Are you thinking about building or updating your deck in 2023? If so, you're in the right place! At The Premier Decking Company, we know that keeping up with the latest deck design trends is important to creating a functional and stylish outdoor living space. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most popular deck design trends that are taking over in 2023.
1. Multi-Level Decks:
Multi-level decks are extremely popular in 2023 and allow homeowners to create different outdoor living areas for various activities. For example, you may have an elevated seating area for dining and a lower-level lounging area for relaxing. The use of multiple levels creates a visually appealing design and maximizes your available space.
2. Metal Railings:
Because of its sleek, polished finish, metal deck railings are quickly
gaining in popularity. They are an ideal choice if you want to add a modern flair to your new or existing deck. Metal railings complement any decking material and can add an industrial or contemporary element to your outdoor living space.
3. Cocktail top:
If you’ve been exploring the idea of building a deck, you’ve probably heard the term “cocktail rail” or “drink rail” a few times already. It’s the popular upgrade that homeowners love. A cocktail rail is a decking board you add to the top of your railing to create:
A flat surface to place drinks
Extra space for grilling
A space to lean on while socializing
It may seem simple but we consider cocktail railings for decks one of the best upgrades you can get, considering how handy it ends up being.
4. Hidden Fasteners:
Hidden fasteners secure your deck boards from the sides and/or below, without being visible on the top surface of the deck. Hidden fastener systems do so either via screws hidden by material-matched plugs or with clips that fit into grooves along the sides of your boards. Homeowners prefer hidden fasters because :
✓ Gives you a polished finish thanks to a fastener-free surface
✓ No exposed nails to accidentally step or trip on, as is common with wood
✓ Provides secure holding power for lasting performance.
5. LED Deck Lighting:
LED lighting has become an essential element for deck design in 2023. Lights can accomplish much more than just beautifying your property. They can provide safety, security, functionality, and benefit the environment. They also highlight the boundaries of the deck, create interest and depth, and provide ambient lighting for nighttime gatherings, enhancing the overall outdoor experience.
