Decorating A Rooftop
This roof top terrace might look familiar to you. I styled it a couple of years ago (click here!). Under the harsh sun materials fade and loose their colour and texture - that happened to this terrace too. As it’s a rental guests didn’t really take as good care as it would’ve needed, so the owner decided that it was the time to refresh it.
The roof top terrace got a new layer of paint, rugs made of more durable materials as well as a shelter wall to block the view from the opposite building. As much as possible the existing pieces of furniture were used.
The colour scheme was changed to a more vibrant one - with blue & green accents. Mirai Kodit made the hard work - I just did the decoration and took some pics.
The real center piece is the mural on the back wall made by Sanna-Mari Prittinen. The cactus garden is simply gorgeous!
Tips To Transform A Rooftop Into Relaxing Haven
Add some shade. For sure it’s going to get hot up there. So enjoy the outside and beat the heat by adding awnings, umbrellas or pergolas.
Go green. Plants and flowers that need direct sunlight, love your rooftop. Cactus and succulents are a sure choice.
Get cozy. Cushions, blankets, rugs together with lanterns, candles and lighting chains soften the space.
Get cooking. A grill for cookouts and a dining table for summer gatherings with family and friends make delicious and memorable moments.
Make it fun. Adding eye-catching features such as murals, figures, old cafe signs etc create an unique atmosphere and a place your guests will definitely remember.
