Pergolas are a big hit with garden lovers and we totally understand why! They offer a stylish shaded area perfect for housing a cosy seating set-up or perhaps even a hot tub! Here are a few winning examples that we’ve spotted on Instagram.
Painting your pergola black immediately brings it into the modern day. Take a look at Esin’s gorgeous pergola, which she has covered with reed screening to make it more private and to feel ultra cosy and inviting. We love the way she has styled it with rattan furniture and oversized plants.
How gorgeous is Frankie’s garden pergola design? She has gone for grey to match her fence and put up a cover over it to prevent the rain from getting through. One great thing about a pergola is that you can hang a hanging chair from it, which is a super fun and comfortable addition to any garden.
Transform your pergola into a serene getaway that mimics the feeling of being on holiday. Eniko’s bohemian-inspired design is covered in fairy lights and lanterns which gives it a whimsical ambience. Covering the floor with outdoor rugs and cushions also makes it feel really informal and a lovely setting area for friends and family to gather.
Turn your pergola area into a dancefloor just like Sally has! Sally’s pergola is attached to the back of her house so feels like an extension of her home. We are huge fans of the huge gold disco balls that she has hung from her Pergola, which instantly brings an element of fun to her outdoor space!
If you’re considering purchasing a hot tub for your garden, make it a statement feature by housing it in a stylish pergola. We are truly jealous of Katie’s hot tub area which is no doubt the perfect chilling out spot for friends and family after a long week at work!
