Creating my own little private hideaway in my garden has always been on my priority list. I decided this past month to take a look at other peoples gardens to see what I would like most in my own little oasis.

This combination of a Gazebo with the wooden bench and pond with fountains on both sides, is one of my favorites. Can you imagine sitting on this bench with your loved one, listening to the symphony of crickets and frogs during a summer night?

I must admit that I still prefer my wood especially in its natural form used in these two benches. They are ideal for a huge garden and a big family like mine which enjoy visiting outside.

This wooden bench with its arched top looks quite beautiful between the plants in the garden. The ideal spot to relax with a book.

For a Victorian look, you can use cast iron which is quite durable if you maintain it correctly. Perfect place to have your cup of tea and chat with your best friend.

Ideal little hideaway between the green ferns and palms. Here you will have no problem to meditate, enjoy quiet time and connect with nature.

For me the perfect setting is a bench close to water. There is nothing more soothing, uplifting and healing than the sound of water. This combination of a pond, bridge and bench is my all time favorite.

Using concrete garden furniture right in the middle of your garden with a bridge leading to it can create quite a tranquil picture.
