When I lived in a tiny apartment, I had peace with the fact that the hosting outdoors would go hand in hand with its challenges – especially when it came to eating in the same room, making contacts and relaxing. Just as I would prefer to keep my dining table separated from my sofa on the inside, it simply didn't seem to be possible to keep them apart on my terrace until Anne Hathaway provided the solution.
The actress, together with her husband, the jewelry designer Adam Shulman, and the Jeffrey Erb Landscape Design, intelligently zoned her former Balcony garden use with pergolas. Despite his NYC postcode (which means that there is space for a bonus), the team managed to break up their open plan terrace and create different “zones”-one for eating at a table and one to enjoy conversations about comfortable seats.
For me annes Terrace idea Reminds the feeling of two separate rooms outside: a dining room and a living room, both of which coexist and somehow feel apart on this balcony.

Decorative outdoor screen outdoor
This terrace screen is perfect for zoning rooms on an even smaller scale and stylishly protects you from all elements. The long -lasting panel resisted to distort, rot, twist or share, and is not discolored or scratches (and it is lackable so that you can adapt it for your terrace).
Nami Outdoor Lounge Chair
Create the appearance of Anne's interior-icing door with a curved, modern, black chair that is perfect for all weather conditions. The unique shape brings your outdoor decoration to the next level.
AecoJoy aluminum pergola with a canopy
In contrast to a traditional free -standing pavilion, this shady pergola is slightly on the wall (all accessories), which creates separate restaurants and social zones, just like Anne's. As soon as it is repaired, it can withstand the wind speeds of about 70 miles per hour.
Anne's terrace is the first time that I take place such a zoning in an urban area. As experts explain, however, you can reproduce your method on a terrace or terrace. Start with a shady pergola (as she did) and then choose your furniture from there.
“In recent years, modern Pergola has experienced an increase in popularity that driven by its innovative characteristics, slim designs and the ability to expand its living space to the garden,” commented Reilly Gray, co -founder of Sun's Lifestyle.
“They not only enable them to create zones in the garden that can be used all year round when free time, but they are also a practical alternative to bi-folded blinds if they are installed in their property, which contributes to regulating heat and glare in the summer months without influencing the light in the interior in winter.”
When it comes to finding the right structure for your outdoor area, some important considerations have to be taken into account. Start with the search for the material that can withstand your surroundings and use the desired aesthetics.
“For example, a decorative wooden frame will give a more traditional feeling (and require more maintenance), while one of 100% aluminum will organize a modern finish while it is more robust, low -maintenance, rust -friendly and suitable for use,” says Reilly.
'Aluminum also takes much longer than wood, and the problem with wood pergolas is as soon as the wood gets wet. It can drop juice on the furniture below, which can ruin furniture. The powder -coated aluminum will never fade and look the same forever. The wood will change almost immediately after it has been installed. '
If you want to introduce wood into your room, it can still look beautiful, but you just have to expect it to change. In my case, however, I stick to Anne's example and choose a black aluminum option that withstands the elements and solves my hosting disease.
