This summer, you can take advantage of the nice weather by hanging out on your deck. You can cook and dine outdoors, or even invite guests over.
In this post, Empire Roofing & More, one of the area’s top roofers, discusses ways you can decorate your deck for summer.
Lighting
Creative lighting can significantly improve how your deck looks. String lights and lanterns look beautiful throughout the day. Use at least two strands of string lights or hanging outdoor lanterns with decorative bulbs. Add more dimension to your space by hanging the lights at different levels. Creating rows of lights above your deck can also make your deck look more magical.
Shade
Shade will give a nice touch to your deck, especially if you have an open space. Place it directly on the decking or create a lounging station on the grass by laying down rugs and cushions. Choose an umbrella that contrasts with the color of the surroundings and furnishings. A bright blue, orange or pink umbrella is a nice accent to a deck that’s dominated by browns and greens.
Empire Roofing & More is counted among one of the top roofers in PA, not just because we do roofs. We can also help you create a functional and beautiful deck. Our team can also help you choose stylish outdoor furniture and equipment for your deck.
Greenery
Make your deck feel brighter and livelier by placing a mix of various trailing planters. You can hang flower baskets on the rafters or planter boxes on the railing. Also, you can have creeping vines climb up trellises instead of hanging down. Consider adding a trailing plant in front of your planter so you can get upward and downward blooms.
