This type of pergola is one of the most modern designs we have ever seen. This is suitable for all types of seasons since the glass windows and the sliding doors can protect you from extreme weather conditions.

If you prefer a simple and laid-back pergola design at your backyard, you can imitate this setup.

Feeling a bit festive? You can spice up the design of a pergola with some Moroccan designs! This kind of setup can give your family a quick mood boost because of the modern walls and plant ties in the ceiling.

There are also some flower pots around the pergola, which are all in contrasting colors for a more festive feel. You can sometimes see some white curtains on each side of the pergola, a huge sofa, and some colorful pillows inside for a relaxing feel.

4. DIY Modern Pergola With Hammock

Everyone loves a hammock! It’s very relaxing and it reminds everyone about being on the beach. But, not everyone has a place to put one in their homestead.

Luckily, you can use a modern pergola to attach a hammock on its opposite sides.

5. All-White Garden Pergola

Are you looking for a modern yet simple pergola design that can complement your garden?

In this setup, you can paint your pergola all white, like a blank canvas that can highlight the different colors of your flowers. Hang some vines and air plants along with the columns of the pergola, or put a few colorful pots of flowers beside the pergola posts.

And then, put a simple bench beside it for anyone who wants to admire your garden.
