If you're thinking about giving your yard a makeover, you're in the right place. This article is all about helping you find the perfect deck design to complement your outdoor space. We've broken down the patio decks by style: Modern: Characterized by clean lines, minimalist decor, and the use of materials like glass, steel, and concrete. Modern design focuses on simplicity and function. Traditional: Features classic details, sumptuous furnishings, and an abundance of accessories. Traditional homes often reflect historical design elements and symmetry. Rustic: Emphasizes natural beauty, with extensive use of wood, stone, and other natural materials. Rustic homes often have a cozy, earthy feel. Minimalist: Takes cues from modern design but further simplifies it to achieve a sense of tranquility and uncluttered space. It uses a minimal color palette, functional furniture, and strives to maintain a clean, distraction-free environment. At the heart of many of these designs is a nifty little invention called TuffBlock deck blocks. These blocks are a game-changer for anyone looking to build a deck, offering a simpler, no-fuss alternative to traditional concrete foundations.

This sleek and modern deck allows you to walk straight out of your patio doors and enjoy your yard all year round. Featuring 2 levels with plenty of space for an outdoor dining area, it incorporates the indoor space along with the outdoors to seamlessly blend the two together in stunning fashion. 2. This deck extends the patio for increased living space, and incorporates a feature wall in the same style of wood used for the decking boards. Stones, pavers and fairy lights are all great ways to enhance your space, and allow you to segment the yard with simple retaining walls. 3. This deck is something that any DIYer could build. It's a simple rectangular patio deck that greatly increases the living space of this house with the addition of a sofa and coffee table for enjoying a book, having a drink or entertaining with friends. 4. We love the 2 toned fascia board on this one that wraps around the deck. It provides contrast and adds a bit of dynamism. A deck like this can easily be built with a row of beams below joists. Or use 4x4 posts to build up to the height of the door jam. Either way, with TuffBlock it's easy! 5. This beautiful mutli-level patio deck is not only practical but visually stunning. Think about how you can incorporate a patio deck that also features as a walkway into your yard. 6. Patio decks are all about connecting the indoors with the outdoors. It's not just for summer either! In winter, adding a deck means you can walk outdoors without stepping into a muddy lawn. But let's face it...decks like these are best enjoyed on warm summer nights when you can eat outdoors with the bbq on. If you're entertaining, it allows more room for people to mingle too! 7. Having a gazebo, pergola or overhanging roof is a great way to stay sheltered whilst enjoying the outdoors. This simple patio deck is a great example of that! Enjoy outdoor dining and stay sheltered against the rain. 8. Incorporating a deck alongside your sliding glass doors can dramatically enhance the sense of space in your home, effectively creating a seamless extension that bridges your indoor and outdoor living areas. 9. This deck combines a both modern and rustic features. Stone pavers combined with a modern house creates a great juxtaposition! Traditional 1. A patio deck can be a very warm and inviting feature of a home. We love the muted and mature colours of this patio against the brick house. 2.
