Every outdoor space is unique : from small city balconies to large house terraces, choosing a shading solution and, more generally, outdoor landscaping depends as much on the architecture of the site as on its exposure, its daily use, or the desired atmosphere. This guide helps you find the ideal sun protection to enhance your space and create a true haven of freshness.

The balcony is sometimes the only link to the outdoors. Between facades, direct views from neighbors, and summer days when concrete stores heat, it becomes precious to create a space where you can breathe. A few square meters are enough to set up a table, a few plants… and rediscover the pleasure of having coffee in the morning sun.

Our decor recommendations:

• • Coco curtain to create privacy and shield yourself from onlookers
  • Roller blind if you want to adjust the opening
  • Small shade sail if anchor points allow it
  • Round umbrella to adapt shading according to the time of day and season

In a loft, spaces are often generous and openings broadly proportioned.

Rather than partitioning this space, a large shade sail preserves this sense of freedom while creating a comfortable outdoor zone.

Our decor recommendations:

• Large rectangular shade sail to cover a significant area
• Custom-made shade sail if the terrace has specific dimensions or unique angles
• It can also be multiple shade sails to create different zones depending on the available space

On a rooftop, the challenge is to create shade without losing the feeling of space and the view over the city. The shade sail is particularly well suited to these large open spaces, provided you have sufficiently strong attachment points.

When the rooftop is highly exposed to wind or features a unique layout, choosing the right shape and positioning becomes essential: a custom solution then allows you to make the best use of the available space.

The natural weave lets light play through and brings that authentic touch that transforms an urban terrace into a true living area.

Our decor recommendations:

• Custom shade sail if anchor points exist
• Multiple small shade sails rather than one giant canopy, depending on the layout
• Privacy screen or coco curtain when protection from neighboring buildings’ views is needed
• One or more umbrellas

In Mediterranean homes, the outdoors is a room in its own right. Under a coco fiber shade sail, the terrace transforms into a living space where you take your time: lunching in the shade, lingering over coffee, or enjoying the cool breeze at the end of the day.

A coco fiber shade sail installed on a pergola naturally extends this space while preserving the spirit of surrounding materials. For an open terrace, a shade sail can also create a shaded area without altering the existing architecture.

Our decor recommendations:

• Shade sail for pergola
• Hanging shade sail, triangular or rectangular depending on the terrace
• Coco curtains on the sides of a pergola to modulate sun and privacy

Large bay windows, clean lines, open spaces… In a contemporary house, the outdoors naturally extends the architecture.

A coco fiber shade sail brings a warm texture that softens the sometimes very graphic lines of the house, while creating a true outdoor living room.

The natural weave plays with light and creates soft shade, balancing contemporary design with authenticity.

Our decor recommendations:

• Signature shade sail on a contemporary pergola
• Signature hanging shade sail, square/rectangular depending on the terrace
• Custom shade sail if the outdoor space is atypical or the pergola shape is unique
• Coco rug on the terrace

In a country house, outdoor spaces are often varied: terrace, dining area, garden lounge, pool…

Rather than trying to shade the entire garden, several shading solutions can be combined to create distinct areas. A large shade sail over the family table, complemented by a small sail near an outdoor lounge, allows you to adapt the shade to different moments of the day.

Our decor recommendations:

• Multiple small/medium shaded zones rather than a single massive one
• One or more umbrellas by the pool
• Coco pathway mat for the pool surroundings

By the sea, shading must contend with an essential factor: the wind.

Beyond the surface area to cover, it is therefore essential to consider the exposure of the terrace and the strength of the anchor points.

A shade sail designed to withstand more exposed conditions can then be prioritized, while retaining that natural aesthetic that pairs so well with coastal landscapes.

Our decor recommendations:

• Coco Robusta shade sail, featuring reinforced finishes
• Coco Robusta hanging shade sail
• Windbreak screen if the terrace is highly exposed
