Top Deck Trends of 2023
The warmer months are prime time for decks, which means the team at Apex Homes is getting excited (decks are our absolute favorite). A deck is an extension of your living space, and with some creativity and personal touches, we can make it a unique and inviting space that reflects your personality and style. In this blog post, we will explore some ideas for customizing your deck to create an outdoor oasis that you and your guests will love.
-Add a Fire Pit: A fire pit is a great addition to any deck and creates a cozy and inviting ambiance. Whether you prefer a traditional wood-burning fire pit or a gas-powered one, this feature will provide warmth and light to your outdoor space. Fire pits can also extend your deck using months during the year, providing a perfect place for gathering on cool evenings.
-Install Built-in Seating: Built-in seating is a great way to add functionality and style to your deck. You can create benches around the perimeter of your deck or build a corner seat with a comfortable cushion. Both composite and wood decking allow for huge creativity for built in seating options, providing ample seating for your guests while also adding a unique touch to your outdoor space.
-Incorporate Lighting: Adding lighting to your deck can create a warm and inviting ambiance, as well as provide a safety factor for those summer evening gatherings. From built-in stair or perimeter lights to post and railing lights the addition of lighting will not only provide light but will also add a decorative element to your outdoor space.
-Create a Water Feature: A water feature can add a relaxing and calming element to your deck. You can install a small fountain or create a mini pond with a waterfall, or add a entire pool if you really want! Any water feature will add a unique touch to your outdoor space and will help you relax after a long day with friends and family.
-Add a Privacy Screen: If you have a deck that is visible to your neighbors or the street, adding a privacy screen can help you create a more private and secluded space. You can install a wooden lattice, aluminum privacy screens, use potted plants to create a natural barrier, or even use outdoor curtains.
Customizing your deck is a fun and exciting way to create an outdoor space that you and your guests will love. With these creative ideas, we can turn your deck into a unique and inviting oasis that reflects your personality and style.
