Get Creative Decorating with Tarps

Decorating with tarps sounds a bit primitive, but if you consider the amazing advancements tarps have made over the last few decades, you'll find beautiful, unique ways to enhance any outdoor living space. Tarps are no longer facets of utility. Instead, gorgeous new tarp styles have become upscale accessories coveted by the most high-style yet practical home décor enthusiasts.

Decorate with sun shade sails

Sun shade sails are artistic outdoor coverings that look exquisite but also provide unmatched real-world utility. These gorgeous canopies come in a huge variety of colors, shapes and sizes, all of which offer a truly unique, geometric overhead covering that will draw the eyes upward. Forego the traditional dull canopy and instead double- or triple-up on a lovely triangle shade tarp sail to create an amazingly intriguing in-air sculpture.

Choose a shade tarp to cover your patio, pool, porch or entrance-way. These breathable tarps are made from a tight weave, poly mesh fabric that blocks up to 90 percent of harmful UV rays, making them a great way to keep your green space cool and safe throughout the warm-weather months. Configure your sun sails to your precise outdoor space with triangle or square sun shade sails that match your home's color scheme.

Other ways to decorate with tarps include using a tan or black mesh tarp to create a stylish privacy fence surrounding the perimeter of your property, taking your sun shade sails indoors to complement high or vaulted ceilings, creating uniquely shaped canopy covers outdoors that feature one or two-peak tops and using waterproof tarps to create a sound base for an outdoor fountain or koi pond. No matter your precise landscaping or exterior décor vision, a tarp can go a long way toward helping you achieve your goals.
