Breeze blocks skyrocketed in popularity in the 1950s and 1960s due to their bold design while allowing a strong connection to the outdoors. They’re a hallmark of the popular Palm Springs/mid-century modern look and provide style and versatility. Read on to discover ideas for incorporating this design trend into your home!
Breeze block feature wall
Bring your outdoor space to life with a canvas of geometric patterns! You can use breeze blocks in feature strips, feature panels or even build an entire feature wall – the choice is yours.
Remember that they offer little privacy or noise reduction, so they may not be the most appropriate choice for an entire boundary wall. However, by creating a breeze block feature within ModularWalls’ range of premium walls and fences, you can enjoy the benefits of a secure and sturdy base while still achieving a modern look.

Internal privacy screen
Harness the magic of perspective by building a privacy screen for your outdoor area that blocks sight at certain angles! These are great for outdoor showers or indoor-outdoor rooms, allowing for shade without compromising on ventilation or natural light.
Contemporary garden walls
Edging your garden with a breeze block design can add an eye-catching touch. However, ensure you consider soil levels; you don’t want dirt spilling through the holes!
You can also give a quick, easy face-lift to tired raised garden beds or planter boxes by using a decorative border of breeze blocks to hide old timber or worn-out concrete sleepers.
Alternatively, create an intimate courtyard area that still feels fresh and open with breeze blocks (also known as ventilation blocks).
Pergola or outdoor room with breeze blocks
Add an elegant living space to your backyard with a breeze block pergola or outdoor room! A perfect way to create a resort-style oasis in your own backyard.

Breeze blocks are undoubtedly a design trend that’s here to stay. Their timeless appeal and functional versatility make them an excellent choice for infusing a touch of retro-chic into your outdoor spaces. Whether you want to create a Palm Springs vibe or a bolder, contemporary look, breeze blocks can elevate your space to something special and striking.
