Deck-Design-Ideas-106An outdoor deck serves as the transition space between your home indoors and your backyard. Keep this in mind when thinking of your deck design. Perhaps a covered area close to your home would help ease the transition and create an inviting space for entertaining family and friends.

Work with the space you have. If your backyard is sloping, don’t be afraid of a multi-level deck to make the transition from house to yard more gradual. If you have a small space to work with, consider a deck with just a single step or two to make that transition.

Adding a deck to your home creates more space to enjoy, so make it a space that invites people in to enjoy it. Consider the attraction of a main focal point,  a comfortable sitting area, a dining area, a pool or hot tub, even a fire pit for friends and family to gather around on warm summer days or the crisp clear nights of winter in Virginia.

When thinking about your deck design budget, remember that a carefully designed outdoor space can add monetary value to your home as well.
