Make Your Deck Stand Out

As a very versatile outdoor structure, there are endless possibilities for deck decorating. You can probably picture it now, your deck design ideas floating around in your head, what furniture to pick, what color scheme to use, and when to start making your vision come true. 

Hanging lights

Using ambient lighting is essential to brighten your space at night and make your outdoor furniture and decorations stand out. There are many lighting pieces to choose from, especially when the holidays start rolling in. You can always opt for a classic look and opt for classic miniature chain lights. 

If you’re feeling a bit adventurous and like changing things up, these hanging outdoor pergola and deck yard lights by Sufeimas are a great choice. 

Deck Floor Lights

Even more creative lighting pieces, LED deck lights will make it easier to see at night and enjoy your deck when it’s dark out. They are solar-powered, eco-friendly, and waterproof, so you won’t have to worry about water damage before installing them. Deck lights should be an indisputable staple in your deck decorating ideas.

Poinsettias

Genuine poinsettias are an imported plant originating in Mexico and Central America. However, plastic and decorative poinsettias look beautiful hanging from your garlands and as decorative centerpieces in your outside space. Poinsettias are affordable and versatile when it comes to ideas for your living space. They come in different colors and sizes, providing you with a lot of creative liberty. 

Amazon has sets of red, gold, and silver poinsettias from Veryhome here. 

Garlands

Garlands are a staple in holiday decor. Most ornamental holiday pieces are adorned with them; we see them as crowns on people’s doors and even as an addition to Christmas trees and decorations. As far as deck decor goes, Garlands are perfect for wrapping around and covering the fence of your deck and giving it a festive look. They’re easy on the eyes and easy on your wallet. 

Party Joy has a selection of different sizes and colors that you can get here. 

Portable Fire Pit

Fire pits that you can move around are incredibly advantageous. They’re versatile and look great as centerpieces for outdoor furniture and deck design. There’s nothing better than gathering around a fire during the cold winter months with your closest friends and family members. They’re easy to light and easy to put out. 

Colsen sells a tabletop, rubbing alcohol-based fire pit for this purpose.
