As well as offering a <strong>direct source of natural light and extensive outdoor space<\/strong>, many afford spectacular panoramic views of the city skyline or even a stunning natural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how much space you have to work with \u2013 whether you want to pack in as many elements as you can or simply create your own little magical hideaway \u2013 <strong>there are a thousand and one ways to blend style with function<\/strong> and achieve a harmonious, energising space perfect for those long summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to give your roof terrace that special sparkle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Divide up the space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re lucky enough to have a very spacious roof terrace, make the most of every square metre and sketch out a flowing, cohesive design. <strong>You might opt to split the space in two: one half for dining and one for relaxation. <\/strong>Each \u201croom\u201d can have its own distinct style, but make sure you have an overarching theme to draw them together. Alternatively, <strong>consider adding an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue <\/strong>or even, space permitting, an open-air swimming pool. This kind of terrace can be a great asset to your home, bringing various elements together in one handy space and providing an ideal setting for get-togethers with family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Don\u2019t forget the need for shade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While time outdoors can be a tonic, the sun is not always your friend. Too much exposure can take the shine off what would otherwise be some very pleasant downtime. Make sure you design in some shady spots, at least in certain key areas. There are a number of options: <strong>aluminium pergolas, steel arbours or retractable awnings<\/strong>, for example. <strong>Any source of shade will make for a much more inviting space<\/strong>. You could also think about fixing sunshades to any tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Introduce some permanent furniture&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A generous area dedicated to kicking back and spending time with friends can be a permanent feature of your roof terrace. Make the most of the available space by <strong>choosing a corner for some outdoor seating, perhaps <\/strong>with built-in storage space. That way, you\u2019ll have somewhere to stow away additional chairs and folding tables when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Protect your privacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of having a roof terrace is to enjoy your downtime in style. In cities or other densely populated areas, buildings tend to be very close together, and so your private space may be on view to many inquisitive eyes. If you have something a lot more secluded in mind, <strong>consider adding a wicker screen or creating a wall of hanging plants<\/strong>. These will take care of snoopers while adding an attractive feature to enhance your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/_JR94H4naQI8QyFbVht8ItMMcPMNggddSV7S8JIXwhkhcwxMsL7UHYY8_GIiDoNHvQ6tWZrBqMDi1rOpggKq9gOoOU5RPVeAInb6Cmt_nfjYzHGjwa4MIDysMFCA9S5Y-nbP8oo\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Give some thought to flooring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy to overlook, flooring is an important part of your design scheme. The right flooring can help create an endless variety of looks and can also be used to mark out different areas. <strong>Try combining wooden tiles with artificial grass<\/strong>, which can either be laid down over the existing flooring or installed as a permanent feature. You can then <strong>add weatherproof rugs<\/strong> designed especially for these kinds of outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Embrace the views<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no better backdrop to a super-chic roof terrace than the <strong>city or natural landscape it overlooks<\/strong>. If your terrace rejoices in a jaw-dropping view, make the most of it and open up the field of view as far as possible. Try to <strong>reserve the best angle for the main lounging space<\/strong>, so you can always look forward to a relaxing and restorative experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Don\u2019t hold back with colours and lighting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan your colour scheme carefully \u2013 for both walls and accessories, you\u2019re aiming for a balanced, harmonious palette. Remember, roof terraces come into their own on sun-drenched summer days. <strong>When choosing a colour combination<\/strong>, think about the time of year when you\u2019ll use it the most, and <strong>look for tones that really pop in bright sunlight<\/strong>.<strong> <\/strong>When the warm summer evenings come around, you might find yourself lingering long after sundown, and so the right lighting is essential.<strong> LED lights and a scattering of decorative and functional lamps will give you that magical after-dark vibe<\/strong>, turning your favourite corner of your home into an exclusive night spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Little things can make all the difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When revamping a small roof terrace, your first priority should be optimising space. Every available corner, no matter how insignificant it appears, can play a role in adding a dash of A-list luxury to your home. <strong>The first step is to decide how you want to use the space<\/strong> \u2013 once that\u2019s clear in your mind, it\u2019s time to <strong>shop for accessories<\/strong> that will give it your own exclusive touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To today\u2019s homebuyers, a penthouse apartment instantly conjures up an image of refinement and exclusivity. \u201cLofts\u201d have become a staple of contemporary urban architecture, designed to be snapped up by those seeking an exclusive home that oozes luxury.
