Our Tortuga Outdoor Holiday Decorating Guide

The holiday season is here once again, and most of us will be looking for ways to celebrate and bring the holiday spirit into, and out of, our homes. While there are various ways of getting into the holiday spirit, few ways will be as lasting and as effective as upgrading your decorative garden furniture pieces.

In this post, we'll explore how Tortuga can help you capture the holiday spirit right in your backyard and bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones, friends, and guests.

Let's dive right in.

The Magic of Special Holiday Decorations

If you have any experience with decorating your home, you will definitely know the difference it can make in your home's atmosphere.

Tortuga outdoor furniture features a wide array of cushions, pillows, chairs, sofas, tables, rocking chairs, coffee tables, and much more that you can order in a variety of colors and patterns to add a touch of festive cheer to any outdoor space. You can tailor your choice of furniture so that it not only reflects the holiday season but that it does so in a way that is unique to your own personality and preferences.

How to Choose the Right Tortuga Outdoor Furniture

Picking out the furniture that best compliments the type of home you have might seem like a challenge, but Tortuga makes it incredibly easy. Thanks to its wide range of options when it comes to the materials, fabrics, metals, and natural woods that go into the production of its furniture, you are sure to find items that match up perfectly with your taste and serve as the base of your garden furniture decorations.

If you're hoping to add wicker patio furniture to your patio, for example, you will have the opportunity to introduce vibrant decorations such as pine trees, green and red cushions, and other colors that go well with the brilliant white wicker pieces as expected. Wicker is a woodsy material that looks great with bright colors, it’s extremely versatile!

Seasonal Decorative Ideas

One of the best things about the holidays is that it gives us a great opportunity to bring family and friends together. There's no better place to hold a festive holiday gathering than a well-furnished garden furniture setting.

Bringing your family and friends out to enjoy a meal together on a Tortuga dining set or outdoor sectional sofas.

You can elevate your decorative efforts to the next level by installing light fixtures that highlight the furniture and decorative touches you have installed there.

Decorating outdoor spaces is an entirely different endeavor when compared to decorating your home's interior. While both require good taste and a selection of decorations and furniture, most people have little experience with outdoor garden furnishing. The holidays are a great time to explore the creative side of your decorative options!

Here are some of our favorite festive decorating touches:

• adding festive lights
• plenty of holiday greenery
• bright colors of any varity to match the holiday aesthetic (tradionational, whimisical, vibrant etc.)

Using Furniture as Decorative Elements

Tortuga Furniture offers you some extraordinary decorative options since we have an array of furniture items that can double up as decorative pieces on their own. We offer throws, cushions, pillows, and other pieces of furniture that can contribute a splash of festive color to your patio furniture.

You can buy these items separately from the main furniture sets to mix things up. You can take the opportunity to mix and match different designs, fabrics, and patterns such that your main furniture pieces serve as blank canvas or foundations for your more decorative pieces.

Weather-Resistant Decorative Ideas

We all feel a little bit sad when we're forced to take down our wilting holiday decorations. Once the season has passed and we have to face the new year, we all wish we could have a few more days of festivities.

Outdoor garden decorations are notoriously short-lived due to their exposure to the elements. Sunshine, wind, rain, and snow will all have a weathering effect on your garden furniture and decorations.

Tortuga outdoor furnishings are made out of the highest-quality materials that make them durable and weatherproof. All Tortuga decorations and furniture are made out of rust-resistant metal, durable fabrics, long-lasting wicker, and natural hardwood that is specially treated to last a lifetime.

All of these materials are designed to maintain their vibrancy, colors, and luxurious finishes so that you always feel happy spending time in your outdoor garden.

Hosting Outdoor Holiday Gatherings

As we mentioned earlier, the holidays are an excellent time to host your family, friends, and neighbors at home. The beauty of hosting get-togethers in an outdoor patio or garden is that you have endless flexibility with regard to the theme or setup you choose.

You can decide to have a holiday brunch in the backyard, a big dinner on a Tortuga outdoor dining set, or a cocktail party while relaxing on a Tortuga wicker lounge set. During the cold holiday season, you can warm up by settling down on single chairs around a gorgeous outdoor fire pit.

Safety Considerations for this Holiday Season

Even as you plan to enjoy your holidays, it's always important that you keep the safety of your family, friends, and yourself at the top of your mind, especially if you have little children around. There are three main elements of home safety that you must keep in mind, including:

Electrical safety: Should you have electrical holiday decorations in your outdoor garden, you'll need to pay special attention to the connections and wiring you've made. Ensure that connections and outlets are out of children's reach and that they are safe from water hazards.

Fire safety: Streamers, ribbons, candles, fire pits, and any other flammable materials or fire sources should be closely monitored at all times. While Tortuga decorations and furnishings are highly durable and fire-resistant, you might have some decorative pieces around that might serve as sources of heat that might get out of control. Having a fire extinguisher close at hand is possible for your safety.

Physical safety: Because some decorations might only be put up during the holidays in anticipation of being taken down after the season, they might not be fixed securely. The danger here might arise from unsuspecting people tampering with them and causing them to fall on people. Be sure that every decoration is tightly secured.

Final Thoughts

The holiday season can provide you with the opportunity to get the maximum enjoyment from your garden furniture, especially if you take the time to decorate it for the season. There are few feelings more special than bringing smiles to the faces of your friends, family, and loved ones when you take the time to make their holiday special.
