Late summer and autumn are the best time to plan and build a new deck-starting from the high temperature in summer to cool down, a suitable outdoor temperature makes outdoor work more comfortable. Take action and create a more comfortable living environment.
From basic rectangles to intricately curved shapes, your deck design can be designed to your liking. Among the popular trends of outdoor flooring living, the following designs have caught our attention:
• Independent courtyard
• private space
• Personalized design
• A variety of colors
Independent courtyard
Many homeowners are building a backyard away from the house, which can also be called an "open-air dining area", which takes the form of a terrace or a separate deck that is not connected to the house. The connection between the open-air dining area and the house through landscaping and winding paths can provide a sense of travel and transition, giving people a different life experience.
Private space
Whether it is a deck commonly used at home or a free-standing deck, many deck designs include decks of different heights. These creative decks are higher or lower than the main deck, in addition to providing eye-catching design, this is also a good way to define functional areas. For example, a small raised section can provide an intimate conversation corner or private space. You can also set a raised or lowered deck as a dining space to separate it from the outdoor kitchen.
Individual design
With the development of deck design in recent years, more deck builders and DIY enthusiasts are going beyond simple squares and rectangles, including curved decks. These designs range from decks with curved edges on one side to round decks, and even complex shapes such as leaves or guitars. Although it is more challenging to build than a rectangular deck, the composite decking can be bent after heating, which makes it possible to realize these unique designs, which are difficult to achieve with wooden floors.
Variety of colors
The emergence of laminate flooring in various colors enables homeowners to create more visually appealing decks. Some ideas include installing a row or two dark wooden boards on the edge of the light-colored deck as a frame and delineating the cutout areas for trees and shrubs. A truly adventurous builder can even bend contrasting composite panels and meander across the deck to create a unique design.
