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.
