Deck Design Ideas

Interiorlike Design

A covered outdoor living room feels like an extension of the house thanks to cushioned outdoor furniture and a contemporary outdoor fireplace. Skylights over the fireplace keep the area bright and filled with natural light.

Alfresco Dining

The two-tiered design welcomes backyard views and casual gatherings. A teak top dining table with a metal base stays true to the deck's clean, modern design, while seasonal greens and contemporary pottery create an inviting tablescape.

Bring the Indoors Out

With today's sturdy outdoor fabrics and wide selection of outdoor furniture, you can make your patio or deck as comfy as your living room. Choose from lounge chairs, love seats, and even sofas in just about every style imaginable.

Make it Cozy This small deck offers a great balance of comfy furniture and lush surroundings. Its stylish decor and convenient amenities make it the perfect fit for summertime entertaining. Adding features that suit your needs is all it takes to create the deck of your dreams.

Combine Deck Lighting with Screening

Extend the time you spend out on your deck by installing lights. Here, outdoor lights are wired into the decorative screens to illuminate the seating area and add ambience after dark. Nighttime illumination does not need to be at the same brightness as interior illumination. The goal should be to mimic the light levels typically provided by a full moon.

Relaxing Retreat

Create a cozy nook at the corner of your garden with pillow-padded furniture colorful accessories! Frame the space with an arching flowering vine.
