Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning for warmer weather, including getting ready for outdoor activities and entertaining. One of the best ways to make the most of your outdoor space this year is to work with a deck contractor to design a custom deck. Here are a few creative ideas to consider. 

Creative Deck Ideas 

1. Wraparound

While the backyard is the most common space to add a deck, a front-entry deck has plenty of advantages as well. Wraparound decks or porches provide the best of both worlds with easy access to the front and back yards. Ask your deck contractor about adding doors from multiple rooms, including the sunroom, bedroom, living room, and dining room, for additional convenience. Designate areas for lounging, entertaining, and cooking. 

2. Two-Story

In addition to the added square footage, you’ll have the advantage of a covered lower deck, perfect for lounging and entertaining, and an open space above, ideal for planters or garden space.

3. Rooftop 

A flat-roofed house provides an excellent space for a rooftop deck. Use the space for an urban garden or unique entertainment area with an incredible view. Ask your deck contractor about using composite wood to prevent sunlight and moisture damage, and choose outdoor furnishings in fade-resistant materials.

4. Deck With an Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen or fire pit is the ultimate outdoor entertainment accessory. Fire pits provide a fantastic space to gather and relax at any time of the year. They’re also useful for cooking. If you enjoy having dinners outdoors or often entertain in the warmer months, add an outdoor kitchen space with a grill or pizza oven and preparation areas.
