In recent years, there's been a notable shift towards integrating wellness into our daily lives, with homeowners transforming outdoor spaces into personal sanctuaries.
Pergolas (otherwise known as verandas or glass rooms) and garden rooms are leading this movement, offering serene environments perfect for relaxation and health-focused activities.
Pergolas and verandas: open-air retreats for mind and body
Verandas, traditionally extensions of the home, have evolved into versatile spaces that blend indoor comfort with outdoor freedom.
Their open yet sheltered design makes them perfect for various wellness activities:
- Yoga and meditation: The gentle embrace of nature provides the perfect backdrop to mindfulness practices. Imagine morning yoga sessions accompanied by birdsong or evening meditations with the backdrop of a setting sun.
- Outdoor spas: Add a hot tub, hammock or relaxation area to transform your veranda into a personal spa, providing relaxation and rejuvenation without ever leaving home.
- A cosy sanctuary, whatever the weather: Looking for an outdoor retreat that offers a little more protection? Glass panels and doors can be added to keep the elements out, creating a more enclosed space. You might also love the Pinela Deluxe, featuring a louvred roof that adjusts at the touch of a button—perfect for creating a tranquil escape, rain or shine.
Garden rooms: customised wellness sanctuaries
If you prefer a more enclosed yet nature-connected space, garden rooms offer the perfect solution.
They can be designed to support a variety of wellness activities:
- Fitness studios: Create a private gym with all your equipment, surrounded by garden views for added motivation.
- Creative spaces: Whether it’s painting, writing, or music, a garden room offers a peaceful retreat to spark creativity and enhance mental well-being.
- Smart storage: Need extra storage for fitness gear or creative supplies? Our modular garden rooms allow you to combine indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring everything is neatly tucked away while keeping your wellness oasis clutter-free. Take a look at the Tellurio Classico for inspiration.
Designing your outdoor wellness space
To create a functional and inspiring wellness area, consider these key elements:
- use natural materials like wood and stone to harmonise with the environment, promoting a sense of peace
- incorporate plants to enhance air quality and add to the calming ambiance (we’ve written a blog about using greenery to enhance the seamless living trend)
- add comfortable seating and invest in climate control to make the space inviting year round.
