Zen terrace: tips and advice

View in galleryZen terrace: tips and advice | 1/47

Want to create a space for relaxation in an outside part of your house? We have a suggestion for you: try the zen terrace decoration! Whether part of a garden with a relaxing atmosphere or not, the Zen terrace aims to create a serene atmosphere allowing its owners to spend moments of meditation, reading or just happiness with their loved ones.

Such an atmosphere is achieved through the right combination of natural elements: water, earth, wind, wood and fire, all used together or separately. It is the proper organization of these elements, accompanied by plants and decorative objects, which is the key to a calm and peaceful landscape.

The Zen terrace does not have a default size. It can be arranged in a corner of your garden or be part of a larger terrace. It can also occupy an entire outdoor space. Everything is really possible from this point of view, which means that even the smallest houses could have a zone of this type. What matters is knowing exactly how big is the area you want to transform. Having a good knowledge of its dimensions will allow you to organize all the details of its decoration.

The terrace and the garden are often associated with exteriors influenced by Asian countries. In these decorations, gravel and sand bring the feeling of a good organization of the room, as in the photo above. These elements are not essential for the creation of a Zen style terrace, but you can use them if their look appeals to you.

Wood is an important element for Zen exteriors: it has the ability to instill a feeling of balance, strength and resistance. Of course, this material is present in almost all exteriors thanks to the scenery of nature. But there are cases where we would like to further strengthen our presence: for example, when a terrace is in town or when its owners are particularly stressed and looking for ways to restore their physical and mental balance. For these situations, there are various clever solutions: introduce a wooden garden living room, a slab flooring or a pergola made of this material.

Water is another element that contributes to relaxation and is typical for Zen outdoors. If your home is next to a swimming pool, lake or river, this element of peaceful decoration is already present in the landscape of your terrace. It would be enough to put it in value to profit from it. If this is not the case, but you would like to introduce the water on your terrace, try installing a fountain, a small pond or, if you feel like it, a waterfall or a Jacuzzi.

Regarding the plants, everything depends on your personal choice: you do not have to have many if you do not want to. After all, many minimalist gardens are also laid out in zen style! However, try to have a small piece of greenery in your outdoor area, if only because it is scientifically proven that this color brings a feeling of relaxation. Finally, for the relaxing atmosphere to be complete, do not forget two other elements, the fire and the wind, which you can represent by a chimney, candles and lanterns for the first one and wind chimes for the second one. .
