Take a look at
any outdoor design website and you’ll notice how many stunning spaces include
pergolas. These features don’t just have to be for glossy photographs- you can
easily incorporate them into your own outdoor space too. Here’s how a pergola
could transform your outdoor space into something special.
A Focal Point for the Eyes
A beautiful
wooden pergola is going to draw the attention of whoever visits your outdoor
space. Pergolas can come in many styles and designs to suit different
aesthetics, but tend to be latticed and are used to either section off parts of
your space, or create walkways and paths in your garden.
For additional
warmth and brightness, add outdoor lighting to your pergola to draw attention
to the space.
It Provides Shelter
Although pergolas
do not provide full shelter from the elements, they are excellent at giving
shade from the sun while not eliminating natural light in a space.
Many people
choose to add additional shelter to their pergola in the form of drapes,
removable screens and climbing plants.
Some people even
place living room furniture under their pergola, which makes it a great
extension of any indoor space you have. Add a fire pit or a barbecue and you
have an area that’s functional all year round.
Room for Plants to Grow
Particularly if
you have a small back yard, it can be hard to create an outdoor space that’s
practical while also being green and leafy. Pergolas are great for climber
plants such as ivy, and as they grow upwards you won’t need to sacrifice
functionality for lawn space.
Pergolas are very
versatile, and can transform any outdoor area. Always hire a trustworthy
contractor to build your pergola, so you’re investing in a quality structure
that will last for years.
