Denise's Retreat

I have a deck that I stained a chocolate color. I think I'd try decorating with giraffe print cushions and accent with red umbrella, pillows, etc. The pictures attached are not the best but will update when finished. Any ideas as to what else I can do to make it more feel more homey, romantic and welcoming? I have a lamp post and lights on one side. As far as plants go, this deck gets sun all day long. No shade at all. Your ideas and suggestions are welcome.
