Why We Love Deck Decor! (And You Should Too!)

Living in California Isn't Always Easy...But For The Most Part It Is!

Warm temperatures, clear blue skies and summer days are ahead....what more than to enjoy them by relaxing on your new deck. Being able to take advantage of outdoor living is what I love most about this city.

Our New Listing in the heart of Bird Rock by the Sea in La Jolla inspired this post, the fabulous deck of this property has ocean views! SEE IT HERE

San Diego is most predictable for its beautiful climate. Have you been dreaming of an outdoor lounging area for reading, writing or hanging with friends? For ultimate enjoyment here are some quick tips on what to consider while making over your deck.

Things to Consider for a Deck Makeover

Outdoor Lighting

Lighting is a good way to highlight a specific element or area. While lighting can be placed anywhere, some places are a must: paths, walkways, entries, driveways, decks and patios. 

QUICK TIP: When picking out your exterior light fixtures pay attention to the key architectural features of your home and coordinate the two. 

Patio Furniture | Outdoor Rugs

Your patio furniture sets the tone for the type of hangout you desire while providing function and comfort. If you have a dining table you are more likely to eat meals outdoors...lounge chairs and couches provide an outdoor entertainment vibe. Add a rug and seamlessly extend your indoor living to the outdoor spaces.

QUICK TIP: Invest in weather resistant furniture that will go the long haul. Plan for how you want your space to feel and buy items that are functional. 

Patio Accessories

Transform your outdoor space to suit your personal lifestyle. Love gathering with friends and family? You might want to consider a fire pit. Love having cocktail parties with your girls? You might consider a cool bar cart and comfortable seating. Ideas for patio accessories:

• Colorful Accents - Revitalize with bright pops of color
• Potted Plants - Did you know plants can make your brain work better?!?
• Lattice - Add a lattice wall to one side of the deck to create the illusion of a wall
• Water Features - Create a peaceful environment with the tranquil sounds of water
• Fire Bowl or Fire Pit - A great way to extend your party space to the outdoors. 

So what do you think? Are you ready to re-decorate your patio or deck spaces?
