It’s that time of the year again! The temperatures are getting warmer. the birds are returning, the flowers in your garden are starting to spring up, and that can only mean one thing, it is time to start holding barbecues and fun parties on your deck because spring has finally arrived! Nothing says “Thank goodness that blasted winter is finally done” quite like inviting friends and family over for outdoor fun in the sun.

If you’re ready to get your deck patio entertainment rolling, then here are a few Spring deck decorating ideas for your inaugural Spring barbecue.

Of course the first thing you’ll want to consider when coming up with spring deck decorating ideas is your guests comfortability, and most comfortability comes from seating, so if there’s not enough seating on your deck it’s time to expand. When dealing with seating you have two options, you can go out and but chairs/stools/ benches, or you could consider some fun and cheap DIY seating, like this bench made out of cinder blocks, or this bench created out of shipping pallets. If you’re looking for a more permanent seating solution this built-in deck bench has raiseable lids for storage. All of these are great spring deck decorating ideas that wont break the bank. No matter what kind of bench you choose, you should use pillows along the bench and against the railing of your deck for the best comfort for your guests. For spring, choose pillows with a bright splash of color or bold floral prints.

If you want your guests to linger as evening sets in, you’ll want to have some great deck lighting. String lights are always popular, as are rope lights. However, you can get a little more creative as well and create mason jar lanterns or wine bottle torches. These spring deck decorating ideas will create ambient lighting as well as keeping away those pesky mosquitoes.

Large and small planters full of spring flowers make great deck décor. Flowers will bring a colorful feature to your deck as well as giving you an excuse to spend the day outside in the sun planting and watering them- Just make sure to use sun screen!

Of course, the best way to make your deck pop is to make sure it is in great shape. If you want your deck to look like it was just built, please contact us and find out how to restore your deck to its former glory.
