Gazebos are lovely focal points for any park, public area, or personal backyard. They reflect the homeowner’s style and create an ideal space for entertaining. If you’re thinking of putting up a gazebo in your yard, here are five suggestions to get your design ideas flowing.

Gazebo Design Ideas

1. Decide on a Style

Gazebos come in a variety of options, so consider what style would match your aesthetic. Some common gazebo styles include traditional, Mediterranean, Asian, tropical, and shabby chic. Make your choice based on your taste preference.

2. Consider Your View

Take advantage of the landscape you have. Gazebos offer an open design, allowing you to take in the view. If you have a creek running across your property, or a gorgeous pond nearby, consider building your gazebo where it’s most scenic. 

3. Add Greenery

Greenery can add character to any structure, especially gazebos. Lining it with a bright assortment of flowers can give a simple gazebo a pop of color. Climbing vines can create a rustic, chic look. 

4. Include Comforts

A gazebo can be an extension of your home. By adding electricity, furniture, and mood lighting, your gazebo can be the ideal entertainment spot. Retractable doors can offer security to keep your belongings safe, protection from bugs, and a sense of privacy.

5. Add a Fire Pit

Having a fire pit creates a center point for everyone to gather around will give your gazebo warmth and a great place to bond with friends and family over s’mores. This can be as elaborate as a built-in brick fireplace, or as simple as a movable metal pit.
