As the warmer months approach, the allure of spending time outdoors grows stronger. A deck offers the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment spaces, but how can you ensure yours stands out in the neighborhood? In this blog post, G.M. Roth Design Remodeling shares seven deck ideas to consider.
- Multi-Level Deck Design. Embrace a multi-level deck to break the monotony of a flat outdoor space. Multilevel designs make it easy to create distinct areas for dining, lounging and entertaining. Furthermore, you get both visual appeal and functionality.
- Built-In Seating and Storage Solutions. Incorporating built-in seating and storage into your deck design adds both beauty and practicality. Benches that double as storage units make things easy to tidy up by hiding away outdoor cushions, toys and gardening tools.
- Innovative Railing Designs. Railings are mandatory for safety, but they also present an opportunity to inject style into your deck. Experiment with materials like glass for unobstructed views or sleek metal for a modern twist.
- Lighting Options. Proper lighting can transform your deck into an enchanting space after dark. Consider various lighting options, such as stair riser lights for safety, under-rail lights for subtle ambiance and accent lights to showcase architectural features or plants. You can also use smart LED options to offer the convenience of adjusting settings to match the mood or occasion.
- Green Oasis. Integrating planters and green spaces into your deck design brings life and color. Opt for built-in planters to maintain a cohesive look or use strategically placed pots to add vibrancy and texture. Native plants often thrive with minimal care, so it won’t be a huge problem to maintain.
- Outdoor Kitchen or Bar. For those who love to entertain, an outdoor kitchen or bar is a must-have. This feature turns your deck into the heart of summer barbecues and cocktail parties. Equip it with a grill, a mini-fridge and ample counter space to make outdoor cooking and entertaining a breeze.
- Privacy Features. Need more privacy in your outdoor space? Privacy screens or lush landscaping around your deck guarantee seclusion and comfort. Make your space cozy for reading or even for hot tub bathing with trellises covered with climbing plants or stylish privacy panels.
