Modern Deck Designs

Gone are days of boring, square decks. These days, homeowners are getting creative with their deck designs. Nothing beats coming home to a beautifully designed deck after a long day or having a deck to host functions. That is why its design is important. Take a look at these modern deck designs.

Circular Decks

Decks aren’t just square anymore. It’s now easier than ever for homeowners to have a circular deck. Homeowners can incorporate a circular part of their deck or make the entire deck circular. Circular decks create the perfect environment for a fire pit, seating area, outdoor kitchen area, and more. 

Mixed Materials

Modern deck designs can be enhanced by mixing materials such as glass or cable railings. You can create an appealing, high-contrast modern design by mixing light wood decking and black metal railings. Cable and glass railings can be installed to provide an unobstructed view throughout the deck. 

Open Deck

Skip the railings and opt for an open deck concept. Seamlessly blend your backyard with your deck by having an open deck. Although the deck must be at least 16 inches above the ground, it’s still a safe and gorgeous modern deck design that gives quite the impression. Pair your open deck with under lighting stairs for the ultimate modern deck. 

Tiered Deck

One-leveled decks are traditional; multi-leveled decks are the new, modern design. A tiered deck not only expands the amount of useful space but also creates visual interest. Homeowners can divide their deck and create multiple types of spaces. Use one area of your deck for cooking and entertaining while using the other section of your deck for relaxing and lounging.

Outdoor Kitchen

You no longer have to remove yourself from the party to make the food. Modern decks now include an outdoor kitchen. With an outdoor kitchen, homeowners can cook and entertain at the same time. It’s the perfect addition to any modern deck. 

Built-in Features

Built-in features are a modern way to make the most of your deck space. Have built-in benches installed to eliminate the need for additional deck furniture. If you enjoy entertaining, try installing a built-in firepit that guests are sure to enjoy. Lastly, install built-in lighting to keep the party going well into the night.
