Choosing your deck style is an important step before installing a new outdoor space or patio. For many people, deciding to build a new deck comes from needing to replace an old one. After all, keeping a deck that is rotting away is a safety hazard and an eyesore. So, if you are going to replace it, you need to think about the deck that is going to be built in its place. There are a variety of deck styles to choose from and a lot has to do with the space that is available to build the new deck. Miles Bradley would like to help you find the right deck and style right for you!
Before introducing some styles, there are few factors that you should consider when planning a deck. First of all, you want to consider the architecture of your house. Decks are very versatile but most people want their outdoor space to compliment their house. As mentioned, you’ll need to figure out the available space. If you are living in area with smaller lots like Dearborn, you’ll probably want to make sure the space doesn’t take up too much of the lot. In addition, what is the primary function of your outdoor space? Depending on if going to casual place to hangout or a way to provide extra living space.
When it comes to choosing your deck style, there are a lot of options to choose from. Here are some of the deck styles people use with their deck design.
Traditional
Sometimes, going with the classics is a right choice. Traditional decks are know for the versatility and having a certain level of elegance. Most of the time, these decks are perfect for extra features including multi-level decks and multi-color accents. Railing, deck lighting and under deck space design are all common when building a traditional deck.
Mid-Century
Mid-Century decks are known for their simple but trendy aesthetic. Most of these decks have geometric shapes to give a unified look. Mid-century decks also tend to lean towards a nature feel to compliment the natural textures in mid-century homes.
Farmhouse
When people think of farmhouse decks, they immediately think about wraparound porches and decks. The outdoor areas can make a house feel bigger. It also offers easy access in and out due to the multiple access points to the deck. You also have multiple options to set your furniture or for a scenic view.
Scandinavian
This deck style focuses on minimalist design with a neutral color scheme and natural materials. Scandinavian decks are typically lower to the ground and made to be simple in comparison to the other decks.
