When we imagine how to furnish a terrace, it is easy to stay on the surface: a couple of chairs, a table, maybe a flower pot. However, with a little care and planning, your terrace can become a refuge, a meeting place, or that intimate corner where time stands still. From Garbar, we invite you to dream of that space and to avoid some common mistakes so that the experience is perfect. The secret? Choosing functional and quality terrace furniture, with design as your ally.
4. Short-lived furniture
Choosing low-quality pieces can end up ruining the whole ensemble. Functional terrace furniture must stand the test of time and the elements. At Garbar, our products are made of polypropylene, a highly resistant material, and we also have a line of recycled polypropylene, for those who are looking for a more sustainable option. As a result, the pieces maintain their colour and structure season after season.
5. Not thinking about versatility
Outdoor spaces are dynamic: they can be intimate or festive, depending on the day. Forgetting this flexibility is a mistake. Opt for furniture that adapts: stackable chairs, folding sun loungers... At Garbar, each piece is designed to accompany you in all those changing moments.
1. Lack of aesthetic cohesion
The most common mistake: putting together pieces that do not dialogue. Each terrace - be it large or small - has its own character, and the furniture should reinforce it. It is not necessary for everything to match, but there must be certain harmony. A perfect example: Garbar's Ona collection, with its two versions of chair with and without armrests, allows you to create balanced compositions. When combined with the Noa table, the result is a visually coherent, contemporary and comfortable space.
2. Prioritise aesthetics over comfort
Design matters, yes, but not at the expense of comfort. A beautiful but uncomfortable terrace will be a wasted space. To really invite you to spend hours outdoors, the furniture must be comfortable and versatile. Sun loungers are a good example: Sand Folding is perfect for smaller terraces or for those who need easy-to-store solutions; while Sand offers that relaxed comfort that is ideal for large terraces or spaces with a swimming pool. All this without sacrificing the timeless elegance that defines Garbar.
3. Not planning for shade
A corner in the sun is wonderful, but you also need shelter. Not thinking about shade is a mistake that pays off in summer. Garbar's collection of parasols, with multiple models - central or side-standing - allows you to create cool and cosy corners. In addition, most of our parasols include a stand or base: so that, once purchased, all you have to worry about is enjoying them.
The beauty of Garbar furniture lies in its ability to adapt to your life. It's about having furniture that provides solutions for better outdoor living. It's about having furniture that lets you eat where you want, throw a party when you feel like it, or sit with your kids and draw in the middle of the countryside. Happiness sometimes fits in the boot. All you have to do is unfold it.
