Southern Europeans have been showing us how for a long time. A large part of life there takes place outside - including in the restaurant industry. People in more northern countries have also realized that the outdoors is simply wonderful. Whether you're eating, drinking or simply relaxing, you can enjoy the fresh air. On large roof terraces, in the outdoor area behind the restaurant or on the small bench in front of the bistro - a certain casualness and coziness play a role. The typical outdoor features are deliberately enhanced with a homely atmosphere. So if you want to move with the times, you should make the outdoors the new indoors. The guests love it!
The trend is most evident in the city. Roof terraces on high-rise buildings in particular are becoming cozy living rooms. At these roof tops, guests can enjoy the view of the city in a cozy atmosphere. So “outside is the new inside” is more of an urban trend. But it can of course be implemented on any terrace.
It's all in the mix! Different furniture series and looks can be combined with each other as the mood takes you. Lounge furniture, half-height tables, stools, individual tables or groups of tables. And then the decoration takes care of the cozy part. Many different decorative cushions and outdoor rugs create a cozy textile flair. But typical indoor accessories such as a large floor lamp also bring the indoors outside.
Anyone who has an outdoor area can implement the trend in their home. You can mix up your furniture, arrange a few plants in beautiful pots and include homely decorative products. There are lots of options here, especially in the textile sector. “Outside is the new inside” is the perfect trend for day and night. The right lighting creates a beautiful atmosphere when the sun goes down. This trend makes patio areas even more attractive and even more profitable!
