Curious about how to furnish your gazebo? See these creative ideas!
If you have a backyard gazebo or would love to have one, you will discover tons of design options. Traditionally, a gazebo is an outdoor structure with a solid pointed roof, flooring, and open sides. These sides usually have a wrap-around railing with one or two sides open. How can you furnish a gazebo? Discover these eight ways!
Built-in Benches
One of the simplest options for furnishing your gazebo would be to install a wrap-around bench along the interior perimeter. A bench like this provides ample and flexible seating and doesn’t take up much space.
Built-in Sofa Benches
You could also choose a luxurious version of the built-in bench: the built-in sofa bench. Upholster the bench with outdoor cushioning and have yourself a plush, covered outdoor living space. Add an outdoor coffee table to complete the look.
Table and Chairs
If you would like to use this space for dining, working, or playing games outdoors, then an outdoor table and chairs would work wonderfully. You could furnish the space with outdoor furniture or go with a built-in table and separate chairs.
Patio Chairs
Some gazebos are just meant for sitting for a few people to rest for a while. It might be enough to put a few patio or Adirondack chairs in the gazebo and perhaps a small side table and call it made.
Storage
Did you know you could built storage into your gazebo? Some gazebos have built-in “bookcases” made for outdoor objects like lanterns or potted plants. You could also incorporate storage through storage benches or a storage ottoman.
Plants
It’s popular to hang potted plants from the perimeter of a gazebo roof, which adds some privacy. You can also furnish your gazebo with potted plants on the floor or tabletop. A wild but creative option is to build a gazebo around a tree.
Lighting and HVAC
If you intend to make this space a cozy outdoor habitation by day or night, outdoor lighting and HVAC systems are a must. Ceiling fans, patio heaters, and misting systems are great options for gazebos.
Nothing
The last option is to put nothing in it at all. A blank platform, your gazebo could be the perfect setting for an outdoor concert, a dance, or your work out.
