Picking a Deck Pattern

One of the best ways to give your outdoor space a makeover is to add a pattern to your deck. It’s a great way to make the space feel more open or add another level of design to your space. If you are already planning on remodeling your deck, choosing your design first will help as certain designs will often require specific modifications to be done on the deck. If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to choosing a design, read on for some tips!

A great place to start is to simply start looking at popular designs to see which ones you like. Popular options for deck spaces include American Flagstone, Fanfare, Herringbone, Cobblestone and tile among many others. You’ll also want to take into consideration the theme of your deck. What color palette is present? What type of outdoor furniture are you using? The type of deck design should match these factors as well. 

You’ll also want to consider what you’re using your deck for. If you plan on hosting lots of parties you’ll be getting lots of foot traffic so it might be good to consider something sturdier. However, if you’re planning on using your space for just your family and are expecting less foot traffic, it might not matter as much. Be sure to also consider your time. All decks need maintenance but some deck patterns will be easier to clean than others so be sure to think about this as well. Finally, ask an expert!
