10 Ideas to create a relaxation area in Patios and Gardens
Those who like life outdoors and are lucky enough to have a patio, terrace or garden , no matter how small, surely know how essential it is to have space to sit .
One of the most viewed alternatives throughout our publications is that if you are our follower you should know very well that we love furniture made with pallets , they are precisely the benches made with these wooden pallets . And as we can see, furniture with pallets does not always have to look rustic, depending on how the wood is worked we can also achieve a certain elegance.
Another way to get benches for the garden without spending a lot of money is by using concrete blocks. Not to be scared, we are not talking about works. As you can see in the following image, it is only a matter of stacking these blocks in a corner (better if it is against a wall so we save the backing) and then, placing a mat and cushions to decorate a little.
Something similar, but a bit more sophisticated, is to combine concrete blocks with wooden braces, obviously cut to size and the wood previously treated. Look how wonderful what we can achieve:
If we have a large tree in the yard, the kind that provides very dense shade, a good idea would be to make a bench that completely surrounds this tree. Yes, in this case it is a work bench , therefore, it is likely that we will need help from an expert.
Those who have enough space may be interested in the possibility of building a wooden deck with benches also made of wood. With the help of a good carpenter we can achieve interesting results.
Another alternative for those who have enough space and, obviously, budget to mount it, are the pergolas . Nothing more decorative than one of these pergolas with an armchair or individual benches to organize lunches or dinners outdoors.
We loved the idea of making benches out of recycled logs . Obviously we are not inciting to damage trees, but to give use to trees that for some reason have been cut or have fallen.
We love the idea of a large corner bench in the background. This option is ideal for small patios , as it does not take up much space.
Do you live in an area that is quite cold? Do you like to enjoy life outdoors despite the low temperatures? If we have an outdoor fireplace , nothing better than to surround it with chairs, armchairs or benches to share some time by the fire.
And as a last option we have left that of the typical plaza benches . Yes, the truth is that this type of bench is sold in almost all decoration stores, and there are them for all tastes and pockets.
