A holiday home for many is not only a place for agricultural experiments but also almost the only corner in the world where you can take a break from all your affairs, fenced off from the outside world.
That is why every gardener who settles down on the site must plan a place for relaxation alone or with friends. Where is the best place to choose a place for this venture? What materials can be used?
Arrangement Options
There are several options for arranging your future recreation area:
An open area for outdoor enthusiasts – not all people see relaxation in idle lying on a deck chair or in a hammock. For many, life is movement. It is these people who need more space for active activities and games. Therefore, an open area with sufficient space is the best solution.
A closed area is already just for those who like solitude in the company of themselves or friends.
Curtains, green climbing plants or bamboo screens serve as walls in such places.
For those seeking solitude amid the company of themselves or friends, closed areas offer a retreat adorned with curtains, greenery, or bamboo screens. Here, the outdoors is gently invited in, creating a space that is simultaneously sheltered and connected to nature. In the realm of luxurious home decors, these elements take center stage, carefully selected to harmonize with the surroundings and elevate the overall aesthetic. The subtle interplay between the organic and the curated transforms these closed spaces into sanctuaries of comfort and style, where every detail contributes to the allure of a refined living experience.
Portable lightweight platform – for those who like to craft and come up with unusual solutions, there is a lot of work in the field of transforming gazebos or something like that. In any case, a place to relax, which can easily be turned from closed to open or even transferred from one place to another, will be a good solution for those who like to periodically change the situation.
Patio – this place to relax resembles a closed area, only the walls here are the walls of the house and outbuildings or adjoining buildings, between which it is located. It turns out an open-air room where you can arrange family holidays, gatherings with friends or just sunbathe under the sun, or maybe relax in the shade on 2 seater sofa.
Step One
We carefully examine the territory of the site and estimate its capabilities. If you are going to equip an open area for recreation, a place for it can be found both in the front part of the garden and in its depths.
The main thing to be guided by when you select a site for the site:
- Let the approaches to it be convenient, and the location close to the house;
- It must be protected from the curious glances of passers-by;
- Provide a slight slope that will drain the accumulated water from the site.
If your site does not differ in special sizes, the site will turn out to be compact, and if vice versa, it can be divided into several parts, united by a common design.
Step Two
Start zoning the territory. This is best done with the help of green hedges that will decorate the recreation area and hide it from the eyes of neighbours and all strangers.
Coniferous plants are especially good as a material for hedges, which release essential oils into the air, which have the most beneficial effect on the human body.
Step Three
Prepare the basis of the recreation area. The best way to arrange a recreation area is a lawn. Soft and green, it will serve as a great place for games and picnics.
But the place for the table and chairs can be arranged using a variety of materials – stone, tile, wood, paving bricks or plastic corrugated panels.
Step Four
We find a place for a gazebo and barbecue. The gazebo is generally the best place for solitude and relaxation. Here you can drink tea and admire the beauties of nature and talk with friends. And the gazebo will protect you from bad weather and allow you to continue the holiday in case of sudden weather surprises.
It is best to place the gazebo in a remote corner of the garden, where silence reigns, and you can indulge in reflection, enjoying this very silence.
If you also want to decorate the gazebo beautifully, use beautiful climbing plants like clematis, climbing roses or honeysuckle.
The brazier will also diversify the look of your garden and will be a great gathering place for the whole family or friends. Sometimes, instead of a brazier, an outdoor fireplace is equipped on the site, which becomes a real replacement for the stove.
Step Five
Choose garden furniture. Garden furniture should combine two main things – light weight and practicality. The first allows you to move it effortlessly when necessary, and the second provides comfort. Of course, the materials for such furniture are usually easy to maintain and easily endure the vagaries of the weather. You can decorate furniture with different flooring and small pillows. At the first drops of rain, they can be carried into the house.
