Back to school often marks the end of summer, but your outdoor spaces can continue to breathe Mediterranean sweetness. By rethinking your terrace, patio or garden , it is possible to extend the season and enjoy warm moments even in autumn. Discover our architectural advice for adapting your exteriors for the start of the school year , in the refined and timeless style of La Maison Ibizienne .
1) Focus on warm materials
Flooring and coverings immediately set the tone. Opt for beige polished concrete, natural stone, or oiled exotic wood that capture the autumn light. Pair them with jute or natural fiber outdoor rugs for comfort and elegance.
2) Choose modular furniture
To extend your evenings on the terrace, choose versatile furniture : rattan benches, removable linen armchairs, and low tables in raw wood. Add cushions in neutral tones (beige, terracotta, ochre) to create a cozy atmosphere suited to autumn.
3) Play with light
The days are getting shorter, but the magic continues with the right lighting. Install fairy lights, antique metal lanterns, and bronze wall sconces . The warm, subdued light prolongs the evenings and creates a unique Mediterranean ambiance.
4) Integrate vegetation and protections
Autumn offers exceptional colors. Opt for hardy Mediterranean plants like olive trees, bay trees, or lavender. For added comfort, add a lightweight pergola or linen curtains to protect you from the wind and adapt the space to the mid-season.
