Looking to upgrade your back yard? Well we've got 6 simple deck designs, but built in beautifully landscaped yards. These decks aren't just about functionality; they're about creating a vibe, a mood. Imagine stepping out to a space that blends seamlessly with the outdoors, where the boundaries between inside and outside blur. A place for morning coffees or to have dinner outdoors. These decks all use simple landscaping materials such as pavers, stone & rock to incorporate your deck into your yard by building pathways and garden beds around the deck itself. When using TuffBlock deck blocks, you can build the deck portion in a matter of hours when the deck itself is a simple rectangle. But when blended into the yard with some simple landscaping tricks, it elevates it to a whole new level. Hopefully these inspire you and get you thinking about how you could transform your own yard! This first deck shows how you can build out from your home to create a patio deck, and extend the living space in your house. This type of deck is perfect for an outdoor living area. Think about using stones around the deck to frame it. The symetrical plants at either corner of the deck along with the L shaped couch make this a perfect place to sit and enjoy the outdoors that leads perfect out to your garden. This type of deck is also perfect in winter where the stone and paved pathway allow you to stay out of the mud whilst still using the space. This deck is similar, but is floating in the yard as a stand alone platform. A floating deck platform is a great place to have dinner during warm summer nights. Adding pavers to your lawn is a great way to connect the deck to the house, and the gravel/stone around the deck is great for hiding the deck blocks under the deck. This deck is built into the garden bed at the end of the yard. The pathway connects is seamlessly to the house, and allows you to sit in your yard whilst enjoying the nature around you. A two toned deck is always a nice touch. A floating ground deck is perfect for a bbq and inviting friends over for a feast! Building on a slope yard? Well TuffBlock allows you to build using posts at various heights for a deck like this. Consider creating a bench as part of your floating deck for an extra place to sit. You can also build a firepit next to your deck to warm you up in the evenings! We hope these six stunning examples of floating decks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to embark on your own backyard transformation. Each deck, with its unique blend of simplicity and style, demonstrates how when using deck blocks, like TuffBlock, a single day's effort building a floating deck can result in a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. Whether it's a cozy corner for your morning coffee or a spacious platform for social gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Now it's your turn to bring these ideas to life! Grab your tools, choose your design, and start building. Remember, the beauty of these decks lies not just in their construction, but in how they harmoniously integrate with the natural landscape of your yard. We can't wait to see the incredible spaces you create, transforming your outdoor areas into personal havens of relaxation and joy. Happy building!

If you are looking for some inspiration for a playroom then keep reading, because this EPIC space is going to blow your mind! We spoke to Jess from @lifeofriverandiluka_ after her amazing playroom reveal. Everyone went crazy over it and we totally understand why! This room is another level of magic and really every child's dream play space! Interview What was your inspiration for this room?Inspo was to have as many sensory elements that kids would play with every day. Inspo is always scandi/Nordic as I just love that it fits into my home interiors. Main factors were to have great storage, sensory based and just all round fun :). What were the three essential things the playroom needed to have?Storage! For me storage is what makes me stay in control of the toys. Everything has a place that allows me to still keep my interiors in order. A swing/hanging equipment for spinning. It’s not needed for everyone what for my son having sensory issues this was important. The swing helps regulate himself on the hourly. Best investment! A rug. You want your kids to be comfortable enough to chill out and read/play on a soft surface. How do you start the design process? Give us a little insight on how you create all your magical spaces. I always start with Pinterest or Insta hashtags. When searching I don’t always search “playroom” I look at different materials or structures in a range of interiors. I love scandi or Nordic interiors which a lot of the time have great shelving ideas. What do you like about the Hunter + Nomad rug in the space?I love that it’s the perfect size for the space and that the colours match my other decor. It’s super soft and washable which every person needs! Do you have any more exciting interior projects planned? I do! I have a laundry reveal. We have a tiny space that I’ve made into something pretty special! Think arch shelving :) Also Ilukas cubby that will revealed on her third birthday (End of April).
