Summer isn’t here yet but preparing for it beforehand is a good idea, especially if we are talking of outdoor spaces. If you have a deck and wanna give it a fresh summer-like look but don’t know where to start, we have cool and easy tips for you to consider. Take a look!
Decide On A Color Scheme
A color scheme gives your space a cohesive look, allows you to quickly gather everything you need and put it to work in the space. As it’s summer, try bold and fresh colors or at least go neutrals with bright accents – turquoise, pink, green, yellow, orange. If you love colors, boldly rock various shades creating an eclectic or boho chic look, mix them with prints to achieve a bright space.

Furniture
Rattan and wicker furniture will bring a relaxed feel to the space but you ma actually use lots of various furniture you like. Forged furniture will serve you for years, buy it in a neutral color to match various decor ideas. Wooden furniture never goes out of style and it can be easily DIYed by you yourself. Don’t buy lots of stuff for every season or year – it will clutter all the space you have. Try to incorporate the furniture you have into your summer deck decor – it will be a cool challenge and will make you creative.
