A city man buys a dacha not only for growing vegetables. The country house is a great place to relax. In nature, the air is clean and the silence is soothing. However, complete relaxation can be achieved with a good design of the recreation area in the country, which we will now talk about.
Where can I organize a recreation area
Usually in the country there is a seating area in the garden or in the yard. As a standard, a barbecue, a table with chairs are installed on the site, sometimes a canopy is erected. We offer you several other ideas for arranging a summer cottage recreation area.
Patio
Such an area in the country is also called a patio. The principle of arrangement is simple. There is a patio near the house. In the open air, a table, benches or chairs are installed in the center of the site. There is definitely a barbecue on the sidelines, but these items do not end with the arrangement of the patio. If space permits, the place is decorated with flower beds, lawns, even pools, sun loungers are installed. Large umbrellas are often used for shading.
The courtyard is medium in size with a small pond. Looks beautiful decorative fountain or a lined slide from a stone, along which water flows. Install plastic or folding furniture and a barbecue nearby. The yard where the patio is set up is usually surrounded by a high fence. Flowers and shrubs are planted near the fence.
Canopy or gazebo
A popular design for the recreation area is the gazebo. There are a lot of options for its design. You can get by with a simple canopy, under which chairs and a table will fit. Those who have an unlimited budget build chic pavilions with columns. They can also be closed or semi-closed. Often closed gazebos are built with a barbecue made of bricks or installing a factory-made mobile barbecue.
Roofs can surprise you with a variety of shapes. If the dacha is small, then the gazebo is usually placed unpretentious with a flat or hipped roof. In large suburban areas, complex structures are erected with original curved roof shapes. When using a stationary barbecue, a beautiful chimney is taken out of the roof from decorative bricks or simply lined with stone.

Closed seating area
A closed seating area is a large room against the backdrop of nature. If the columns and walls are made of stone, then large openings are provided. They are then covered with curtains. However, such a structure is difficult to erect, therefore, bamboo screens are often used for the walls, or the opening is simply sheathed with wooden slats to make a lattice. A decorative liana is allowed to trail along it.
For roofs, they use original design ideas from natural materials. The roof is equipped with reeds or reeds. If there is no such vegetation in the vicinity, traditional light materials are used: soft roofing, corrugated board, polycarbonate or metal tiles.
Arrangement of a recreation area under the trees
In summer cottages located at the behest of the forest, an ideal resting place can be organized under branchy trees. The crown will replace the roof, but it will save only from the sun. If the trees are heavily foliated, there is a chance of escape from light rain, but not from heavy rain. You can arrange such an area under the trees only with furniture made of moisture-resistant materials. Apart from a table and benches, nothing else is needed here. If necessary, a portable barbecue can be installed on the side.
Relax on the terrace
If there is a terrace attached to the house, then you can not look for a better place to relax. Here you can install garden furniture, arrange landscaping, hang a hammock and much more. A terrace is a platform that rises above the ground along one or more walls. Depending on what time of rest it is designed for, the extension can be open and closed. For such a recreation area in the country, the design is performed so that the living space is in harmony with nature.
On closed terraces, they put upholstered furniture, and even heaters, so that you can use the room in cold weather. Recently, it has become fashionable to place a pool on the site. The terrace is equipped with a beach. Install sun loungers, sun umbrellas and other attributes.
Recreation area in the form of an observation deck
See how beautiful the recreation area in the country house looks in the form of an observation deck in the photo. However, such joy can be afforded by a person whose suburban area is located on a hill. The platform can be made hanging or simply arranged along the edge of the hill. Ideally, tall trees grow below, reaching with their top to the site fence.
Relaxation area in the garden with swing and hammock
Traditionally, a place of rest is used to see a table and chairs. Why not approach the organization of this issue from the other side? If the country house has a well-groomed lawn with a beautiful garden, then here you can install a couple of hammocks and wide benches in the form of a swing. An additional decoration of the site will be a large clay pot with flowers. Such a place is perfect for relaxation and reunification with nature. Brazier, table and chairs are simply out of place here.
Choosing furniture for a recreation area
Garden furniture is sold in shops especially for spending time in nature. Its peculiarity is that it is made of materials that are resistant to the negative effects of the natural environment. Portable furniture should be light, it is better if it is folding. Those who like to sit on soft armchairs can buy pillows and covers separately. If necessary, they are equipped with wicker or metal chairs, and after rest they are taken into the house. An economical option is eco furniture cut from thick tree trunks. It only needs to be treated with impregnations that protect the wood from decay.
What do you need for decor
It is not necessary to buy expensive items for decoration. A lot of objects are lying around in the country, and they can be used to decorate a resting place. Clay pots are suitable for flowerpots. Large containers are placed on the floor of the site, and small containers with flowers are hung with pots. Even a beautiful bird feeder made with your own hands will become a decoration. From in-store decor items, garden LED lights are suitable. They are hung on trees, and also placed along the paths. Expensive but beautiful garden sculptures will create a fabulous atmosphere. If you wish, you can make a small pond with stones and a waterfall.
There are a lot of ideas for organizing a vacation spot in the country. You just need to not be afraid to make your dreams come true, try to experiment and stay in a suburban area can be compared to visiting a resort.
