Using your outdoor space is a trend that took over the Gen-Z and Millenials over the pandemic where everyone began restoring their backyards and terraces. A gazebo is like a chill outdoor hangout spot you'd find in a garden, park, or backyard. It's got an open design with a solid roof supported by pillars or columns, offering a cool spot to hang out and shield yourself from the elements.

Different Shapes of Gazebos:

Octagonal: This is the most common shape, with eight sides coming together at the top. It's classic and provides plenty of space for hanging out or doing activities.

Rectangular: These gazebos are longer and narrower, giving them a modern look. They're great for lining pathways or adding structure to big outdoor spaces.

Circular: Circular gazebos have a rounded shape, creating a cozy spot for gatherings or just chilling out.

Square: Square gazebos have four equal sides and a roof that meets at the center. They're balanced and symmetrical, fitting well in traditional gardens.

Different Spaces you can place your Gazebos in: 

Garden: Gazebos in gardens are like a central spot to relax, surrounded by plants and flowers.

Backyard: In your backyard, a gazebo can be a cool spot for outdoor dining, hanging with friends, or just taking a breather.

Terrace: On a terrace or rooftop garden, gazebos offer a shaded retreat with awesome views. They blend in with the building's style and add to the vibe.

Park: In public parks, gazebos are a shady spot to chill, maybe near a playground or walking path, perfect for community events and gatherings.

Here are some design ideas for your gazebos: 

Seating

Seating is what will impact the entire vibe of your gazebo, keep it cozy with a lot of seating space so that you can accommodate all your guests. Since this is outdoor seating, pick materials like wicker or faux leather which are comparatively easy to clean and don't catch dust easily. Having a combination of bean bags and floor cushions with proper seating and a couple of swing sets will create a cozy and homely atmosphere in your gazebo. 

LBB tip: Keep air mattresses handy in case you want to have impromptu outside sleepovers.

Add Grills To Some Open Areas

Since gazebos are completely open without any coverings, they are prone to getting birds and other insects in the area which can lead to unhygienic spaces. Moreover since these are open they don't leave a lot of room for decor either, so you can add either a wooden lattice, or a vintage window grill, or even modern style grills which you can decorate as well as count on to keep your gazebos protected. Since this is not an option naturally there with each gazebo, you can choose to DIY it or get it constructed professionally.

Lighting It Up For Lit Vibes

You will see gazebos completely lit up with fairy lights and string lights, but it is important to note that this is not just wasteful of electric energy, but also not quite functional as that will result in a very dimly lit space during evening and night hours. Rather add sconce lights or pendants for your gazebos that will be more illuminating and keep the space bright and warm.

Furniture Game Should Be On Point!

Now when you are furnishing your gazebo, it's not like you need an entire home in there, but keep in mind the function and purpose of the space with respect to what use will it come in most often. Generally gazebos are an outdoor chilling and hangout place for when guests are over, or a private unwinding spot. With that in mind the basics to have are a centre table, which either has extra seating or storage room for all your board games for a fun game night. Apart from that a snack cart would be a great way to store up drinks and snacks for multiple people and bring out as and when needed. More options could be adding a grilling machine or bar counter, but those are at times quite wasteful of space and not very flexible and functional. 

LBB tip: Keep furniture that is flexible so that when you are going away from home you can move it inside to keep those from getting dirty.

Keep It Cool With Fans

A popular misconception is that since gazebos are outside placed within a lot of lush greenery they are generally cool. But in reality gazebos can get extremely hot during summers and attract insects in monsoon, which is why it is a good idea to have fans in place which will keep the place cool and fresh in all weathers. You can either have boho or wicker ceiling fans which match the aesthetic, or wall fans which are great for smaller spaces. You can also opt for portable fans so when you are not using your outdoor area you can just move it inside.

Canopy Curtains For That Privacy

Canopy curtains are a great choice not just for making it aesthetic but also to have that privacy. These also act like great mosquito nets if you get a complete canopy covering the entire gazebo. If not, curtains are aesthetic all tied up to the sides while creating a private space for your outdoor times.

Decorate It To Your Hearts Content

This is where you represent your aesthetic in your gazebo. You can make it more cottagecore with dry vines and flowers, or more modern with track lights and frames. It's good to have either artificial or real vines in your gazebos regardless of your aesthetic to keep the place more natural looking in its element, you can also add in fairy lights here in some spaces for more cozy and warm vibes. Add plants and floor lamps to give it that extra edge with your aesthetic. If you have added grills or lattice you can definitely add some wall decor too, such as art works or picture frames. A great option is to use macrame string decor items which are very boho and chic looking adding more texture and depth in your space.

Pick A Perennial Colour For Your Gazebo

If you haven't already got your gazebo constructed, it is a good idea to pick colours which are neutral, so that whatever weather you're in they still go with the aesthetic. Most popular choices are wood, beige, black and white, but we would advise you to avoid white or lighter shades as they get dirty much more easily than darker choices, instead you can make the decor lighter to keep the area bright.
