More and more people in Belgium are choosing not to use their garden or terrace only in summer. Thanks to durable materials, smart outdoor lighting and comfortable furniture, an outdoor space can become an extension of your living space all year round. Indoor and outdoor flow together. This guide tells you how to make your terrace "all season ready" - stylish, comfortable and suitable for every season.
1. Choose weatherproof, all-season materials
A terrace that is usable 365 days a year starts with the right foundation: quality materials that can withstand rain, wind and frost.
Materials that are ideal for every season:
Aluminium: light, stainless and low-maintenance
Teak / hardwood: natural look, greys beautifully, durable
HPL / ceramic tables: scratch- and heat-resistant
Outdoor proof fabrics: water-repellent, UV-resistant, mould-free
These materials allow your furniture to be outdoors all year round without losing beauty or comfort.
2. Outdoor proof fabrics for maximum comfort
Comfort is essential, even (or especially) outside the summer season.
Nowadays, outdoor fabrics are resistant to rain, sun, stains and mould - perfect for those who want to keep using their lounge set even in winter.
Advantages of outdoor proof fabrics:
dry quickly
do not discolour
resistant to stains and dirt
wonderfully soft and warm to the touch
Use them for:
lounge sets, cushions, loungechairs, footstools, daybeds, etc.
3. Make your terrace cosy with reliable outdoor lighting
Good lighting makes a world of difference - especially in autumn and winter.
Popular all-season lighting options:
LED outdoor lamps
floor-standing luminaires
rechargeable designer lamps
light objects (art & functionality)
indirect lighting under canopy or pergola
Choose lamps with:
✔️ watertightness (IP65 or higher)
✔️ warm light (2700-3000K)
✔️ long-life batteries or fixed connection
4. Outdoor heating: extend your outdoor season effortlessly
Even in cold months, you can enjoy the outdoors, provided you have the right heat sources.
Recommended options:
infrared heaters
electric heaters
gas heaters
tables with built-in heating element
fire bowls for atmosphere & warmth
A well-placed heat source (e.g. under a canopy or in a lounge area) makes sitting outside in autumn and winter comfortable.
5. Stackable chairs & modular furniture: flexible through every season
Flexibility makes your outdoor space future-proof. Transform your outdoor paradise according to each period in the year.
Stackable chairs: are ideal for those who regularly receive guests or want to optimise a compact outdoor space.
Modular lounge sets: lets you easily adapt to season, number of people or occasion.
6. Accessories that make a difference
For a true all-season terrace, these are huge added values:
outdoor rugs
weatherproof plaids
outdoor storage boxes
plant pots with ornamental plants
They provide atmosphere, warmth and protection.
Conclusion: luxury outdoor living all year round
