Hand-painted ceramic murals represent a centuries-old decorating technique, far from going out of style, it has become a hallmark of our Mediterranean culture. Medallions, landscapes, "celebrities", emblems .... The options are as endless as our imagination and this month we want to propose some ideas that may be useful for your terrace and garden projects.

AESTHETIC CONTINUITY
In the image we can see a splendid idea. The tile panel represents a wrought iron gate, that aesthetically goes very well with the wrought iron furniture and the railing of the same material that we have on the terrace. Take an element of your project and give it continuity with the design of the wall panel.

INTERIOR NATURE
We see another good suggestion in this project. This inner courtyard has been decorated with a panel of birds, which transports us abroad. It is a way to play with the subconscious, the use of greenery and animal-inspired decorative elements makes you feel like you are outdoors even though you are actually in an indoor patio.

FACADES FULL OF ART
The tile panel does not have to be only a small portrait framed on the wall of a terrace or patio, , it can take an extreme role, as seen on the photo. In the Iberian Peninsula it is very common to see churches and institutional buildings that have been decorated with hand-painted tiles.. In Guadarte we can decorate the facade of your hotel, restaurant, rural house ... taking that idea and adapting our or your own designs to your space.

CHARMING CORNERS
Another option is to create a charming corner with a tile panel that is not excessively large., but that is significant. In order to do so, it could be interesting to think about the name of the street, the history of the place, the iconicity of the project… Surely all these elements help us to choose the best design for our panel.

TILE PANELS WITH A FOUNTAIN
If you want take really take advantage of every inch of your panel, We propose you this idea in which the panel is converted into a colossal fountain that transforms that area of ​​the garden into a memorable corner.

MULTICOLOURED PANELS
Panel can be a mix of shades of blue, green, ocher ... but what if we mix all the colours in the palette and instead of a two-colour panel we develop a multicoloured one? The result is a design full of life that will not leave anyone indifferent..

We hope you liked our ideas and comments and that they are helpful for your next projects., and remember that Guardarte can make any tile panel in any size and in any colour.

This month we want to share with you some terraces of projects we have collaborated with lately. It is a good season to take inspiration and unleash our creativity in residential or commercial projects.. We hope you like it!

THE BEST TERRACE IN ROME
The terrace of the Hotel 9 Cesari in Rome, has a perfect location with privileged views. The wrought iron stools, the sofas and armchairs of our Outdoor Collection fit perfectly with the style and history of this emblematic place.

CONTEMPORARY GEOMETRY
Traditional forging takes on a whole new air when painted in contemporary shades. An excellent option is matte black. If you want to renew your terrace and give it a contemporary air, without a doubt this tone is the best choice.

PLANTS FULL OF LIFE
Plants bring life to any environment in which they are found. The terraces are ideal places for this purpose. Think about the combination or contrast between the color of the pot with that of the plant itself and be intentional when making these decisions.

MOSAIC & FABRIC
Wrought iron sofas, are traditionally upholstered in plain or striped canvas. But if you want them to stand out, it's a good idea to look for an outdoor fabric that has a contemporary design. Also if you manage to create a contrast, (for example with the green glazed pots in the image) you will get a greater visual impact.

GEOMETRIC POTS
Our collection of geometric planters is having great success in outdoor projects. The wide variety of sizes, designs and colours allow designers to unleash their creativity and make projects with a unique signature. Discover all the options in the "Ceramics" section of our website.

SMALL TERRACES WITH GREAT VIEWS
Sometimes the smallest terraces have the greatest views. We recommend you take advantage of those places and locate the furniture so that when sitting, we can enjoy the best views naturally.

MEDITERRANEAN SYMMETRY
You have two options, make a collage with different sizes and colors or use the same model continuously. For the first option you have to have a certain artistic sensibility, So if you don't want to make a mistake, we recommend that you use a model that you love with the same plant and repeat it symmetrically..

ANDALUSIAN STYLE NIGHT
From the terrace of the Hotel Vincci La Rábida, you can enjoy the view of the Sevillian night. Both the iron of the furniture and that of the railings and windows have been finished in the same tone to create a visual continuity of the architecture with the decoration.

MAGISTRAL LIGHTING
The exteriors of the Hotel Le Mirage, are magical when the night falls. The ceramic lamps glazed in white provide a soft light that creates a unique atmosphere, that catches the visitor's attention.

CHARMING TERRACE
In this case, our indoor products move outside. If you have a windowed terrace or well protected by a porch, it is a great idea to use wooden furniture in a “French countryside” style. You will create a very refined and cozy atmosphere.

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE
Obviously, we love the mediterranean style! That mix of native vegetation, with natural wood and whitewashed walls is simply wonderful. Our entire collection of wall lamps, can be painted in the same tone so that the lighting looks like an extension of the architecture.

CONTEMPORARY CONTRAST
Wrought iron roducts can adopt different finishes that completely transform the ambiences. For example, Here the contrast between the strawberry colour of the upholstery and the contemporary black of the furniture, creates a very modern and cosmopolitan terrace. If you used the same product with an off-white finish and striped fabric, you would have a totally different atmosphere. What else can you imagine?

ANDALUSIAN PATIO
In this project, the traditional Andalusian Patio has been taken as inspiration. It is a common space in the center of the building, that brings light and vitality to the project. The wrought iron furniture intertwines with the Arabic-inspired architecture and the vegetation in a very natural way..

TERRACE AT THE POOL
There is nothing more pleasant in summer than eating near the coolness of the water. It is a good idea to set up a dining area near the pool. If you have a porch, don't even think about it. And if you like the chairs on the image, we have them available in a lot of colours.

PORCHES ON A LARGE SCALE
There are terraces and porches whose proportions are delightful. In this case, the possibility of combining wrought iron furniture with ceiling lanterns and incredible views, makes everything very simple. If you have a project like this the rule is easy: Large proportions, great products.

We hope these ideas and suggestions give you enough perspective and inspiration for your next terrace projects., courtyards and gardens. See you!
