In addition to cottages in the classic Swedish style and glazed arbors in a wide variety of wood tones, summer houses in neutral yet very natural grey-white are all the rage. They impress with their versatile appearance, which goes just as well with modern green spaces as with classic English-style gardens.
A garden house in gray and white looks very chic
For lovers of shabby chic
The vintage style has been very popular in home furnishings for several years. A garden shed painted in gray and white (€24.90) complements this style of living, because this color combination exudes natural comfort. Furnishings that show slight and intentional signs of wear make it really authentic. Keep them in light tones and complement the cozy interior design with loving details such as cushions, antique pots and green plants.
Stylish in Brit Chic
However, the neutral color scheme goes just as well with a garden shed that is reminiscent of a cozy cottage. A sofa or at least cushions with a rose pattern, the typical wall clock above the entrance and a cozy plaid transform the arbor into a British clockhouse.
Sober and modern
The clean tones of gray and white can also be perfectly combined with modern summer houses with a flat roof and straight lines. Very nice to go with it: a facility in Scandinavian design, whose simple but very well thought-out shape fits in wonderfully.
How is it deleted?
Regardless of whether it is a new garden house or one that has been standing for a long time, the wood must always be protected. If you want to beautify an older arbor, proceed as follows:
- Clear out and thoroughly clean the garden shed.
- Remove old paint residue with sandpaper.
- Sweep the wood well again so that the new glaze adheres well.
- Apply primer to protect against pests and fungi.
- Paint the garden shed gray to follow the course of the grain.
- Windows and doors are given a contrasting white coat of paint.
tips
If you are renovating the arbor, check the interior thoroughly for water ingress. The roofing felt is often worn out after a few years and it is worth re-covering the roof in the course of the work.
