With beautiful year-round weather, everyone wants to spend time outdoors. In the Burbank neighborhood, having a deck is the perfect option. However, outdoor features can age quickly or become outdated, and your deck could need a refresh. Here are some creative deck remodel ideas to help revive your existing structure!
4 Creative Deck Remodel Redesigns
1. Add Levels
A great way to transform a sloping backyard area is by adding deck levels. You can build levels of your deck around natural hills, giving a seamless flow from the man-made structure to the nature in your yard. Different levels can also be used to help suggest the definition of various outdoor “rooms”; a kitchen on one level and a seating area on another. This can help add an expansive feel to your space.
2. Sunken Seating Areas
A new sunken seating area can be a lovely update to your deck, especially if it is already elevated. If you have lots of space, sunken seating provides a focal point for the eye and an area where guests can feel comfortable and cozy to lounge. It is a unique architectural addition that can set your yard apart from the others in your neighborhood. However, you must ensure that your deck is aligned correctly and you have no drainage problems!
3. Shady Structures
Having a shady deck can increase its use throughout the day and year. Adding a large umbrella or canopy can improve sun protection, especially over seating areas. Additionally, building a pergola or gazebo can provide height variation and protection from the elements. It can be a stylish way to modernize your outdoor space and an excellent complement to a pool or firepit.
4. Built-In Features
Adding new built-in features to your deck creates an entertaining space. For example, adding a firepit constructs a gathering place for friends, family, and conversation throughout the year. In comparison, a water feature can be both beautiful and calming. Additionally, built-in benches can keep it efficient; they are a great space saver while providing additional seating. Whatever element you choose, it gives a nice flow from deck to furniture, keeping your aesthetic thoughtful and continuous.
