Summer. We dream about it all year long. Now that it’s here, having a well-designed terrace can be the key to making the most out of summer. Here are 10 terraces, planned to take advantage of the summery season, and provide a place to spend sun-filled moments in style.

1- Located on a mountainside, the clean, modern style of this terrace lets the view take center stage.

2- By installing large pots with trees or tall shrubs, you can create a private, living forest on your terrace.

3- With its outdoor fireplace and its varied sources of lighting, this terrace invites you to linger outdoors until late in the evening. Its use of texture, with stone, wood, and rattan, gives the terrace a welcoming feel.

4- Even the smallest of spaces can be transformed into a charming terrace. The glass lanterns and the repetition of the lilac color make this terrace a peaceful place to while away the hours.
