If you're looking for an easy, stylish and affordable way to carve out a dedicated outdoor living zone, IKEA's garden shade collection is full of really clever designs, and their HAMMARÖN pergola, £319, is one of those rare finds that punches well above its price point.
With its clean lines, neutral colourway and generous footprint, it taps into that outdoor room trend without veering into overly bulky or permanent territory, which is perfect as a small garden idea. It's ideal for anyone looking for a pergola idea that provides instant shade without making an outdoor space feel enclosed.
