5 decorative privacy screen ideas for your terrace

What if we pampered our terrace the way we take care of our interior?

To protect yourself from prying eyes, the sun and the wind, choose privacy screens with varying levels of screening, depending on your style and what you want. The key is to preserve your privacy and create a cosy little cocoon so you can enjoy your terrace for as long as possible. A well-decorated outdoor area can become a room in its own right. And for that, we have the solution: we offer a wide range of terrace privacy screens to suit every budget and every style. You will also find our decorating ideas to match your privacy screen and help you create your own atmosphere. Boho chic, colourful garden furniture, or natural jungle-style décor? Your terrace will become a key feature of your house or apartment!

But which privacy screen is right for my terrace? 

You are spoilt for choice! There are countless options in terms of materials, colours, heights and widths. We will break it down for you.

For the undecided: combine practicality and simplicity!

  • Retractable privacy screen: create your space to suit your needs with a retractable privacy screen. Adjust it depending on the position of the sun and the wind so you are always protected. Available in several colours and patterns, this screening solution adapts to any setting.
  • Expandable trellis: perfectly mimicking the foliage you want, the trellis is ideal for covering your terrace walls, fences or pergolas. Expandable, this privacy screen can be more or less screening depending on its position and how it is used. You can extend it or reduce it as you wish. In addition, it offers a long service life thanks to its UV-resistant treatment and requires no special maintenance.
  • Freestanding privacy screen: an uncommon outdoor screening solution, the freestanding privacy screen is very practical for defining areas of your terrace. A private lounge area, a summer kitchen corner, or a sunbathing space? Mix and match your needs with this outdoor folding screen that you can fold and unfold endlessly. What is more, there are hundreds of shapes and colours to match your own style.

Districlos decorating tip: light-coloured privacy screens such as beige, light wood or white are ideal for creating a bohemian or Scandinavian atmosphere. Pair them with accessories made from natural materials such as burlap or pampas grass.

Boho chic: your eco-friendly and decorative choice

  • Wood screening slat: made from pine, the wood slat is the perfect solution for combining a natural look with modern style. Made in Europe, the slats provide insulation from noise, prying eyes, the sun and the wind. Do not worry about installation: the slats simply slide into the welded mesh panel.
  • Reed screening and heather brande: in the privacy-screen category, heather brande is considered the most eco-friendly solution. Less screening than wood privacy screens, brande is perfect for a natural look at a low price. It can be fixed to different supports: walls, mesh fencing, balustrades, etc. Split reed screening, on the other hand, is much lighter, but just as ideal for decorating your terrace in a natural, eco-friendly way.

Districlos decorating tip: create a boho-chic space with these warm materials. You can accessorise your area with cushions and rugs with Berber patterns, wicker coffee tables and armchairs, and hanging lights. A cosy effect guaranteed.

Back to nature: chic jungle effect with no maintenance!

  • Artificial hedge: bring greenery to your terrace by choosing attractive flowering hedges. This solution offers many advantages, as artificial foliage requires no maintenance and is very easy to install. Make the most of this natural privacy screen by covering your walls, terrace roofs or your fence. In addition, this screening solution can also be used as a partition to create a separate area on your terrace. Artificial hedges come in several forms: expandable trellises, artificial foliage and green walls perfectly mimic the desired foliage. Please note: artificial hedges are UV-treated to ensure they last well over time.
  • Hanging planters: we have also thought of fans of real plants. More original than a simple planter placed on the ground, we recommend using your screen panel or fence to hang flower pots. As a screen panel is more attractive than simple mesh fencing, adding small flower planters to it—or even letting a plant climb it—makes the terrace feel natural. Combine your plants with pretty string lights and mirrors.

Districlos decorating tip: to add extra character to your nature-style terrace, choose colourful garden furniture or decorative items: mustard-yellow cushions, teal-blue rugs, a tropical-pattern pouffe, etc. These elements will highlight and contrast with the flowering hedges you have chosen.

Chic and design-led: timeless décor!

  • PVC slat: a premium material for a modern, timeless terrace. If you have rigid mesh fencing, PVC slats offer excellent long-term stability and provide effective screening from prying eyes, as well as from noise and wind. There are also complete kits for rigid mesh fencing with PVC slats. For a modern, chic look on your terrace, anthracite grey PVC slats are ideal.
  • Aluminium fencing = the must-have for an elegant fence. For unmatched quality, aluminium fencing secures your terrace and offers a very attractive finish. Its grey colour is ideal for blending into any environment. Good to know: aluminium is designed to withstand outdoor exposure such as UV rays, moisture and corrosion. Aluminium is suitable for any setting, as it adapts to all types of climate.

Districlos decorating tip: to contrast with the anthracite grey of your screening, we recommend white, black and raw-wood accessories. Choose wrought-iron furniture and large planters with lush green plants. The extra touch: a steel fire pit to bring the whole family together around a fire.

Small budget, big ideas!

  • Fabric privacy screen: for unbeatable value for money. A fabric privacy screen is perfect for covering small areas simply. UV-treated, it requires no maintenance and is very easy to install. We recommend the chocolate colour to give your terrace a warm atmosphere. For a boho-chic style, a pearl-grey fabric privacy screen is a perfect match for this décor. Among our fabric privacy screens, different levels of screening are available.
  • PVC reed screening: need a breath of fresh air? White PVC reed screening pairs very well with a seaside-style décor, with colourful accessories such as sky-blue Berber rugs, vintage-style white wood, and patterned accessories. PVC reed screening can be installed on all surfaces and provides a high level of screening.

Districlos decorating tip: a low price does not mean a lack of style. To create a bohemian space with your pearl-grey fabric privacy screen, consider buying light-wood furniture and easy-to-find decorative items: candles, fairy lights or fringed cushions.
