Whether you’re in the market for a pergola or are gearing up to decorate or freshen up your own, we’ve got you covered in this blog.
We’ve got some great fresh ideas for your outdoor space and tips for breathing new life into your pergola.
We’ll be showing you the different aspects of interior design you should consider when working on your pergola and even giving you some examples of pieces we think would look smashing.
It is true that every space is different. Nevertheless, we can still offer more general advice, which can be applied to every pergola out there.
Now, without further ado, let’s dive right in!
What to consider
Lighting
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of decorating your pergola. Adding enough of the right lighting equipment and illuminating the entire space can make a world of difference in lifting your space and making it beautifully attractive.
Light fixtures don’t just brighten up your pergola. They are essential for evening functions and add to the feel whether that’s a homely one or even a festive one.
With these gorgeous LED Christmas lights, you can achieve both looks. You can hang them around the structure or on the posts to highlight the features and enlighten your guests.
Furniture
Start simple here. Adding some seating, perhaps some patio chairs, will allow everyone to sit comfortably. And of course, you shouldn’t forget a trusty table for any food and drinks you and your guests may be enjoying.
If you’re looking for a lovely place to lounge, then a luxurious L-shaped sofa could be the perfect companion for a comfortable chilled session in your pergola.
You can also accessorise outside your pergola which will spruce up the vibe of your garden even more. How about trying a hanging patio chair? It can provide extra seating capacity for the entire space and can be a fun addition as well.
Theme
It’s all well and good talking about lighting, furniture and other aspects of design. But the very best designs work well together and have a cohesive theme. Having this link between all the design aspects of your pergola will ensure it becomes the focal point when you step outside your home.
If you have a wooden or an aluminium pergola, you can regularly paint them to create fresh new looks and themes each time.
Plants
Plants are a vital way to bring your pergola and your design ideas to life, literally. And when a space is in your garden, plants, really, are essential.
You can use climbing plants to wrap around each corner post. Better yet, add hanging baskets and potted plants which you can hang on the pergola roof.
Plants and flowers can also give more colour to the space so adding colourful ones can bring even more vibrant life to the area.
And with plenty of daylight pouring into your pergola, pick the right ones which are likely to thrive in the conditions.
Accessories
By adding accessories, you’re piping the icing onto your cake, giving you a completely unique pergola which fits perfectly into your garden.
You can start by adding a canopy to give you some shade if needed on a warm day. Or if you like some privacy in your pergola, you can also add curtains around the sides of the area. You can hang them using tension rods. They can even be tied up when not in use!
Enjoy your pergola
By taking some, or even all, of these tips on board and factoring them into your thoughts and plans for your pergola, you’re sure to add that extra spark to your outside area.
Proper lighting, furniture, and all the additions in your space can make a whole world of difference in transforming a space into your dream outside area.
