Decorating Your Deck

The deck is a great, and sometimes underestimated, place for entertaining. A well-decorated outdoor space provides the perfect ambiance for gathering with friends and family, grilling and enjoying the extra time surrounded by nature.

Decks can be transformed with simple solutions, including a variety of plantings, intimate lighting and an array of colors. Get inspired with these deck design ideas to decorate your outdoor space.

Heat-Resistant Blooms

Plants are the most important feature on your deck to create an environment that embraces being outdoors. Nothing is worse than a sterile wasteland of deck space. Potted plants are a simple addition to a deck to add lush greenery and vibrant color. But, overexposure to the elements can fry your beautiful plants, so be sure to consult the experts at your local nursery to select plants that can withstand the heat.Flowers to Decorate Your Deck

Shade Solutions - Decks and Patios

Nobody wants to melt in the sun or run inside when it rains. Your deck should offer at least one space that serves as respite from direct sunlight and the weather. Say no way to the boring eyesore of the oversized table umbrella.

Jodi, You make 2 great points. The choice of plants can be the difference between liitle and alot of maintenence. The shaded area, also great. Being down in Florida the sun rays can be killer. The plus to both of these, added value to your home when you sell, and if you don't sell, you can have a great party.
