Shopping for deck furniture is almost as fun as planning an outdoor living space. There are so many things to consider; do you want a fire pit? Where will the grill go? What colors do you like? What materials will look the best?

A lot of people are using Pinterest to get ideas and inspiration for how they’ll be decorating their deck or patio this year. Pinterest is an online collection of photos.  Every user gets to create multiple “boards” which can be likened to a bulletin board. Photos are “pinned” for easy lookup later on and each photo is linked to a website that uses the photo as an illustration. Often, these are in DIY projects or online catalogs.

Deck Ideas and Furniture

Amberlee Ederington of Arkansas has compiled a collection of over 215 beautiful photos of deck furniture. In addition to outdoor furniture ideas, her collection has great ideas for planters and DIY projects to make your deck more inviting. She has an eye for color and texture, with ideas for upcycling pallets, rehabilitating tired concrete and beautiful lighting concepts.

Outside, Decks, Furniture, Lawn Ornaments

This board is curated by Emily Woodby from Tennessee. She is drawn to quirky and inexpensive patio furniture and outdoor decor that’s classy and made of unconventional materials. She has quite a few amazing tree houses in this collection, too.

Patio Lights

This one is automatically generated from a search for patio lights.  There are several boards listed here with different ideas for making patio lighting and for hanging string lights. There are ideas for using glow-in-the dark paint that recharges in the sunshine as well as ideas for temporary party lighting using glow sticks.

Beautify the Patio

This board is filled with garden decor ideas, for both veggie gardens and urban decks. The pins found here tend to be kid friendly and colorful, with a combination of purchased and repurposed items.

 Outdoor Furniture and More

It would be completely silly to not mention that we’re on Pinterest, too. We have boards dedicated to outdoor furniture, outdoor grills,  fireplaces and more backyard lifestyle topics.
