44 Amazing Ideas For Your Backyard Patio and Deck Space

This winter seems to be taking forever to switch over, especially since we’ve been dumped with more snow than I can remember. Many of us in northern climates feel the same way, desperate for summer, or even weather in the upper 50’s! I’m looking forward to transforming our backyard into a serene space. The main area of focus is a deck or patio that is great for relaxing and entertaining. Here is a collection of ideas I have. Some of the spaces and pools may not be realistic, but bits and pieces are. This is what inspires me. Oh, and if you are looking for a reputable company to make these dreams come true, I would recommend a company like Imperial Building & Roofing Co Inc.

Nautical Door Knocker Inspiration

After you see this nautical door knocker inspiration post, one things for certain, you won’t need to search on Pinterest or Google images for the right coastal door knocker, because I already did that for you (unless you’re looking for ultra tacky door knockers). I first saw coastal door knockers at my favorite local getaway, Castle Hill Inn, in Newport RI. Their stunning cottages feature coastal colors and solid wood doors, with VERY noticeable door knockers. Each door has a different knocker, many of which are below. It’s tough to choose which one looks best, especially because you want to make sure they’re not too tacky!
