How to take advantage of your terrace using textiles
Carmela Martí Decoración recommends working with outdoor textiles, so they can withstand the climate
Terraces are more fashionable than ever. The hospitality sector is improving a space that has gained even more importance since the pandemic, and therefore, every detail is meticulously cared for. To make the most of this space, textiles offer multiple design possibilities; the investment required is not excessive, and they play a key role in the comfort sought by customers.
In this regard, Carmela Martí Decoración, which has collaborated with many establishments in the textile decoration of terraces, especially recommends working with materials adapted for outdoor use. This means materials that are prepared to withstand temperature changes and weather conditions. Additionally, depending on the chosen fabric, a cooling sensation can be achieved, making the stay in bars and restaurants more pleasant.
Elements such as rugs and cushions must perfectly withstand high temperatures, rain, or humidity to maintain their condition and quality. These types of accessories have also become indispensable on terraces as they invite customers to sit down.
Mats for customers to feel comfortable are also fundamental. In fact, at Carmela Martí, they are custom-made, as seen in the recent collaboration at Masía Bellver, a new restaurant concept located right on the Greenway between Oropesa and Benicàssim.
For those summer nights that get cooler, blankets are the perfect accessory. They are often thought to be used only in autumn and winter, but they can be made with fresh fabrics to make the stay more pleasant. They can also be used as an additional decorative element in harmony with the rest of the textiles.
Regarding color schemes, this season is dominated by green tones, along with more neutral shades like stone or beige. However, it always depends on the establishment’s identity, as more energetic colors like orange, red, or the Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, can be used. Additionally, geometric prints and nature-related motifs (leaves, animals, etc.) are making a comeback, along with natural textures and handcrafted materials.
Similarly, one of this season’s trends is to mix textures and patterns to offer a different and dynamic touch, even among different textiles. For example, combining plain rugs with more vibrant colored cushions.
In short, textiles help make the terraces more enjoyable during their peak season. At Carmela Martí Decoración, each element (cushions, rugs, blanckets, etc.) is adapted to the space, custom-made and personalized, and crafted to maintain its quality despite being outdoors.
