Garden inspiration: 3 fun ideas for decorating your patio with a pergola

Summer is coming! Just a little longer, and we can enjoy the wonderful rays of the sun outside. Would you like to make full use of your garden and terrace this summer and really live outside? Then we recommend you to install a patio roof. A patio roof or pergola allows you to decide on the amount of sun, shade or natural ventilation. Moreover, you can choose from many different types of patio covers: with a fabric roof, with a louvred roof, free-standing or attached to your home. It's up to you.

Check out our 3 great ideas to design your outdoor space with a pergola.

Cozy wine & dine

Reading a book, taking a nap, drinking a glass of wine, playing a board game... An outdoor lounge gives you a lot of pleasure. Especially if you can enjoy all of these activities under the cool shade of your patio cover. In the summer, you can invite guests to a comfortable outdoor area. Did you know that you can add atmospheric LED lighting and patio heaters to your pergola? This way you can enjoy dining outside when the evening falls. A final tip: make your space extra cozy with a few plants, an outdoor fireplace, and soft cushions, et voilà, your terrace is summer-ready.

Minimalistic pool house

A pool house is an ideal solution for spending your summer vacation at home. After all, what gives you a better vacation feeling than lounging by a sun-drenched pool? A pool house is often used as an "extension" of your pool. Think of a comfortable lounging area and delicious cocktails or a refreshing glass of wine after a swim. Pool houses come in all shapes and colors, so with its clean lines and timeless design, the Brustor B200 XL seamlessly complements any outdoor space. Subtle elegance takes center stage: an open, airy setting where you can unwind after a refreshing swim, host a relaxed barbecue, or simply enjoy the perfect amount of shade.

The adjustable louvers create an ideal play of light and shadow throughout the day, while the minimalist color palette allows the pool house to blend naturally into its surroundings. A stylish and functional space that brings outdoor living to its full potential.

The outdoor kitchen

The latest trend in the Outdoor Living world is having an outdoor kitchen. A place where you can cook outside the house, with all the comforts of inside. An outdoor kitchen goes a little further than just installing a barbecue. It is usually fully equipped, including storage space, cooking surface, sink and a dining area. With additional elements such as patio heaters and LED lights, you can enjoy your patio even during the darker and cooler evenings.
