Imagine stepping out onto your deck and feeling like you’ve been transported to a luxurious retreat, lounging in a comfortable chair and feeling completely relaxed in your outdoor haven. With some changes to your deck, whether a standalone project or as part of a home remodel, you won’t have to. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Beaverton discusses how to turn your deck into a truly luxurious destination.
Planning Your Luxury Deck Project
Whether you’re planning on giving your existing deck a makeover or building a new one from the ground up, take the time to assess your current outdoor space, as this will inform your decisions regarding deck design. For example, a sloped yard may involve some leveling work, or you’ll probably want to build a multi-tiered deck. Also, make a list of the features that you want, from seating and entertainment options to functionality and aesthetics. Don’t worry about creating a detailed plan at this stage: a deck builder can help you flesh out the details.
Choosing the Right Materials
Like most other kinds of home renovation projects, selecting the right materials for long-lasting beauty and durability is imperative. The main parts of the deck can be made from wood or composite. Combined with railings, lighting fixtures and other accessories, you can have a deck with a truly luxurious look. Other materials that complement standard decking materials include brick and stone.
Enhancing Your Deck Experience
Take your deck experience to the next level by adding features that enhance the outdoor experience, like an outdoor kitchen or a bar area. Cooking and dining al fresco will be quite an experience with a well-designed outdoor kitchen. A fire pit can provide warmth and atmosphere, perfect for cozy nights and intimate gatherings. Consider installing an outdoor theater system for a drive-in experience without having to leave your home.
