Arbor design in various styles

In the summer in the country or in the garden of a country manor, you want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. This contributes to the sanitized area and organized recreation.

The architectural structure "arbor" has two functions - utilitarian and decorative. The utilitarian characteristics include, first of all, protection from rain and scorching sun.

For decorative purposes, a gazebo is performed in various styles, decorated with decorative elements (carvings or curtains), trimmed with stone, select certain materials that are in harmony with each other.

To choose the right design, it is better to rely on the design of existing buildings and landscape. Thus, the gazebo-terem will look strange next to a residential house in the German style "fakhverk".

When choosing a place for a gazebo, you should try make it so that from the inside there is a good view of the backyard territory. If the site is only at the beginning of the transformation path, a diagram of the entire site should be drawn up, and flower gardens, rock gardens, artificial pond, fountain or other landscape object should be displayed next to the future gazebo on it.

There are various types of arbors, which are combined into one object with other architectural forms:

• Arbor-kitchen. It is very convenient to have on the street a small kitchen under a canopy.It can be equipped with a small cutting board, sink, mini-fridge and even an electric stove. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the fresh air is now possible! And do not stand at the stove in the stuffy house.

• Barbecue with a canopy. Increasingly, in country plots you can find an outdoor fireplace, where barbecue or pilaf is cooked, and meat and fish are smoked. By combining a gazebo and such a hearth, you can take ready-made food “piping hot” in the company of friends and relatives. You can make a fire just to keep warm in the cool evening, to look at the flames and have a rest from the working day.

• Arbor Lounge. Such an architectural object can be made independent, and you can beat the terrace around the house, having issued a relaxation and recreation area in it. It is important that the interior of the building is relaxing - soft sofas, armchairs, the penumbra effect and light breeze. Transparent white curtains, a portable outdoor fireplace, potted flowers, and subdued lighting in the dark are suitable as decor.

• Easy canopy. Thanks to this decision, the site will not seem cluttered, especially if you pick up materials from the same group as the finishing of other buildings and the fence. Under the canopy, you can set the table and take a nap in the hammock.

• Winter arbor. Arbor for the cold season, as well as summer buildings, should have a good overview. This is achieved by large panoramic windows. For heating, you can use an outdoor fireplace. Arbors in the shape of a circle, in the center of which there is a barbecue area, and benches for guests and hosts, are becoming popular. In summer you can open the windows and enjoy the fresh air.

The variety of styles allows you to make the yard and garden unique, interesting and harmonious. Thanks to the breeders, it is possible to let even southern plants enter the territory of the country estate, so the buildings typical of hot countries will gain a decent background in the middle lane.

Such arbors are usually built on the frame technology of wood. It is important that the roof frame is not sewn up with finishing materials. The supports and beams are painted in rich brown color, they are made the main advantage and distinctive feature of such buildings.

Natural rough stone is welcome. They can lay out vertical supports, one or more walls gazebos, fireplace. The tree is also an integral part of the style.. The interior is filled with massive furniture: a large table with a heavy worktop, rough chairs and chairs. The colors are pastel, natural - nothing flashy and bright.

The culture and life of the East for a European is always a bit fabulous, unhurried, incomprehensible, which is why it is so attractive. Making a European garden in Chinese or Japanese style is no longer such a rarity.

The buildings in the style of the Middle Kingdom are distinguished by the elegance of lines and shapes, as well as the presence of traditional woodcarving, but the main feature is the hipped or pyramidal roof with elevated corners of the pagoda type. Such a construction requires skill.

Another variant of the embodiment of the East on the site may be gazebos of the type of Asian tent. To decorate such the object should be a large number of textiles: curtains, pillows, carpets. In such a space, it suggests the presence of a hookah, Turkish coffee and tea.

To create a truly sultry landscape can be inspired by even more southern motifs. Equatorial style dictates its own rules for choosing material: it should be bamboo. You can not worry about the durability of this design. Bamboo stalks are very strong, they are not afraid of excessive moisture and temperature changes. The roof is traditionally constructed from a palm leaf, but in our climate we can replace it with regular hay.

Modern high-tech styles and minimalism dictate their own rules of architecture, decoration and landscape design. The main feature is strict geometric forms. The roof is mostly flat, straight or single-sided, however there are projects of unusual shapes - a ball, an oval, a polygon. Futuristic gazebos, of course, will surprise the guests, will become the pride of the owners, but it is not easy to put such an idea into practice.

The style corresponds to objects with a large number of curved lines, convex and concave shapes, resembling the stems of plants. Pastel colors and natural materials in the design emphasize the connection of modernity with nature. The style is complex in performance and rather massive, despite the smoothness of the lines, so it does not have wide popularity in modern architecture.

This style is characterized by large spaces. Arbor should be high and roomy. Rigid metal structures, concrete floor, corrugated roof, decor is full of steel paraphernalia - this is the whole loft.

Loft style was born when abandoned industrial buildings began to settle down in people. Immediate construction of pavilions in this style has not yet gained wide popularity, but if you set a goal, you can build an interesting object that meets all the trends.

Authentic country emphasizes the traditional architecture of a particular country and locality. It is considered that this is a rustic style, but classical English houses, alpine chalets, half-timbered German buildings and so on can be attributed to the country style.

Our Russian country is a village hut with recognizable woodcarving, therefore the gazebo is either a tower or a rough chopped structure. Such an object can perfectly complement a large brick stove from the street or plastered and whitewashed, made under the old days.. Table and chairs - also wooden, can be decorated with carvings. The decor mainly consists of items of peasant life. By the feast, you can make a big samovar and enjoy a drink in the fresh air.

Arbor in this style is a sophisticated building without too much decor. Everything is very simple, concise. Thanks to the natural tones used in the design, the gazebo seems to dissolve in the natural landscape. Very often this style prevails for the design of winter options.

It was invented in the south of France in order to create passages in gardens under the shade of vines. Therefore, this type of gazebo can be attributed to the style of Provence. Other climbers such as roses, ivy, wild grapes and others can wrap around such a design.

This is the embodiment of rural simplicity in the interior and exterior of the country estates.Materials for creating a rustic arbor should be only natural, deliberately rough and unprocessed. Natural stone and wood - the main options for finishing. The form of the building should also be simple, even elementary. The interior of the building can be equipped with a stone lined fireplace - the fire will give comfort to the decoration.

• Unusual solutions for the shape and decoration of arbors can be taken from any sphere of life. Extravagant options can be made in the form of a kettle, a ship, a carriage, and so on.
• Tanning sheds, due to the ease of construction, can also take on different lines and outlines. On the one hand, the appearance of such an arbor is suitable for the design of virtually any area, on the other - it looks unusual and impressive.

• In the presence of a large area, especially if it can boast a variety of relief or seascape, it will be appropriate to build a gazebo - a viewing platform. Gather guests on a picnic and enjoy an exceptional view - what could be better? The stylistic decision can pick up any.
• Sometimes you do not need to invent an unusual design or stick to a certain style,to build a truly original gazebo. It is enough to create conditions for climbing plants so that they can take care of all the chores for the decor. Flowering varieties will fill the corner with an atmosphere of romance and an indescribable aroma, deciduous reeds will provide maximum protection from the sun and rain.
