Pirate Decor

Ahoy mateys! With warm weather on the horizon, it's about time to start thinking about your swashbuckling summer get-togethers. Whether the sun is high or low, spring and summertime gives you a great reason to break out your sea legs and test the waters -- poolside that is.

Nothing pairs quite as well with a backyard pool party than a cold drink. Even better than a cooler of beers is a full-service outdoor bar that will keep the party going all night long.

Of course, every good bar has a theme. And what's better than one that pays tribute to those who sailed the seven seas with rum in hand: pirates.

With 14% of homeowners report being stressed about home furnishings, it's important to maintain morale both in and out of the office. Even if it's been a rough day, pirate decor and nautical decorations are appropriate for outdoor bars and will surely get your party guests into the spirit. Here's what you need to open a backyard pirate bar:

  1. A nautical wheel: While your nights may get a bit crazy, you have to take hold of the night and keep things under control. Steel your crew into the right direction and make sure that none of your guests are able to steer vehicles of their own.

  2. A life preserver: If one of your friends decides to walk the plank, you might want to jump in and save the day. A life preserver is not only decorative, it is also extremely practical in this setting.

  3. Pirate hats: If you want to play the part, pirate hats are a great way to start. Grab a set for your friends to wear all night. Eye patches are optional.

  4. A nautical clock: Even though it's always five o'clock somewhere, you'll want to check the real time every so often in order to track the ocean currents (or to manage time in general).

  5. Plenty of rum: The official drink of piracy, you're going to want to stock up on some of the strong stuff. The last thing you want during a big party is to run out of alcohol for the crowd, so be sure to stock your bar before it's grand opening.

Again, it's never too early to plan for a summer party. In need of some pirate decor to help decorate? Nautical Decor Store has plenty to work will equipped with flags, plaques, and various other items.
