5 Ideas for Decorating Your Deck for the Holidays

Here are some ideas for decorating your deck and outdoor living area for the upcoming holidays:

Wreath

How about putting on wreath on the deck? Most people hang them on the front door, but you can just as easily hang one on the back door or even a wall.

Lights

Put some Christmas lights on the deck. Just make sure you are using lights that are designed for being outside. You can put lights on the house or around deck railings or have freestanding lighted creatures or sculptures.

Fabrics

How about some throw blankets in Christmas colors. Choose ones that can be washed easily. You can also put out some pillows on chairs that have Christmas patterns, changing out the ones you usually have outside.

Centerpieces

On tables or ledges, you can have centerpieces similar to one for the dining table with pine cones, gourds, squashes in different shapes and sizes, and evergreen branches. All of these things suggest a holiday vibe.

Paper Plates and Napkins

If you are having guests, you can always put out some paper plates and napkins for a holiday theme. Serve drinks or food with Santa napkins. All the big box stores have holiday-themed accessories.

The holidays come every year, and it’s not hard or expensive to make your deck part of the festivities. Bring on the Christmas cheer, and enjoy your outside deck!
