Scandi Wood Getaway

Often a structure with a flat roof is called a pavilion or a pergola, but others consider it a gazebo if the roof is solid. Whatever you call it, this modern outdoor space from @scandi_up_north is gorgeous!

The frame features standard treated lumber, painted black. They chose treated roof battens for the cladding and floorboards, with a waterproof membrane for the roof. They treated the wood with clear oil.

The clean lines and neutral furnishings fit well with the couple’s Scandinavian aesthetic.

Stylish Details

You’ll need ample seating to make your gazebo as welcoming as this one from Samantha Curtis of @samantha_show.

“We spend a lot of time in the backyard and wanted to create a space that felt like our own little oasis,” she says. “This gazebo is from Lowe’s, and my husband was able to construct it in one day. We added twinkly lights for coziness and lanterns, faux plants and decorative pillows for the final touch.”
