Choosing a Theme for Your Deck

Having a deck can be a great, relaxing addition to your home. Decks give homeowners a place to wind down and relax while enjoying the outdoors, and also provide a place for entertaining guests during the summer months. But traditional deck decor can be a bit boring when you are trying to create a unique and inviting space.

Choosing a theme for your deck can be a great way to create a space that is truly special. Let’s look at some deck theme ideas that can transform your outdoor space into an oasis you’ll never want to leave.

Location-Based Themes

One easy way to select a theme for your deck is by choosing your decor based off a physical place. Do you love the beach and find it the most relaxing place on earth? Why not incorporate a beach theme into your deck by selecting beach-style furniture and decor? For this type of theme, choose tropical prints on furniture and light blue colors for accents. Partial to the mountains? For a mountain-themed deck you might consider warmer colors and adding some plants to your deck. Wherever you feel most relaxed, consider using that location as the theme for your deck decor.

Color-Based Themes

If a location such as the beach of the mountains feel like too much of a theme, consider instead simply choosing a color and incorporating it throughout the deck. By adding pops of color to the furniture and decor, you can make the deck feel organized and well put together. Even simply adding some greenery or potted flowers can liven the outdoor space dramatically and give it some personality.

Hobby-Based Themes

Are you a big sports fan? An avid sailor? Whatever your hobby is, consider incorporating it into your deck’s theme. If you love sports and tailgating, consider adding sports memorabilia and a freestanding cooler to your deck by your grilling area. Do you love boating? Look for furniture that has a nautical theme and perhaps some lantern lighting that appears as if it was salvaged from a ship at sea. Incorporating your passions into your deck decor will encourage you to spend as much time outside as possible.

Just because your deck is outside rather than inside your home doesn’t mean you can’t style it to fit your taste. Choosing a theme for your deck can be a fun way to make it a more enjoyable space for you and your loved ones.
