Beautiful recreation area in the country

So cozy, as in the photo, the recreation area is the dream of many summer residents. Still, after hard work on the beds it is so nice to relax in a soft armchair, surrounded by luxurious greenery.

It seems that the relaxation area is equipped on the veranda or terrace. This is evidenced by the floor from the boards and the lamp. Although, perhaps, this arbor is so framed, that is not the point. The main thing here is a cozy relaxing atmosphere. Her greens and flowering plants in pots create it, obviously handmade bright pillows and a colorful rug under her feet. It seems that the whole situation reminds the owners so that they do not forget to relax.

Outdoor sleeping canopy

Nobody will argue that outdoor sleep is good. In most cases, it will become impossible due to annoying insects. Somehow many people try to do without these uninvited guests, in the photo we see one of the simplest options.

Any mattress can act as a bed, it does not matter in this situation. The canopy attracts attention - a large section of light translucent fabric fixed on a perch. The fabric thrown through the pole can be sewn from the side of the pillow, the remaining panels can be moved and moved apart as needed. A lantern suspended on the same pole will allow reading in the absence of insects.

Recreation area under a large pergola

The owners can equip the recreation area in the country there and in a way where it is convenient, beautiful and appropriate from their point of view. The photo shows a very cozy recreation area under a large pergola.

The gazebo in the recreation area is a classic, in general, option, but here we see exactly the pergola, though quite spacious. Staying in it is comparable to relaxing in an ordinary comfortable room, only in the fresh air, in complete unity with nature. Contact with the natural environment along with comfort provide climbing plants. They use the supports and gratings of the pergola as trellises, shading the arbor and creating the illusion of an enclosed space.

Corner of rest in the country

Here you can make such a beautiful oasis in the corner of your site. In the photo, of course, not the poorest cottage, but the idea itself is important. It is clear that the bench under the tree can be called a relaxation corner. And to build such a relaxation corner, yes, it’s not easy.

Here, in my opinion, all the details are included. What do you need? A pond is a must, a place for sunbathing, greens, a flower bed for aesthetic enjoyment, a gazebo for eating and relaxing in the shade, a swing. Well, what else do you need? Although, maybe a small barbecue and a hammock. However, this is enough. It is unlikely that all these elements can fit in a small cottage, but the design of such a recreation area can be taken as a basis.
