Turning a Terrace into a Living Room: A Space-Adding Solution for Small Homes
Renovating the terrace into a living room has become an increasingly popular creative idea. Besides saving space, this solution can make a home feel more spacious and functional without a major renovation.
If you live in a minimalist house, a type-36 home, or a house with an open layout, this idea is definitely worth considering.
Why Turning a Terrace into a Living Room Works
A house terrace often becomes an “in-between” area—neither fully outdoor nor fully optimized. Fortunately, from a structural perspective, a terrace already shares similarities with a living room, so the conversion isn’t difficult.
- There’s already a roof or semi-enclosed structure, so you don’t need to build from scratch.
- Abundant natural light helps the living room feel fresher and saves electricity.
- Privacy is maintained because you receive guests at the outermost area of the house without disturbing the interior.
- Renovation costs tend to be lower—you can add glass walls, light partitions, and simple furniture to change the room’s function.
Tips for a Comfortable, Functional Terrace-to-Living-Room Renovation
To ensure the results are not only aesthetic but also comfortable for daily use:
- Use glass partitions or minimalist dividers to create clearer boundaries without making the area feel cramped.
- Choose multifunctional furniture such as benches with storage, folding tables, or space-saving wall shelves.
- Paint the walls in light, neutral, or pastel colors to create a brighter, cleaner, and more spacious feel.
- Ensure smooth airflow by adding windows or vents to keep the area cool—especially important in tropical climates.
- Accessorize with rugs, houseplants, and small pendant lights. Decorative elements like these create warmth and a welcoming atmosphere.
