With December 25th rapidly approaching, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas once again across the UK.

From flashing fairy lights and tacky tinsel to inflatable snowmen and ornate LED reindeer, people across the nation are showing off their Christmas spirit by decorating their homes with all the trimmings.

If you’re thinking of sprucing up your outside space this year, why leave your decking out in the cold? Get your deck in on the action by incorporating a little colour this festive season.

To help you transform your decking area into your very own winter wonderland, here are a few Christmas colour combinations to get you started.

 

Brown Deck

Perhaps the most popular decking colour in the UK, the natural browns of traditional wood-look decking lend themselves extremely well to a variety of Christmas colours.

In fact, three of the most festive colours that are synonymous with the Christmas period are green, red and gold – all of which work perfectly with natural woody browns.

If you have opted for a traditional brown-coloured deck, a combining two or more of these three colours is a sure-fire way to inject some Christmas spirit into your decking area.

Meanwhile, for a more sophisticated vibe, the combination of green with rustic copper tones blend well with the browns of the deck to provide a natural, autumnal finish.

For a more unusual combination, white and brown can also work surprisingly well, providing your space with a unique and memorable festive design.

 

Grey Deck

An increasingly common colour scheme in UK gardens, grey-coloured decking is a popular option for those seeking a contemporary solution to their outdoor design.

As luck would have it, this colour decking works extremely well with a wide variety of cool and unusual festive colours to provide you with an outdoor décor that truly stands out from the crowd over the Christmas period.

To ensure your decking decoration leaves a lasting impression on your friends, family and neighbours, why not adorn your grey deck with complimenting shades of purple? To take that colourful experimentation a step further, bright pinks also work surprisingly well.

For a more traditional look, reds and silvers work well together to give your deck a more conventional festive feel, while adorning your decking area with gold is also a great ay to bring classic Christmas appeal to your outside space.

 

White Deck

Much like the grey option, the illuminating brightness of white decking works particularly well with festive reds; however, it also lends itself to a whole host of other colours as well.

To create a colder, more wintry ambience, why not decorate your white decking area with a blue colour scheme to bring an icy theme to your outside space.

For a more colourful décor, why not meet in the middle of red and blue and light up your white decking with a touch of purple?

Meanwhile, if you’re looking to take a classier approach, white and gold never fail to work cohesively. Alternatively, for a stylish monochrome finish, black is the perfect yin to your deck surface’s yang.

For the ultimate decadent décor, why not combine the two for a bewitching black and gold garnish that’s guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

When the calendar turns to winter and the British summertime retreats to its holiday home in the southern hemisphere, Brits naturally follow suit and retreat from their gardens to spend considerably more time indoors.

However, limiting the usage of your outdoor space to the summer months is not only doing your garden a serious disservice, but it also deprives you of a substantial amount of outdoor enjoyment at the same time.

With a garden room from AlfrescoPlus, you can enjoy the outdoors all year round - including the wintertime - allowing you to experience the peaceful, natural serenity of your outdoor space, whatever the weather.

Garden Rooms in the Winter

While they may be commonly referred to as “sunrooms”, garden rooms aren’t strictly reserved for summertime enjoyment and warm, sunny days.

British weather normally takes a chilly turn post-September, growing increasingly chilly from there on out. As a result, gardens become an afterthought and remain largely vacant for months to come.

However, with an AlfrescoPlus garden room, such a thermal curfew isn’t required. In fact, inside the confines of these sheltered sanctuaries, you set your own curfew and are free to enjoy the wintry ambience at your leisure.

Sheltered from the elements, our garden rooms allow you to soak up the winter scenery in the comfort of the indoors, providing the perfect blend of the best of both worlds.

Are Garden Rooms Warm in Winter?

Naturally, the winter weather typically brings with it chilly temperatures and a frosty climate that can put your outdoor plans on ice in an instant. As such, knowing that your garden room is up to the task is a common concern of many considering a garden room purchase.

Unlike a traditional veranda, garden rooms are fully enclosed to shield you from the elements, providing considerably more insulation than the open design of a veranda. However, we also offer a range of additional heating options for you to keep your garden room warm and toasty regardless of how active Jack Frost may be outside.

 

Heating Your Garden Room

We currently have three distinctly different remote-controlled 2kW heating options for garden rooms, including a heating and speaker combo with Bluetooth technology. With one of these, you can enjoy the festive scenery with an equally festive soundtrack in pure indoor comfort.

Meanwhile, we also offer additional draught seals for the ultimate protection against the cold, turning your winter garden room into a cosy homely hideaway. A combination of both can make your garden room the perfect venue for a truly memorable winter and magical Christmas period.
