Having a pergola is one of the most practical ways to take advantage of your porch or garden. These structures allow you to enjoy a reading or dinner with friends when the weather is good, but if you know how to take advantage of it, it will serve you well at any time of the year.
The shade space that your pergola will provide you will be highly valued this summer, which is expected to be hotter than usual. Therefore, whether you have an aluminum or wooden pergola, these are some decorative ideas that will help you make your patio a more practical, comfortable and stylish place.
Installing a swing or rocker in your pergola will make it the most precious seat in your home. Individual, two-seater, triplet... The possibilities are endless! This simple idea will add extra comfort and relaxation to your patio and will make it an even more welcoming space.
Tired of the neighbors watching what you do when you go out into the garden? Outdoor curtains are the ideal resource to guarantee your privacy, especially if you use this space as an extension of your home.
Choose the color and fabric of your curtains based on the covering of your pergola and take advantage of this area whether it is hot or cold. Its installation and maintenance are quite simple. One way to incorporate it into the structure is by means of a deployable velcro strap, or by tightening a cable between the frames and anchoring the fabrics with rings.
The way to give your pergola a fresh and natural touch is by letting the climbing plants spread out over the length and breadth of your pergola. Species such as wisteria, passionflower or kiwi will provide you with generous shade, while concealing possible damage to the structure.
In addition to being a practical and affordable solution against the heat, plant and flora decoration will bring joy and color to the space.
The placement of garlands that work with sunlight will provide the pergola with a sufficient amount of light to be able to enjoy your garden during summer nights. They are a very useful element that will complement the other lighting objects you have outside, without added costs to the electricity bill.
This is a highly customizable element, since you can choose the hue that best suits your pergola: white, warm, colored... The arrangement is also free, as you can choose to place strips that join the frames, cross them, or directly roll them up on the posts.
