A city person 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, you can achieve complete relaxation with a good design of the recreation area in the country, which we will talk about now.
Where can I organize a recreation area
Usually in the country there is a recreation 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
This 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 always a barbecue aside, but the arrangement of the patio does not end with these items. If the area allows, the place is decorated with flower beds, lawns, even swimming pools and sun loungers are installed. Large umbrellas are often used for shading.
A medium-sized courtyard is decorated with a small pond. The decorative fountain or the laid out hill from a stone on which water flows beautifully looks. Plastic or folding furniture and a barbecue are installed nearby. The yard where the patio is equipped is usually surrounded by a high fence. Flowers and shrubs are planted near the fence.
Canopy or gazebo
A popular design of the recreation area is a 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. Who has an unlimited budget, they build chic gazebos with columns. They can also be closed or semi-closed. Often closed gazebos are built with a brick barbecue or a factory-made mobile barbecue is installed.
Roofs can surprise with a variety of forms. If the dacha is small, then the gazebo is usually set up with a simple 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 made of decorative brick or simply lined with stone is removed from the roof.

Closed recreation area
A closed recreation 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, this design is difficult to erect, so bamboo screens are often used for walls, or the opening is simply sheathed with wooden slats to make a lattice. A decorative vine is allowed to weave along it.
For roofs, original design ideas from natural materials are used. The roof is equipped with reeds or reeds. If there is no such vegetation nearby, 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 mercy of the forest, an ideal place to relax can be organized under branchy trees. The crown will replace the roof, but it will save only from the sun. If the trees are densely leafed, there is a chance of being saved from light rain, but not from a downpour. You can decorate such an area under the trees only with furniture made of moisture-resistant materials. In addition to the table and benches, nothing else is needed here. If necessary, a portable barbecue can be installed to 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 of open and closed type. For such a recreation area in the country, the design is carried out so that the living space is in harmonious contact with nature.
On the closed terraces they put upholstered furniture, and even heaters, so that you can use the room in cold weather. Recently, it has been fashionable to place a pool on the site. The terrace is set up for the 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 in the form of an observation deck looks in the photo. However, a person whose suburban area is located on a hill can afford such joy. The site can be made hanging or simply organized along the edge of the hill. It is ideal if tall trees grow below, reaching the top of the site fence.
Relaxation area in the garden with a swing and a hammock
Traditionally, they are used to seeing a place of rest with a table and chairs. And why not approach the organization of this issue from the other side? If the cottage 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 flowerpot with flowers. This place is perfect for relaxation and reunion with nature. Barbecue, table and chairs are simply out of place here.
Choosing furniture for the recreation area
Especially for staying in nature, garden furniture is sold in stores. 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 chairs 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 carved from thick tree trunks. It only needs to be treated with impregnations that protect the wood from decay.
What you need for decor
For decor, it is not necessary to buy expensive things. Many items are lying around in the country, and they can decorate a place of rest. Clay pots are suitable for flowerpots. Large containers are placed on the floor of the site, and small ones with flowers are hung with flower pots. Even a beautiful bird feeder made with your own hands will become an ornament. From store decor items, garden LED lanterns are suitable. They are hung on trees, and also placed along the paths. Expensive but beautiful garden sculptures will create a fabulous atmosphere. If desired, you can make a small pond with stones and a waterfall.
