracotta) help to create a relaxing atmosphere. A touch of color can be introduced with cushions, outdoor rugs or decorative vases, preferably coordinated with the rest of the furniture to avoid a messy effect.
Another way to freshen up the space is to work with vegetation. Aromatic plants, vines and small potted trees not only bring shade and scent, but help to create a sense of privacy and continuity with nature. Furniture should enhance this dialogue with greenery: plant-oriented seats, tables near a planter, or a chaise longue placed under a pergola, can make a big difference in the livability of the space.
Finally, we must not forget the lighting. A well-distributed light, perhaps with portable lamps or discreet solar lights, allows you to extend the use of the space even in the evening, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.
Giving a touch of freshness to outdoor spaces does not require major interventions, but consistent choices that pay attention to quality. The right furniture – such as that proposed in various collections by Higold Milano – helps to create functional, elegant and relaxing environments, perfect for fully enjoying the summer, even in the city.
