Spanish Gazebo Styles

    • Gazebos began as ornately carved outdoor focal points.park gazebo image by Pix by Marti from Fotolia.com

      Originating in the Victorian period as gazebo, a mock-Latin word meaning "I shall gaze," these open post-and-beam buildings typically have five, six or eight sides and are topped with a peaked roof. Modern-day gazebos may mimic the old-fashioned style with elaborate scroll-work or wrought iron handrails, but homeowners desiring a Spanish flair to landscape need to incorporate Mediterranean elements when planning their gazebo.

    Fabric Treatments

    • From curtains to pillows, the appropriate fabric treatments will add a touch of Spain to your gazebo. Select material in bright oranges, yellows, reds, blues and greens to bring out the colors of Mexican tile. Flowing curtains in bleached or unbleached cotton will provide shade in the heat of the day and privacy whenever you like. A zesty red table cloth is always a good foundation for dining al fresco.
