Spending time with the family is a great way to pass away the lazy days of early to mid spring. It’s especially nice when the weather is not too hot, there is no rain or high winds, and either the sun is shining perfectly or the night breeze is calming and relaxing. However, it is difficult to enjoy the beautiful elements of nature when you are surrounded by walls, closed doors, and closed windows as you would be in a sunroom.
You can enhance your time on the deck and truly enjoy the getaway if you love your deck. Not many homeowners can honestly say that they love their deck, because it’s a rectangular wooden structure that’s simply attached to the back of their home. That’s it; nothing special going on here. But if you do love your deck, you can think of a thousand different reasons to invite friends and family to enjoy it with you.
Suggestions for Enhancing Your Boring Wood Deck
Here are a few suggestions for making your deck the envy of the entire neighborhood:
- Add Tiers: Your current boring deck may not be the most beautiful thing you have ever added onto your home; however, adding tiers could turn it into a complete masterpiece. It adds artistic appeal and will attract more eyes to your home. The tiers don’t have to be separated by more than a few steps in order to add a wonderful appeal to your deck.
- Add Stories: A multi-story home allows you to add a deck onto the other stories. For example, if the master bedroom is on the second story, consider building a small personal deck that leads down to the primary deck at the first story.
- Add Plants: Bring nature to your deck by adding planters or decorative flower pots to your deck. Make sure to carefully choose your plants so that it will not be harmful to you, your family, and your pets.
- Add a Water Feature: Water features, like fountains, small ponds, and hot tubs, are a beautiful addition to a deck. However, these additions can carry a lot of weight. You want to inform your construction company of any water additions to make sure they are doable.
- Add Creativity: Enhancing your deck and personalizing it to your specific needs gives you an opportunity to be creative. Show your uniqueness by making your deck fit your lifestyle and personality.
