Adding a deck can transform your backyard into a haven of rest and relaxation, providing the ideal spot to curl up cozily with a book, sip tea at sunset with your sweetheart, or host family and friends for an unforgettable night of food and fun.
Imagine how rich life can be when you share it with others from the comfort of your own backyard deck. With seasonal events—like summer sizzling grilled kabobs, or a chilly fall gathering around your firepit—you’re sure to celebrate life even more with the beautiful backdrop of the outdoors.
Design an Outdoor Oasis to Enjoy with Others
1. Enhance your outdoor living experiences.
There are countless ways to enjoy a new deck. From savory cookouts at sunset to quiet morning moments alone, your deck will enhance your life. Fresh air, sunshine, and smiles are all part of what you can anticipate when you plan a custom deck design with your unique needs in mind. Include interesting features—like a multi-tiered deck design—to add versatility to its use. Add lighting to increase the time you get to spend on your deck and craft a welcoming atmosphere after sunset.
2. Create unforgettable memories with family and friends.
Designate family fun nights where you break out the board games, cards, or cornhole, providing a lively focal point to your deck parties. Prep and serve meals from the comfort of your backyard deck by including an outdoor kitchen and grilling area. With counter space for food prep, outdoor cabinets for storage, and a small sink and refrigerator built into your deck, you’ll be all set for an evening of delicious food and unforgettable fun.
3. Connect with nature.
There’s something about spending time outside that refreshes the soul! Your deck will offer added ways you can connect with nature and be refreshed. Add a bird feeder, and position deck seating to view nature’s scenery from your backyard. Include a pop of color with potted vibrant flowers to bring cheer to your space. Integrate natural elements into your deck décor with furniture and decking material choices.
4. Enrich your lifestyle.
Design a peaceful space on your deck where you can unwind after a long day. Add a hammock for relaxation, create an exercise area for stretching, and include plump colorful pillows to bring a welcoming, cozy feel to your deck furnishings. Build a fresh herb garden for visual appeal and culinary delight. Take more time to leisurely dine outdoors on your new deck.
5. Increase your property value.
A well-designed deck adds to your property value, delivering a return on your investment when it comes time to sell. Potential buyers will be attracted to the inviting outdoor living space you crafted, so realize a new deck isn’t just appealing to you—it’s appealing to potential home buyers.
6. Heighten your backyard’s aesthetics.
An attractive deck adds beauty to your entire backyard. This extension of your home should be designed with cohesion in mind. After all, when you open your house to guests, your indoor/outdoor living space merges into one where people move about fluidly during gatherings.
Add style to your deck with an attractive railing feature; coordinate outdoor furniture to complement indoor furniture; and arrange your deck layout so you can enjoy your landscaping from indoors and outdoors.
7. Include your favorite features on your backyard deck.
Include a firepit to enhance your enjoyment of clear fall nights. Add a hot tub for year-round relaxation. Include built-in seating to maximize the space on your deck and accommodate more people when you host parties. Divide your deck into functional areas like cooking, eating, lounging, games, and more.
Customize your outdoor living space
Attached decks are not the only way to expand your outdoor living space. Detached decks (a floating or freestanding deck is separate from your house) look great near a garden or pool. Custom decks can also be multi-tiered, two story, curved, or wraparound. There are so many options!
