It’s a funny situation on paper that has all already happened to us, except that, in reality, when a parasol flies away, you never really know where, or on whom, it lands… Fortunately, the pros have found a very decorative solution to replace it in your home.
It’s the great classic for summer afternoons, whether you’re on the beach or at home. I’ll give you the overview again: you are quietly installed on your terrace, a glass of lemonade in hand, when a gust of wind decides to spoil the party. In a second, your beloved parasol transforms into a flying projectile, brushing against the coffee table before ending up at the neighbor’s house. Let’s be honest: between the super heavy concrete base to move, the canvas that passes with the sun’s rays and the squeaking ribs, the traditional parasol is seriously starting to tire us.
This year, our exteriors deserve better than furniture that can blow away in the slightest gust of wind. We want comfort, design, and above all serenity. And decorators and landscapers have understood this well. By observing the most beautiful terraces online, as in magazines, one observation emerges: the parasol has deserted the place.
Instead, a new silhouette, airy and contemporary, has taken over to transform our gardens into real lounges of trendy hotels or restaurants.
But then, what is this well-kept secret that is all the rage from Biarritz to Saint-Tropez? It is quite simply the shade sail. Inspired by the world of boating, it attaches to the walls of the house or to pretty stainless steel masts. With it, forget the bulky base that blocks the passage! Whether triangular or rectangular, it floats above the garden furniture with crazy elegance. Better yet: its very resistant technical fabric lets light pass through while blocking UV rays, and it has absolutely no fear of wind gusts thanks to its perfect tension.
To adopt it in your home, do not hesitate to superimpose two sails of different sizes to create a play of volumes that is pleasant to look at. In terms of colors, terracotta and sand beige are on the rise for a guaranteed bohemian chic effect. So, are you ready to free up your floor and bring a breath of modernity to your terrace? We do!
