When the triple digits disappear, and the air turns crisp while the leaves change color, the best way to transition with the season is to transform your outdoor living spaces. Trex Vice President of Marketing Adam Zambanini offers some great advice and Trex solutions to spruce up your deck or outdoor living space this fall.

Change Color Changing colors is a great way to fit the change of season. Start by using natural- and cream-colored furniture that can go with any color. This will help with the transition of the seasons, and the ability to decorate and accessorize for any occasion. Some great fall colors include red, orange, yellow, and neutrals. It’s also a great idea to invest in some knit blankets, candleholders, and glassware to help create a rustic fall feel.  

Use Ambient Lighting Lights are an essential to set the mood for any space! Spruce up your outdoor quarters with some soft and ambient lighting. Switching up your lighting for the change of seasons is easy, with multiple colors and styles that are dimmable and energy efficient. Trex Outdoor Lighting has some great options for any space.

Define your Deck Spaces Make entertaining in your outside areas a breeze by establishing separate areas for grilling, relaxing and socializing.

Conversation Area Use neutral tones furniture accompanied by red, orange and yellow accent pillows to create a cozy conversation area. Use sofas, plush chairs and upholstered ottomans to create a rustic inviting atmosphere.

Eating Area Set up food and drink stations with portable bars and serving carts on your deck. Keep your guests entertained with simple treats like cookies, spiced nuts, and fruits to accompany the warm atmosphere.

Lounging Area Create a lounge area near the pool or fountain, if you have one. A great way to create a more seasonal feel is to use floating decorations in the fountain such as candles, silver lilies, or potted poinsettias. Be sure to also have side tables and many refreshments nearby.
