A roof terrace isn’t just an outdoor space, it's an extension of your home, a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy fresh air. At AZ Interiors Studio, we treat roof terraces with the same attention to detail as any interior room. Choosing the right furniture, creating the perfect ambience, and planning lighting are just as important as they would be inside your home.

But designing a roof terrace comes with its own unique challenges, especially if you want it to be low-maintenance and easy to look after. This is something we’ve perfected in Eddington, Cambridge, where many of our projects benefit from thoughtful outdoor design.

Choosing Plants That Thrive

Plants are the heart of any terrace, but not all greenery will survive on a roof. We carefully select plants that can withstand winds, fluctuating temperatures, and varying light conditions, ensuring they thrive year-round. Large pots are essential - they allow plants to establish strong roots, survive hot summers, and endure cold, drafty winters.

Logistics: Moving It All Upstairs

One detail that many homeowners don’t consider is how everything will actually get to the roof terrace. From tons of soil to large pots and planters, every item must be carried through the house to reach the terrace. While this may sound daunting, it’s not something you need to worry about. We coordinate the logistics, ensuring every piece arrives safely and efficiently.

Furniture and Ambience

Just like inside, your terrace needs the right furniture, lighting, and decor. Outdoor sofas, dining sets, and lounge chairs must be comfortable, stylish, and weather-resistant. Lighting transforms the terrace after dark, creating a warm, inviting ambience for evening gatherings. Every detail is chosen with both aesthetics and practicality in mind.

Why Our Design Service Matters

Roof terraces are deceptively complex: without careful planning, a space can quickly become high-maintenance, underutilised, or unattractive. By combining plant selection, furniture choice, lighting design, and logistics, we create terraces that are not only beautiful and functional but also easy to care for. This allows homeowners to fully enjoy their outdoor retreat without stress.
