Nothing is worse than when the cold weather goes away, the flowers bloom and the warm sunlight comes back after a long winter, and your stuck at work admiring it all through the window in your office. It’s safe to say that when the weather warms up, you’re probably thinking about getting to spend more time outside enjoying the start of spring. I know for me during these hard days inside I’m planning my weekend activities around being outside and soaking in the sunlight. The first thing on my list is to plan some spring deck decorating ideas, as my deck will be where I spend the majority of my time enjoying the beautiful spring weather with family and friends. What better way to spend your time outside than to work on your home getting it ready for guests. These 5 spring deck decorating ideas can help you turn your deck into an oasis of calm and allow you to get the most use out of your outdoor living room.

5 Spring Deck Decorating Ideas 

• ) Add deck lighting – Deck lighting will not only improve the ambiance of your deck, it will also extend the area’s use into night. Try string or bistro lights for an inexpensive quick fix. Or pick up some anti-bug candles and spread them out on tables and corners of the deck. Nothing can ruin a beautiful outdoor evening with your significant other like mosquitoes.

• ) Use fresh plants or flowers – Adding fresh plants or flowers to your deck will help blend it with your backyard. Try small pots of herbs for a small kitchen garden, or pick bright-colored blooms to add color.

• ) Use a rug to define the space – To create a cozy nook or eating area on your deck, use an outdoor rug to define your space. These low-maintenance rugs add visual appeal and create an instant sense of space.

• ) Jazz up your outdoor seating – Whether you have Adirondack chairs, an outdoor sofa, or a metal bistro table with small dining chairs, a little extra attention can bring the seating area to life. Use blankets and throw pillows to add color and punch to your deck. Or look at these great ideas for do-it-yourself seating.

• ) Add a personal touch – After you’ve done all of the above improvements, make the deck your own by adding personal decorative touches. Whether you incorporate bird feeders, lanterns, or rustic wall art, small personal touches make the space feel unique. When doing this step think of what you love, your passions, and incorporate it into your spring deck decorating.

It’s that time of the season to sit back and enjoy the beautiful weather, make sure you do so sitting on an equally beautiful deck. For more deck decorating ideas, or to find out how to clean your deck, contact us.
