Looking to upgrade your back yard? Well we've got 6 simple deck designs, but built in beautifully landscaped yards. These decks aren't just about functionality; they're about creating a vibe, a mood. Imagine stepping out to a space that blends seamlessly with the outdoors, where the boundaries between inside and outside blur. A place for morning coffees or to have dinner outdoors. These decks all use simple landscaping materials such as pavers, stone & rock to incorporate your deck into your yard by building pathways and garden beds around the deck itself. When using TuffBlock deck blocks, you can build the deck portion in a matter of hours when the deck itself is a simple rectangle. But when blended into the yard with some simple landscaping tricks, it elevates it to a whole new level. Hopefully these inspire you and get you thinking about how you could transform your own yard! This first deck shows how you can build out from your home to create a patio deck, and extend the living space in your house. This type of deck is perfect for an outdoor living area. Think about using stones around the deck to frame it. The symetrical plants at either corner of the deck along with the L shaped couch make this a perfect place to sit and enjoy the outdoors that leads perfect out to your garden. This type of deck is also perfect in winter where the stone and paved pathway allow you to stay out of the mud whilst still using the space. This deck is similar, but is floating in the yard as a stand alone platform. A floating deck platform is a great place to have dinner during warm summer nights. Adding pavers to your lawn is a great way to connect the deck to the house, and the gravel/stone around the deck is great for hiding the deck blocks under the deck. This deck is built into the garden bed at the end of the yard. The pathway connects is seamlessly to the house, and allows you to sit in your yard whilst enjoying the nature around you. A two toned deck is always a nice touch. A floating ground deck is perfect for a bbq and inviting friends over for a feast! Building on a slope yard? Well TuffBlock allows you to build using posts at various heights for a deck like this. Consider creating a bench as part of your floating deck for an extra place to sit. You can also build a firepit next to your deck to warm you up in the evenings! We hope these six stunning examples of floating decks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to embark on your own backyard transformation. Each deck, with its unique blend of simplicity and style, demonstrates how when using deck blocks, like TuffBlock, a single day's effort building a floating deck can result in a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. Whether it's a cozy corner for your morning coffee or a spacious platform for social gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Now it's your turn to bring these ideas to life! Grab your tools, choose your design, and start building. Remember, the beauty of these decks lies not just in their construction, but in how they harmoniously integrate with the natural landscape of your yard. We can't wait to see the incredible spaces you create, transforming your outdoor areas into personal havens of relaxation and joy. Happy building!

Many people love outdoor Christmas decorations with inflatable snowmen, candy canes lining the driveway, cartoon character yard signs, and a ridiculous amount of colorful Christmas lights. If you prefer more classic, classy, and understated Christmas outdoor decorations, here are a few ideas to give your yard a festive Christmas look without going overboard. Moderation is KeyDecorate your front yard in moderation for a sophisticated look. Do not try to win the prize for the most lights or decorations in your neighborhood. Understated that a small amout of classic Christmas decor is sophisticated. You should still decorate your yard to be festive and well-lit, however consider your front yard Christmas decorations to be an extension of your home's inside Christmas decorations. If you don't decorate with cartoon characters inside your home, then you probably shouldn't decorate with cartoon characters outside your home. White or Clear Lights OnlyOnly use small white lights in your outside Christmas display for elegant appeal. Multi-colored lights tend to look juvenile. Medium sized or really large lights also look less sophisticated unless viewed from a distance or mixed with lights of different sizes for a textural look. Do not use blinking or flashing Christmas lights, however a subtle twinkle is not too bad. Just a few strands of lights here and there are a very nice classic touch. Make sure to know the color temperature of your lights since some lights give off a warm or yellow light while others give off a cool or blue light. Try to stick to either warm or cool, but don't mix them else it can look weird. WreathsWreaths are a classic touch as long as they are not over done. Add a colorful bow to your wreath that ties into the overall color scheme of your Christmas yard decor. Red bows or red tartan bows are a classic Christmas favorite. Hanging a wreath on the door is a very traditional Christmas decoration, however also consider hanging a wreath on each of your windows or one large wreath at the peak of your home. You can use real fruit, pine cones, or flowers to decorate your wreath. If viewed from a distance, feel free to go with a very large wreath #ad to make it the focal point of your outdoor Christmas decor. Feel free to use either a fresh wreath or an artificial one. GreenerySurround your door with greenery for a classic Christmas display. The most popular greeneries to use during Christmas time are magnolia leaves, cypress, pine, eucalyptus, cedar, spruce, hemlock, and juniper. Live greenery works best to create an inviting fragrance and a classic look, however feel free to use high quality artificial greenery #ad if using a large quantity or if you are decorating for Christmas more than 2 weeks in advance. Another popular way to use greenery is to wrap columns with it or place it along the top of a fence. CandlesConsider adding candles or candle-looking battery powered lights to all of your window sills that face your front yard for a sophisticated look, or at least the upstairs window sills for a sophisticated look. The candles will light up the exterior of the whole house with a warm glow. You can also line your driveway with battery powered or solar candles in lanterns #ad for an elegant glow to your Christmas decorations. Make sure that all candles and lanterns are placed in a location where they will not get kicked, bumped, or knocked over. You Might Also Like

The best linen is produced in Ireland, Belgium and some other European countries. Our 'LINON' Linen Fabric is soft and perfect for Clothing: Summer clothing, skirts, dresses, Blouses, Shirts Homeware and Crafts: Patchwork, Quilting, home accessories and embroidery. Material: 100% Linen Width approx.: 150 cm Colour: White Weight: 125 g/square meter Oxygen bleached Not pre-washed Expected Shrinkage: 10% Wash: 60-90 degrees Celsius ______________________________________________ Environment: Linen can be expensive, but it is also much better for the environment. Flax plants are very resilient, they can grow in poor soil, and require very little water. What’s more, every single part of the flax plant is then used in making all types of products, from linen clothing to varnishes. Health: Similar to silk, 100% linen is wonderful for people with sensitive skin and those prone to allergic reactions like "prickly heat" in hot weather. For women who suffer from "hot flushes", 100% linen is the most comfortable answer in warm environments. Care: Linen can't and shouldn't be ironed. The creasing is part of the natural allure. The creasing also molds the garment, and in practice the more creasing there is, the less evident it becomes as the whole garment softens. Linen loves being washed and dries much quicker than Cotton. The more it is worn and washed the softer the fabric becomes. It also lasts much longer than cotton, as it is harder wearing and a much stronger material. ______________________________________
