Decks can be an excellent place to host barbeques, birthdays, lunch or dinner parties during the winter, though it may take a little more effort to ensure that you and your guests are comfortable. In addition to outdoor heaters, comfortable furniture, and extra blankets, you should also consider adding color to brighten the appearance of your deck—even in the dreariest winter months. 

You can easily add color usingfurniture, plants, rugs, and even screening. A well-done deck can significantly increase the value of your home and enhance its overall appearance.

Here are a few ways you can add color to your wintery deck.

Containers

Dressing up your deck can be as simple as adding a few containers. The areas along the railings that are flat can be lined with flower pots; you can choose brightly colored flowers that stand out or you can add subtle hints of color here and there.

Cold-Hardy Plants

Cold winter weather should not deter you from incorporating plants on your deck. There are many plants that thrive in cold weather, also known as cold-hardy plants. They are available in various bloom and foliage colors, shapes, sizes, and textures. You have many different options to choose from and this is an easy way to add color to your deck.

Screening

Screening will create a barrier that conveniently hides what you do not want to see. Set up attractive structures that make use of complimentary materials and transform your deck’s view. Small-slat screens also add aesthetic appeal and a unique pattern, which in turn gives your deck a whole new appearance without much work.

Rugs

Outdoor rugs can be a stylish addition to your deck as well as a practical one. The best thing about rugs is that they can be found in many different styles, fitting everyone’s individual taste. Not only will a rug add color to your deck, but it will also give the entire deck a more “homey” feeling and can even keep you and your guests warmer by creating a soft, warm barrier between your feet and the cold floor.

Furniture

Furniture, including tables that are low to the ground, gives your guests a comfortable place to relax and chat with one another. You can insert your creative side here by choosing furniture colors that will stand out and complete the overall look of your deck.
