- Paint your deck in a shade of red or green for a bright pop of color. Go rustic with a brick shade of red or retro with a bright lime green. Paint is the primary way you can incorporate red and green into your deck color scheme. If you're looking for a deck that brings together both red and green, consider painting a red or green base and adding a wide, elegant edging in the opposite color. Another option would be to paint the deck in alternating stripes of red and green.
- Choose patio furniture that reflects your key colors. Invest in wooden patio sets that can be painted in your choice of shades of red or green or opt for wicker or plastic furniture with cushions in red or green or a print that features those colors. If you already have patio furniture in other colors, have them reupholstered with red or green fabric.
- If you can't paint your deck or you have a limited budget for new deck furniture, add touches of red or lime green into your deck space with the use of accessories. Lanterns, ceramic sculptures and coolers in your chosen colors are all items that can give your deck character. Set up wooden planters painted lime green that hold plants with red foliage or flowers.
- Awnings or curtains can be used to accent your chosen color scheme of red or lime green. Add a red and lime green striped awning or set up deck curtains that feature these colors. These pieces are also functional and will allow you to entertain during extreme heat, rain or other inclement weather.
