You might not have been planning a reno, but you are now.

You can't just put a table and chairs out there and call it a day. There's a whole lot more you can do to your deck, whether you want a full-on overhaul (new flooring or rails, for example), or just want some decor inspo. These amazing decks will help get you started. Spoiler: You're probably going to want to start with string lights.
Boho Deck
Turn your deck into a boho oasis with a patterned rug, plants, candles, and a cozy throw. Then obviously, you're going to need some string lights.
Tile
It's unexpected, but this deck is proof that tile >>> wood. It cleans easier, and looks insanely fun and colorful.
Tropical Deck
No matter where you live, you can feel like you're in the tropics. Paint your deck rails white, opt for rattan furniture, add a seagrass rug, and a potted palm. We can practically feel the island breeze.
Greenery Deck
Feel like you're in the jungle (minus the gross humidity and disgusting bugs) by filling your deck with all the potted plants.
Painted Deck
If you have a beach house, you need to paint your deck blue and white striped. Add bistro chairs and a croquet set and we're done for.
Hanging Chair
A hanging chair? String lights? Pendants? Died and gone to deck heaven.
Swing
This is the spot literally everyone will be fighting you for on your deck. Now all you need is a cocktail.
Southwestern Deck
Cacti for days. Fill your deck with varying shapes and sizes of cactus for a rustic, Southwestern feel.
Comfy Deck
If you want to feel like your deck is your second living room, plush seating, ottomans, cozy pillows and throws, and an area rug are a must.
Eclectic Deck
The colorful stairs are cool, but we're all about that hammock. Reaxation station!
