A city person buys a dacha not only to grow vegetables. A country house is a wonderful holiday destination. In nature, the air is clean and the silence is calming. However, complete relaxation can be achieved with a good design of the recreation area at the dacha, which we will talk about now.
Where can you organize a recreation area?
Usually at the dacha 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, and sometimes a canopy is erected. We offer you several other ideas for arranging a dacha 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’s definitely a barbecue to the side, but arranging the patio doesn’t end with these items. If space allows, the place is decorated with flower beds, lawns, and even swimming pools and sun loungers are installed. Large umbrellas are often used for shade.
A medium-sized courtyard is decorated with a small pond. Looks beautiful decorative fountain or a slide laid out from a stone with water flowing over it.Plastic or folding furniture and a barbecue are installed 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 a 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. Those who have an unlimited budget build luxurious gazebos with columns. They can also be closed or semi-closed. Often closed gazebos are built with brick grills or install a factory-made mobile barbecue.
Roofs come in a surprising variety of shapes. If the dacha is small, then a simple gazebo with a flat or hipped roof is usually installed. On large suburban areas, complex structures with original curved roof shapes are erected. When using a stationary barbecue, a beautiful chimney made of decorative brick or simply lined with stone is removed from the roof.

Closed seating area
The 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 construct, so bamboo screens are often used for walls, or the opening is simply lined with wooden slats to create a lattice. A decorative vine is allowed to trail along it.
For roofs, original design ideas made from natural materials are used. The roof is made of reeds or reeds. If there is no such vegetation nearby, use traditional lightweight materials: soft roofing, corrugated sheets, polycarbonate or metal tiles.
Arrangement of a recreation area under the trees
In summer cottages located outside the forest, an ideal resting place can be organized under branchy trees. The crown will replace the roof, but it will only save you from the sun. If the trees are densely covered with foliage, there is a chance of escape from light rain, but not from heavy rain. Such an area under the trees can only be decorated with furniture made from moisture-resistant materials. Apart from a table and benches, nothing else is needed here. If necessary, you can install a portable barbecue to the side.
Relaxing on the terrace
If there is a terrace attached to the house, then you don’t have to 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 raised above the ground along one or more walls. Depending on the rest period it is designed for, the extension can be open or closed. For such a recreation area in the country, the design is carried out so that the living space is in harmonious contact with nature.
Upholstered furniture and even heaters are placed on closed terraces so that the premises can be used in cold weather. Recently, it has become fashionable to place a swimming pool on the site. The terrace is being equipped as a beach.Sun loungers, sun umbrellas and other attributes are installed.
Relaxation area in the form of an observation deck
Look how beautiful the recreation area at the dacha in the form of an observation deck looks 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 will grow below, reaching their tops to the fence of the site.
Relaxation area in the garden with swing and hammock
Traditionally, people are used to seeing a resting place with a table and chairs. Why not approach this issue from a different angle? If your dacha has a well-kept lawn with a beautiful garden, then you can install a couple of hammocks and wide benches in the form of a swing. An additional decoration for the site will be a large clay pot with flowers. This place is perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. The barbecue, table and chairs are simply inappropriate here.
Choosing furniture for the recreation area
Garden furniture is sold in stores especially for being outdoors. 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 relaxation they are taken into the house. An economical option is eco-furniture, carved from thick tree trunks. It just needs to be treated with impregnations that protect the wood from rotting.
What you need for decoration
You don't have to buy expensive things for decoration. There are many items lying around the dacha, and they can be used to decorate your vacation spot.Clay pots are suitable for flowerpots. Large containers are placed on the floor of the area, and small containers with flowers are hung using flower pots. Even a beautiful homemade bird feeder will become a decoration. Garden LED lanterns are suitable for store-bought decorative items. They are hung on trees and also placed along paths. Expensive but beautiful garden sculptures will create a fabulous atmosphere. If desired, you can make a small pond with stones and a waterfall.
