It would be great if some of you could share pictures of your terraces. With so many options available, it can be difficult to make a decision.

What materials and colors did you choose, and why? What has your experience been like after 5 years or more? How large is your terrace? What did you pay for it? Have you incorporated any features such as umbrella stands, raised garden beds, or similar elements? Did you do the work yourselves? Do you know any reliable suppliers for materials that you would recommend? What would you do differently next time?

There are surely many other homeowners who would appreciate photos and tips. Thanks in advance!

Let's give it a try. The patio has been finished since October. The umbrella is a pretty good temporary solution until we decide on a permanent one. In total, it’s about 30 square meters (320 square feet), and the wood is oiled Garapa.

Is that the 3x4m (10x13 feet) model from Schneider?

No, that's the Seglarö from Ikea, 330x240cm (130x94 inches). A few weeks ago, it was available for Family members for 150€ including the base/weight boxes, so we ordered it.

Gray tiled floor in front of a glass door with metal frame and door threshold.


We installed 60x60 cm (24x24 inches) porcelain tiles on a drainage concrete base, covering almost 80 m² (860 sq ft)... all cuts were made using a water jet, so with a 1 mm (0.04 inch) grout joint, the cuts are barely visible. Since the terrain is slightly higher on both sides, we built two block steps from the porcelain tiles, which looks really good.

Narrow balcony with gray tiles, side wall, yellow lawnmower in the corner and planter boxes.


Modern terrace with gray tiles, dining table in front of glass sliding door; wooden chair with sunflower cushion.


Two gray concrete blocks forming a bench on a concrete terrace.


Modern terrace with gray tiles, dining table and black chairs in front of glass sliding door; grill on the right.


Close-up of a wooden board: gray top surface, brown edge, finger at the corner.


Gray tiled terrace with garden hose on wall-mounted reel; hose on the floor.


Gray square floor tiles with sharp grout lines; central seam, shoe bottom right.


Gray paved terrace with dining table and chairs in front of the house, garden in the background.

Could you tell us the name and brand of the tiles?

Is it correct that the connection for the Gardena reel runs along your path? Wouldn't it have been better to move the tap along with it?
