Having a spa in your backyard should be a peaceful retreat. However, feeling exposed can really spoil the tranquility. I’ve compiled some of my most cherished ideas to help you design a secluded sanctuary around your spa.
1. Use Exterior Drapes for Adaptability
Exterior drapes provide flexible privacy and an element of grace. I chose weatherproof material so my drapes stay pristine all year.
2. Add a Feature Canopy for Panache and Shelter
A feature canopy not only shields your spa but also introduces a hint of sophistication. I adore draping fairy lights from mine for added mood.
3. Add a Water Feature for Sound and Privacy
A water feature not only adds a calming sound but can act as a visual shield. My small waterfall makes my backyard feel like a spa.
4. Consider a Shadow Sail for Stylish Privacy
A shadow sail is stylish and functional, offering both UV protection and privacy. Mine is a lovely shade that complements the sky.
5. Use Exterior Rugs and Cushions for Comfy Privacy
Placing exterior rugs and cushions around your spa can craft a comfy, private nook. My setup feels like an outdoor living room, inviting and intimate.
6. Install a Bespoke Spa Enclosure
A bespoke enclosure can be tailored to your style and needs, offering complete privacy. My friend built one and it feels like a private spa room.
7. Plant a Green Wall or Vertical Garden
A green wall is a full and eco-conscious privacy option. My vertical garden is full of herbs, adding both privacy and fragrance.
8. Hang Exterior Louvers for Shade and Privacy
Exterior louvers are great for controlling light and privacy. Mine are made from a robust material that withstands the harsh sun.
9. Use Ornamental Dividers for a Bespoke Feel
Ornamental dividers can be a charming and bespoke option. I picked ones with complex patterns that cast lovely shadows.
10. Use Frames with Trailing Flora
A frame with trailing flora like jasmine adds natural beauty and privacy. My frames are filled with fragrant blooms that delight the senses.
11. Experiment with a Pull-Down Privacy Screen
A pull-down screen provides privacy when needed and can be stowed away when not. I love the flexibility it gives me throughout the year.
12. Select a Current Feel with Etched Glass Screens
Etched glass screens are ideal for those wanting privacy without sacrificing light. My screens also act as wind guards, a definite plus!
13. Design a Green Screen with High Plants
Using high-reaching plants such as bamboo or evergreens can form a natural and full privacy screen. I’ve enclosed my own spa with bamboo, and it’s like unwinding in a hidden jungle.
14. Add a Summerhouse for Total Enclosure
A summerhouse provides complete cover and transforms your spa into a welcoming retreat. Adding plants around it enhances the secluded sensation.
15. Choose an Earthy Fence
A wooden fence crafts an earthy and cozy feeling while ensuring privacy. I painted mine a gentle tone to match my garden.
