Add a pergola or arbour covered with flowering vines to create a shaded retreat reminiscent of a Mediterranean courtyard.

Create cosy seating areas with wooden benches or Adirondack chairs adorned with plaid cushions and throws. Incorporate vintage-inspired décor such as birdhouses, wooden barrels, and lanterns to enhance the nostalgic ambiance. A vegetable patch or herb garden can further enhance the country feel.
