Innovative Covered Terrace Ideas for Your Outdoor Space
Looking to transform your outdoor space into a stylish and functional retreat?
Creating a covered terrace is a brilliant way to enhance your outdoor space, providing a perfect blend of comfort and style. Whether you have a spacious rooftop terrace or a small balcony, there are countless ways to transform your terrace space into a stunning retreat.
Alpha Shading has some covered terrace ideas to inspire you, ensuring you make the most of your outdoor spaces with style and practicality!
Shading Options for Your Terrace
Pergolas are outdoor structures with vertical posts supporting an open roof of beams and rafters, often used to create shaded walkways, patios, or garden areas.
Alpha Shading offers the ROMA Louvresystem, a state-of-the-art pergola combining functionality and aesthetics. Featuring adjustable louvres, it lets you control sunlight and ventilation, ensuring year-round use. Its sleek, durable design enhances any outdoor space which homeowners in Singapore typically use the ROMA for the frontage of their homes/space which they would like to host friends or family.
For bigger coverage, consider using our Zerro Uniq Pergosystem. Pergosystem® is perfect for large areas which requires shading. The columns and gutter of the system complete the result, making the system not only beautiful but also functional. Featuring Italy branded fabric, it is able to fully retract to allow sunlight in the space and also fully extend to protect the space from natural elements.
With modular roofing and optional side walls, our pergolas offer a cosy shelter in any weather, transforming outdoor spaces into versatile, comfortable areas. When paired with our innovative Zipsystem, our pergolas also provide privacy and extra protection from the elements and UV rays.
Furnishing Options for Your Terrace
Small Covered Balcony
Furnishing a small covered balcony requires smart, space-saving solutions.
Opt for compact and multi-use outdoor furniture with simple lines to avoid a crowded look, and ensuring enough space. Foldable, stackable, or sectional furniture maximizes the use of small outdoor spaces.
A classic set of tables and chairs can transform the space into a perfect spot for breakfast or work. If you want to decorate this area, utilise the walls, ceilings, or railings for flowers, plants, and lighting systems.
Large Terrace
For a large or rooftop terrace, plan the division of space to include distinct areas for various activities. Here are some common setups you can consider incorporating for your large terrace space:
Outdoor Living Room
Create a cosy outdoor living room with comfortable seating, coffee tables, and outdoor rugs. Consider matching your interior design style for a cohesive look that extends throughout the house. Add weather-resistant cushions and throws for a homely touch.
Outdoor Kitchen
Enhance your terrace with an outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill, sink, and storage cabinets. Include a counter for food preparation and bar stools for a casual dining option.
Outdoor Dining Area
Set up a spacious dining area with a large table and comfortable chairs. With our range or pergolas, you can enjoy a meal either shielded from the sun, or enjoying the view of the sky. This setup is ideal for hosting dinners and gatherings.
Lounge Area
Design a lounge area with chaise lounges or daybeds, perfect for sunbathing or reading. Add umbrellas for extra shade, and include side tables for drinks and snacks.
Terrace Garden
If you have a rooftop terrace, consider creating a rooftop garden with raised beds or vertical planters to maximise precious floor space. The natural light and fresh air will help your plants thrive, turning your terrace into a green oasis.
Lighting Options for Your Terrace
Integrated Lighting
Proper lighting enhances the terrace’s ambience during the evening, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Alpha Shading’s pergolas come with integrated LED lighting to take your outdoor home experience to the next level.
For roof lighting, we offer two types: spotlighting, also known as “eye” lighting, which is placed on the louvres, and 360 LED Lighting, which runs along the interior perimeter of the roof.
These lights can be seamlessly incorporated into the pergola, providing both practical and ambient lighting. Furthermore, our eco-friendly LEDs, available in warm white and cool white, feature low energy consumption and adjustable settings via a dimmer.
This allows you to create the perfect lighting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertainment in your outdoor space while meeting stringent isolation certification standards.
Ambient Lighting
If you want to create a specific effect, supplementary ambient lighting is perfect for that.
For example, LED lights are energy-efficient and versatile, available in many configurations to match your style.
Spotlights can be strategically placed along the terrace to create a cosy environment. Meanwhile, wall lamps, lanterns, floor lamps, and strings of small light bulbs add a romantic and relaxed touch, making your outdoor space perfect for unwinding or entertaining guests.
Personalise Your Terrace
Personal touches can make your terrace truly special. Incorporate design ideas that reflect your personality and style.
Whether it’s a collection of wicker furniture, eclectic potted plants, a stylish outdoor rug, a rustic dining table, or custom-made terrace furniture, these elements can add character to your space.
