Dreamy Deck Decor

Dreamy Deck Decor

8 years ago
A lot of my career as a photographer has been spent shooting some of the world’s most beautiful beaches (I know—talk about a dream job!). And along with the crystal clear waters and sugary white sand; beach chairs, umbrellas, and beachgoers are a huge part of my work. From pink umbrellas in Miami to boogie boarders dotting the Kauai coastline, I love the contrast that these pops of colors create against the sand or water. But alas, not everyday can be a beach day (as much as I’d like it to be!). So on days when I’m caught up at the office, I always try to squeeze in at least a few minutes of al fresco R&R on my patio. Especially now that summer is only days away, it’s time to spruce up your deck and make your patio your own little private paradise. Whether you have a big yard or a tiny balcony, you can set up a little outdoor oasis that will make you feel like you’re sunning in Santorini. All it takes is the right patio furniture and a summer state of mind. Here are fouroutdoor décor ideas inspired by my prints to get you started…
