Why did you buy a penthouse?

Because maybe there is a terrace on the top floor! ?

In order to catch up with the hot spots, I watched an episode for the first half of my life, and I wanted to complain that the hostess's home was too comfortable, or that the cottage American or modern local tyrants or industries were small and fresh, but they were not as refined and elegant as Ms. Yi Shu. ?

A single apartment with a large terrace facing the sea is an ideal home for girls in Yi Shu. ?

After work, I kicked off my high heels in the door and walked barefoot on the big terrace full of white fragrant flowers. Breeze slowly, I hold a crystal cup and drink whisky at the seaside, so that the true spirit sucked dry by the office building can slowly come back. ?

If there is such a big terrace that can nourish the soul, even if you fight for a mistress in the workplace every day, you can immediately resurrect when you get home. ?

1, the balcony can't be met, don't be forced?

Every family has a balcony, but the balcony is hard to find. ?

The terrace, as its name implies, is open-air and connected with the outdoor. ?

A large area available on an unsealed balcony or roof can be called a terrace.

The terrace has a natural sense of openness that the balcony can't match, and it is more closely connected with nature, which can bring people an outdoor experience without going out. ?

But also because of this feature, the utilization rate of terrace is not as high as balcony. ?

In case of bad weather or hot winter, the terrace can't be used. ?

So many people are entangled, is the balcony sealed or not? There is a terrace at home. Should it be made into a sun room? ?

Of course, this article will not tell you, I will only tell you what the terrace can be used for. ?

How to choose depends on your own habits and preferences. ?

2. If there is a terrace at home, what is it used for? ?

Now every time we mention something, most people's first reaction is: what's the use?

The terrace is not very useful. At most, it works faster in bask in the quilt. ?

But useless is useless, beautiful, it can make you bask in the sun more, breathe fresh air more, take time off work to read, drink tea and relax more. ?

You can plant flowers and grass;

You can also drink and have a small barbecue;

Drink afternoon tea, watch the sunset at dusk, and listen to cicadas singing and counting stars at night. ...

In short, the closed balcony and even the sun room can't give you such a beautiful feeling of being open. ?

3. How to decorate the terrace? ?

▏ wall selection ▕?

There are three options for the wall of the terrace:

Brush paint, there are special exterior wall coatings on the market, which are waterproof and dirt-resistant. Wash it with water when it is dirty. ?

If you don't recognize putty when painting, you can paint a natural rough feeling, which is the effect that many wenqing want.

To put it simply, the special exterior wall brick is more resistant to damage than the interior wall brick, and it is not easy to crack when the temperature changes too much, and it is also resistant to acid and alkali, which is suitable for more complicated and changeable outdoor environment. ?

So pay attention to the fact that the interior wall tiles can't be attached to the terrace! ?

Imitation brick generally refers to cultural brick, which looks very literary. ?

But it belongs to special-shaped pavement, and the paving cost is about three times more expensive than ordinary tiles.

There are also some luxurious people who stick stones on the balcony wall in pursuit of natural effects, but it is not recommended because the cost is very expensive. And the family decoration paste stone, generally using wet paste method, but the stone is relatively heavy, easy to fall off. ?

If you really like the texture of stone, you can brush real stone paint, and the effect is very similar to that of stone on the wall. ?
