January 20, 2022

A grey pergola will make a perfect addition to any garden scheme. Read our tips for styling one of these pergolas to give it your own personal touch.

Grey pergola - benefits in your garden

Adding a pergola into your garden can bring a whole new dimension to the space and is a great way to extend your home, creating an additional living space in the garden. This versatile product can then be used to create a space that serves your personal outdoor needs, by accessorising as you see fit. With the added benefit of providing protection from the sun, as well as shelter from the rain, you can use the space whatever the weather. Enjoy your garden year-round! Pergolas give you more from the outdoor space that you have worked so hard to perfect. Our Grey Pergola is sleek and stylish, perfect for a contemporary space, and to add an additional element of luxury to the design. Ideal for outdoor living, pergolas are a great addition to any garden.

Create an outdoor party space

If you are intending to mostly use your garden to host friends and family then use a metal pergola to create the perfect outdoor party space. A pergola with roof means that even if it is pouring with rain your party won’t be ruined. Grab a BBQ, position it close to the pergola and create your perfect setting for alfresco dining and hosting. Under the pergola place your modular sofa outdoor furniture, or your 6–8-person dining table with plenty of room for all the guests. From here the chef can quickly transfer the gourmet food from the barbecue straight to your guests, as well as still being part of the conversation. Add some spotlights to ensure guests can safely move around the garden after dark and you have everything you need to start hosting.

Ultimate relaxing space

For those that want a space to relax and unwind after a long day, a pergola can also be a great way to create an outdoor room to enjoy. The shelter means that after a long day you can come home and spend a calm evening in the garden. Picture yourself reading a good book, with a glass of wine or cup of tea whilst the rain creates gentle background noise. Use a firepit to create a central focal point, as well as to offer heat once the sun goes down. Create a cosy setting, lighting up the fire pit, snuggling around and grabbing a blanket. Position your garden furniture directed towards the fire pit to feel the full benefit of the heat source and relax late into the evening. Egg chairs and modular sets are the perfect choice of furniture for those looking to create their ultimate outdoor relaxing space. Finally, fit some fairy lights around the edge of the pergola for added, sweet, twinkling light effect.

These pergolas have many qualities that make them a practical addition to your outdoor space.

Create an intimate outdoor dining space

Alfresco dining is one of life's many joys. For those who want to make it a more common feature in their life, creating an outdoor dining area should be a priority. Place your outdoor dining table under the metal garden pergola to give it the feel of being a separate outdoor dining space, that can be enjoyed day-in and day-out. Use planters filled with lightly scented and vibrant plants to add the finishing touches and a few lights so that you can use the space even after dark.

Porcelain, natural stone paving or decking?

Our pergolas are free-standing which means that you have complete flexibility when it comes to your garden hardscaping. The neutral grey tones of the pergola also mean that they will complement almost any colour scheme, easily blending into your existing or intended garden design. The modern appearance of metal pergolas is a good match for contemporary materials like porcelain paving or composite decking. Equally, they can be easily tailored to the more classic feel of natural stone, such as sandstone, with a few additions, like planting, to soften the modern feel of the pergola.
