Happy Holidays! For this holiday season, we want to give you ideas on how to decorate your gazebo for any holiday party you may have. Space Makers Sheds' gazebos allow for versatility in design, giving you the opportunity to decorate your gazebo for any holiday you celebrate. Our rectangle and dodecagon gazebos are perfect for hosting parties. Here are some ideas to decorate your gazebo for Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving.
Christmas
Christmas is a wonderful holiday to decorate for, as there are many different routes to take. To decorate your gazebo for Christmas, you can opt for a classic style, winter wonderland theme, or transform the gazebo into a gingerbread house.
Classic Christmas
For a classic Christmas theme, we want to stick with the classic decorations. By this time of year all the trees have lost their leaves, so bring some green into the space with garland and wreaths. Use Christmas lights to brighten the space, using white lights to keep it simple, or rainbow-colored lights to be more festive. Poinsettia flowers are common decorations around Christmas, use them in your gazebo to bring some good holiday cheer. If you live in an area where temperatures get below freezing around Christmas, use fake poinsettias outside so they won’t decay.
Winter Wonderland
To decorate your gazebo with a Winter Wonderland theme, use the colors light blue and white to give an icy feel to the space. There may even be snow on the ground already, a Winter Wonderland theme would elevate your White Christmas. Use fake snowflakes and icicles to give depth to the snow on the ground or create an atmosphere of snow if you live in a warm climate. Use glittery garland to add sparkle to the space, creating an illusion of fallen snow. If you want to add more sparkle, use twinkling Christmas lights in the gazebo to create a glowing atmosphere perfect for a cozy winter. If you live in a colder climate, install heaters or use blankets in your gazebo to keep yourself and your guests warm.
Gingerbread House
If your gazebo is brown, transform it into a gingerbread house for Christmas. Decorate your gazebo how you would a gingerbread house - icing details around the trim of the gazebo, and candy for detailed decorations. Get some white garland to resemble the icing along the edges, and get large fake gumdrops, lollipops, and peppermint candies to decorate inside. Use red and white ribbons to create candy cane details. You can use the fake candy on the railings and posts of the gazebo to give the gingerbread feel. We build our gazebos with a runoff to ensure that no rain will get inside your gazebo and damage any decorations inside. You could use large rainbow Christmas lights on the roof to give the appearance of candy, providing the detail you want while being waterproof.
Easter
The Lord has Risen! Easter generally falls right after the spring equinox, so this holiday is the perfect time to decorate for spring. Use bright and pastel colors to decorate, bringing a bright atmosphere for the rebirth of spring. Decorate your gazebo with flowers, you can hang flower planter boxes on the railing, using tulips, daffodils, and dahlias. Incorporate Easter motifs into your decor, like egg hunts, bunnies, and butterflies. You can use decorative eggs inside the gazebo by hiding them for a tiny egg hunt or creating wreaths and centerpieces with them. Buy fun outdoor signs or flags that depict the Easter Bunny or opt for simple religious yard signs if you celebrate the Ressurection more than the egg hunts.
Fourth of July
For Independence Day, we’re keeping it all-American. Find any way to incorporate red, white, and blue into your decorations. You can easily find a red, white, or blue umbrella, tablecloth, flower pot, and candle holder at a home goods or home improvement store. In the planter boxes we used for Easter, plant red or white flowers to tie into the theme. Utilize American flags as much as you can, you can hang full-size flags from the roof of your gazebo or get small ones that you can stick in the ground surrounding it. Since Independence Day is in the summer, most parties are hosted outside. Utilize outdoor furniture when decorating your gazebo for guests to use, and tie in Americana-themed decor with pillows and blankets. Finally, to tie everything together, use large white string lights to illuminate the structure when it is dark outside.
Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving, this is the time to embrace the natural elements of autumn and celebrate the harvest. Using a natural fall landscape will give a rustic feel to the space, perfect for Thanksgiving festivities. Decorate your space with classic fall decorations like gourds, seasonal fruit, uncarved pumpkins, and a cornucopia to get you and your guests ready for a feast. You’ll want to use autumnal colors like red, orange, gold, brown, and purple to tie in with the changing leaves around you. Bring an earthly aesthetic to your gazebo with haybales and cornstalks, and use burlap throughout to give the decorations more texture. You can also create natural decorations by using dried leaves and pinecones to make a festive wreath.
