Your deck is a true extension of your home and should be treated as nothing less than a comfortable living space. When decorating your deck, aim to make it a private living space that offers some seclusion from your neighbors while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors. Follow these easy, economical steps to infuse a sense of style and privacy on your deck:
- Create an artistic privacy wall made of art deco glass patio blocks joined by clear caulk. The blocks will create a barrier between you and your neighbors while still allowing natural light to shine through.
- Install a visually striking pergola on your deck. For added color and texture, grace the pergola with hanging baskets or climbing vines.
- Build planters around the perimeter of your deck to hold seasonal blooms or even fresh herbs.
- Plant evergreen trees around your deck, which can block any view and even help filter noise. Evergreens even come in small varieties that can be easily potted and placed on your deck surface.
- Install a retractable awning to offer shade and block second-story neighbor views.
- Separate your space by hanging all-weather fabrics, sheers, or bamboo blinds from a screen or curtain rod around the perimeter of your deck.
