Are you searching for more ways to create cool and welcoming spaces in your backyard? You’ve come to the right place! We’ve gathered dozens of pergola ideas to give your outdoor space an inviting look. (According to the National Association of Landscape Professionals, pergolas are a top outdoor living space trend for 2024!)
It can be challenging to create an area that’s constructed to keep you cool and cozy—especially if your yard doesn’t have shade trees to block the sun’s blazing heat—but that’s exactly a pergola’s primary purpose. Pergolas come in a variety of designs and sizes, making them a good choice for any style of home. They are also relatively easy to build with simple pergola kits. (If you’re timid about taking on a new DIY pergola project alone, take the time to research local contractors that can build a beautiful pergola for you!)
What Is a Pergola?
A pergola is a structure that provides shade from the sun’s harsh rays and, if enclosed, can keep you dry during periods of heavy rain showers. (Fun Fact: Pergola is an Italian word with ancient origins and is derived from the Latin term “pergola,” which references a latticework or trellis structure that supports climbing plants.)
A few key features distinguish pergolas from gazebos: A gazebo is a freestanding structure with open sides, a roof, and typically constructed in hexagonal or octagonal shape, while pergolas are structures that consist of parallel columns that hold up an open roof or grid of beams, rafters, or lattice work. They are typically made of wood (and other materials like vinyl and steel) and can be detached or attached to a home.
What Types of DIY Options Are Available?
Pergolas can be customized to include curtains for privacy, string lights for nighttime lounging, picturesque box planters or hanging planters filled with fragrant herbs or flowers, and ornate trellises for fast growing flowering vines to climb. Below, you’ll find plenty of inspiring ideas for pergolas of all styles, plus helpful sources to help you build your own and fun decorating ideas for existing patios and porches.
Before you begin, be sure to look into whether or not you’ll need a permit for your project, and consider hiring a professional for more complex builds. Now get started building the garden retreat of your dreams!
Pergola-covered patios (cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice are attached to the side of the home) provide the best of both worlds with a breezy area that gets just enough sunlight and just enough coverage. Here, at a home designed by the architects at Historical Concepts and interior designer Barbara Westbrook, the pergola-covered patio provides both a potting station and an alfresco dining spot. The elegant architecture helps the area seems like a genuine “room.”
Repurpose natural elements to recreate a rustic pergola. Interior designer Hadley Wiggins and Daniele Marin sit at a cozy outdoor dining table nestled under a whimsical pergola made from sprawling tree branches. A pea gravel patio helps define the outdoor space.
Take the road less traveled and add a pergola to an entry in need of some shade. Make it even more stunning with the addition of beautiful planters filled with greenery as well as furniture accents like wicker chairs.
Consider adding a pergola to an empty courtyard or garden space. A wood pergola and Mediterranean-inspired furnishings enhance an area with wood-burning brick oven and cooking station with stone counters. The finished project is an outdoor “room” perfect for hosting company or savoring a book alone on a lazy afternoon.
When California homeowner Jen Curtis isn’t hosting dinner parties out in her dreamy cottage garden, the pergola-shaded, 10-foot-long farm table (painted with outdoor paint for durability) becomes additional gardening work space. TOUR THE HOME
