A deck decorated beautifully can be the most comfortable place in your home. A deck need not be attached to ones home. A deck can add aesthetical and functional appeal to ones home. A deck designed at the end of the garden can be a fun and great place to relax and entertain family and friends especially during summers. A self designed personal deck adds warmth to the ambience. A few ideas you could incorporate for personalized deck designs are as follows:
Decorating your deck with stain designs:
First you need to choose a design which would look attractive on your deck. Once you have chosen the design you need to mark the design in proportion to your deck size. The design can be marked easily with a straight edge and carpenter pencil. Once marked you could seal off the selected portion with a tape so that you can start painting the outer portion. Once the paint is dried, you could tape the painted portion to start painting the outer space. Using two or more colors could add glamour to your deck.
Theme deck designs:
Pretty looking decks with varied themes are in fashion today! One can choose a particular theme as per the size and shape. Some of the popular deck themes are the Caribbean island themes, the dessert themes, calypso etc. One very interesting theme one could elaborate upon is the galleon ship deck which can look really interesting with a barbecue area with deck table and chairs for comfortable sitting. One could use sailing ropes to distinguish deck area to add reality to the theme. One can implement water fountains to enhance the beauty of the deck visually.
Adding an arbor, pergola or railing to your deck:
Arbors and Pergolas are two main deck accessories which can complement any deck designs. One can choose arbors, pergolas made out of wood, vinyl or even metal as per personal deck preference. An arbor or pergola can be functional yet ornamental. If using the pergola functionally, one could add benches and chairs for creating a cozy atmosphere. Railing the deck can give you a privacy effect enabling the deck to stand out elegantly. Railings are available in different styles, sizes and designs. Always choose the railing which would complement your deck pattern and theme. A beautifully personalized deck can enable you to have lot of fun and frolic times with friends and family!
