Decks are the perfect pre-summer home transformation. Not only are they functional for entertaining, but they can also add financial and aesthetic value to your home. If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor living space with a deck addition this summer, there are a few leading trends you can use for inspiration.

Here are a few stunning deck looks for this season:

• Ample Space: If you have extra room on your property, why not have a large, spacious deck constructed for plentiful seating, room for lounging, and boundless decor options? While many decks of yesteryear were limited to specific sizes, today’s homeowners are expanding their outdoor space for unlimited entertaining opportunities.
• Outdoor Kitchens: For grill masters, having all of the supplies needed to create culinary masterpieces on their deck is extremely convenient. An increasing number of homeowners now request outdoor refrigerators, bars, and cooking spaces to be built right into their decks. The result is an enviable outdoor kitchen allowing homeowners to interact with their guests while cooking. Plus, you won’t have to keep going back inside the house for supplies. For the best deck on the block, consider adding an outdoor bar; just be prepared for neighbors to invite themselves over.
• Luxe Lighting: You can create an inviting ambiance by incorporating lighting fixtures directly into your deck. Weather-resistant string lights are also sought-after for adding a festive touch. Outdoor stoves and fireplaces can be incorporated safely onto decks to make the outdoor space a cozy and comfortable environment early in the springtime and late into the fall.
