Ten Ways to Make Your Deck Unique

Planters  

Elevate your deck’s charm with cool planters that bring life and personality to your outdoor space. Choosing unique planters adds flair to your deck, whether it’s vibrant hanging planters, quirky geometric designs, or rustic wooden boxes.

String Lights  

String lights have the magical ability to transform a mundane deck into a captivating and cozy retreat, adding a touch of enchantment to your outdoor space. The gentle glow of string lights creates a warm and inviting ambiance and accentuates your deck’s architectural features, making it stand out as a unique and charming extension of your home.

Privacy Fence  

Get creative with materials to create a privacy barrier around your deck. This unique feature will eliminate noisy neighbors and unsightly views and make you feel truly at peace on your comfortable deck.

Cooking Area  

Bring the kitchen outside! Create a space in your outdoor area for a grill, a pizza oven, or a refrigerator so you don’t miss a moment relaxing on your deck.

Built-in Seating  

Adding built-in seating is a great way to give your deck a special touch. These practical built-ins give you the chance to add your own personal flair. With plenty of design options, materials, and colors, homeowners can get creative and make their decks truly unique.

Fire Pit  

Enjoy your deck year-round with the warmth of a fire pit. Numerous designs and materials exist to lend a distinctive flair to your fireplace, allowing for a personalized and unique aesthetic.

Water Feature  

Add a peaceful water feature to your deck, like a recirculating pump fountain or a simple water garden in a pot or raised bed. Short on space? Consider a small one placed on a tabletop for a calming touch.

Make it Cozy!

Your deck should be a cozy oasis, so opt for comfortable furniture. Enhance your deck with a set of vibrant and comfortable pillows to elevate its style to indoor levels. Whether you place them on outdoor chairs or offer them to guests lounging on the deck’s perimeter, these pillows will reinforce your deck’s decorative theme. Opt for outdoor fabrics in cheerful, coordinating colors; apply a washable protectant to repel moisture and stains effectively.

Double Decker  

A two-level deck maximizes the space in your backyard and promotes multiple seating areas. If your yard doesn’t work for a double-decker deck, elevate a section to add dimension and flexibility for entertaining.

Pergola  

Enhancing the elegance of your deck, pergolas provide a sophisticated touch, whether left open or adorned with lush vegetation. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, pergolas serve a dual purpose by adding beauty and functionality, offering valuable shade to your outdoor space.
