* Research financing opportunities. As with other significant purchases for the home, it's possible to obtain special financing on a variety of outdoor living products - including decking, railing, lighting and furniture.
* Choose the right decking materials. Wood-alternative decking offers superior durability and beauty at an affordable price point. Available in many nature-inspired colors that never requires sanding, staining or painting because food and drink spills wash off easily with just soap and water.
* Dress up your deck. Even if your budget is tight, add vibrant throw pillows or tropical flowers and plants as quick and colorful pick-me-ups. If you enjoy entertaining outdoors, incorporate bright and bold tableware or vases into your dining area - or set out a few pieces of comfortable, durable outdoor furniture with all-weather cushions in eye-catching fabrics. Finally, consider installing dimmable LED deck lighting. Not only will it add ambience and security to your outdoor living space, but its energy-efficiency also may reduce your electricity bills.
