Let’s discuss each of these styles in detail
Simple Gazebo
You can create a simple gazebo by following some of these tips. One of the best simple gazebo design ideas is to use a few bamboo sticks or wooden boards which are needed to erect the basic structure. Once the bamboo posts are there you can then build the roof by using a zig-zag design using wood planks. There you go! A low-budget yet stunning gazebo is ready.
Gazebo with Climbers
You can make your simple gazebo design stand out in the garden by hanging some planters on it. Breathe some life into the wooden structure of your gazebo by allowing creepers to twine around the gazebo posts. You can also hang orchids and seasonal flowers in small wooden boxes from the roof of the gazebo. This will create a perfect haven for nature-lovers.
Moreover, if you have any birthday party or a wedding function planned at home you can simply use the gazebo as a photo booth. Keep some handy props on a side table near the gazebo so that your guests can pose their favourite selfies there and create some lasting memories.
Poolside Cabana
If you can afford the luxury of having a poolside gazebo, then splurge on your poolside cabana and let it stand out as a unique garden feature that you can boast about. The purpose of having a gazebo is to not only provide a relaxing spot, where you can unwind after a hectic day at work but also provide shade and shelter from the sweltering summer heat.
So, if you like to take a dip in the cool waters of your swimming pool to beat the heat, then you should have a poolside gazebo where you can sit and relax after a refreshing swim.
Gazebo with Lights
Create a romantic fairy-tale like spot in your garden – a gazebo with glimmering lights! This can be the perfect spot for you and your loved ones to relax and enjoy the cool summer nights outdoors. Place the string of lights on the roof of the gazebo so that the entire structure illuminates.
If you are creative and leaning towards a more romantic ambiance, then add some more lanterns and led lamps inside the gazebo. This will make your gazebo the focal point in your garden, especially on a starless night! So, who wouldn’t want to have a candle-light dinner in this gazebo?
Thatched gazebo
Go earthy and pastoral with this thatched gazebo design in your garden. Softly adding a rustic touch to your garden decor, a thatched roof on your gazebo gives a cool shade in the hot summer weather and also adds value to your landscape.
The natural thatched roof is not only environment-friendly but also protects from harmful ultraviolet rays and heavy rainfall. Moreover, a thatched gazebo provides better insulation than other kinds of roof for your gazebo, while giving a beach-style ambiance to your garden.
Wooden gazebo
A classic wooden gazebo is a hot-favourite among those who want to keep it simple yet elegant. This is a perfect gazebo design for small gardens. You can use proper doors and screens to give your gazebo a nice look. This will also give you more privacy.
Make it all the cosier by adding a comfortable seating arrangement. No need for an elaborate sofa or chair set. Even a small couch would do. You can also add colourful cushions, vibrant throws and flowing curtains for that perfect ambience.
