Most English gardens have gazebos because it is the quintessential garden element. Let us take the Stowe Landscape Gardens. It has all the components that make it the epitome of romanticism, a style of gardening that was popular in the early- to the mid-18th century.  

You do not have to create such grand estates, but you can mimic this look on a smaller scale with the smallest amount of time, effort and money. The key to creating a “garden that looks like it’s straight out of a Jane Austen novel” — yes, please! — is in layering elements. Most importantly, do not forget the gazebos.

However, building one is not that easy. You need to consider the following elements to create your lovely gazebo successfully: 

Size 

The gazebo size depends on the amount of space available and your purpose for having one. Consider its shape, too. If you want a curved roof, you need to build it that way.

The gazebo size depends on the amount of space available and your purpose for having one. Consider its shape, too. If you want a curved roof, you need to build it that way. Your decision will depend on your taste, the amount of money and time you want to invest, and what you plan to use it for.

If you build a smaller size gazebo, you can also create different shapes when you shape the roof. However, a larger gazebo can accommodate more guests and is also perfect for outdoor parties and weddings. 

Design

The design you choose depends on the style of garden you have. If you have an estate with an Italian renaissance garden, you can select a design that matches it. The layout might have to be altered to suit the style of your garden.  

Generally, it would have an ornate look with arches and columns. However, if your garden is more modern, you can choose a simple geometric shape. A wood gazebo is a classic choice, especially if you have a garden with a rustic touch. You can also choose a structure made of metal, with a dome or a pointed top.

If you plan to have a gazebo in a garden with a modern look, you can choose a design that reflects the style. The metal and metal-and-glass gazebos come in all shapes, sizes, and techniques that you want.

Shape

The shape of the gazebo is a matter of personal preference. However, you need to know that there are different shapes that you can choose. The most traditional form is a half-circle. It is a perfect choice for a limited space.  

However, it is not as elegant as other shapes. If you want a more modern design, there are different shapes you can choose from. One of the most commonly used shapes is the square. If you want something that looks like a dome, the best choice is a circular shape.

The size and shape of the gazebo depend on the amount of space available and the look you want. The best gazebo for your garden is one you like because you will use it often.  

Conclusion

Layer elements are the best way to create a garden that looks like it is straight out of a Jane Austen novel. Sun shades, lawn furniture, statues, fountains, and other elements create the perfect setting. When you layer the elements, you are making a space that is beautiful to look at and relaxing to stay in.
