Have a gazebo? Make it cozy with these ideas!
Over the last few years, coziness has been an aesthetic to aspire to in the home. When we spend so much time at home, it’s crucial to make it a comfortable place to be. Even if you are always traveling, home should be your safe landing place. The outdoors matters, too, and outdoor living spaces have excellent health benefits. If you have a gazebo, read on for these cozy gazebo design ideas.
A Screened Gazebo
Mesh screens keep out the bugs, and that is an excellent perk to have in Maryland, where mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and other unfamiliar winged species can swarm around you on a hot summer’s day. Aside from a screened porch, you can also screen your gazebo.
Gazebo with Curtains
Screens provide some privacy, but if you are more interested in having an open gazebo with a privacy addition, consider installing curtains within your gazebo. Pavilions and pergolas also benefit from outdoor curtains, which you can customize through color.
Comfortable Seating
What is a cozy space without comfortable seating? Whether you have built-in benches, freestanding chairs, or an outdoor swing, make it plush with the cushions of your choice. Add pillows and blankets as need be.
An Outdoor Rug
An outdoor rug underfoot adds color and helps tie the space together. Given it is a gazebo, a square, circular, or otherwise round rug would work best.
Soft Lighting
Soft lighting makes any place cozy when evening falls. Hang a chandelier, some fairy lights, a solar-powered table lamp, or a combination. Lighting isn’t just for ambiance; ensure your backyard has good lighting for your safety.
Space Heaters
Keep the space warm on cool evenings and cold days. Add a tabletop fire pit or a floor fire pit that is safe for gazebos. You can also install space heaters along the roof’s perimeter.
Warm Drinks and Food
The picture is complete! Applying all these cozy gazebo design ideas will give you a fully-furnished gazebo. All it needs now is your presence and some warm or refreshing drinks and food!
