It might be getting colder and darker outside, but autumn has endless potential when it comes to hosting – especially outdoors. The weather is crisp, and the trees are shades of orange, yellow, and red – the perfect backdrop. Now, we know what you’re thinking: the weather. Yes, that’s something to consider, but you’d be surprised by just how beautiful of a gathering you can pull together outside on your composite or timber decking with just a few minor seasonal adjustments!
Whether you’re planning a festive Halloween get-together or a quiet evening with a couple of friends, a few simple decor ideas can transform your outdoor space into a warm and inviting space perfect for parties of all kinds!
To host the perfect autumn party, make sure your guests stay warm and dry. An easy way to do this is by setting up a gazebo on your decking and adding standing heaters to keep the chill away. You can get all these supplies at your local DIY and garden shop, and they’ll ensure you can use your outdoor space all winter long – not just in autumn.
This way, even if it rains, it adds to the atmosphere. Plus, you won’t have to worry about the cool autumn breeze driving you inside thanks to your heaters. A couple of throws should be all you need to stay cosy and comfortable all night long. There’s nothing better than wrapping up warm and enjoying the fresh autumn air. Now you can stay outside as long as you like!
Every gathering needs a focal point! At a dinner party, this would be the beautifully decorated table while at a Christmas party, it would typically be the tree. At an outdoor autumn party on the other hand, it could be anything you like as long as it’s cosy! You can make your outdoor seating arrangement the centre of the party with some autumn-themed centrepieces or even a tabletop fire pit. Use natural elements like pumpkins, pinecones, or even a small stack of firewood as part of your decor. These pieces have a certain rustic charm, and they tie in beautifully with the autumn theme – even better, you can reuse them all as either firewood or compost so nothing goes to waste!
Now that the sun is setting much earlier than it was this time last month, having the proper lighting makes all the difference. Fairy lights draped overhead or along the railings of your deck can create a soft glow that enhances the comfy atmosphere, while lanterns placed strategically around the area give the place a cosy autumnal touch. For an even more intimate feel, candles are great; we’d say it’s best to use battery-powered ones so you don’t have to worry about them either blowing out with the wind or getting accidentally knocked over. Place them on your table, in clusters around the area and inside your carved pumpkins!
