As we settle into 2021 and notice the trends in outdoor living spaces, we might expect outdoor kitchens, outdoor living rooms, as well as outdoor gathering spaces to be more popular than ever within rural and suburban residences. Here is a list of our top four deck trend predictions for 2021:

Bigger decks

Folks want space outdoors to gather with family and friends where they’re able to safely socially distance. Also, with increased time spent working from home, a larger deck is a home improvement project that can provide a space to retreat and take a break from the day’s demands.

Covered decks

Enhanced outdoor living space decks can be used all year long. A source of shade on a deck makes it possible to utilize the space on warm, sunny days, and even better, they can safeguard you from pouring rain. This home addition makes an all-season experience possible on your new deck! Deck pergolas, deck roof extensions and deck pavilions are popular choices that provide protection from the elements and nearly limitless customization options. A home exterior design expert can help ensure your deck’s railings, posts, and overhead structure complement your home’s existing architectural elements. Well-designed deck covers can build on existing design concepts with the usage of materials that enhance your home’s style.

Multi-level decks

Another deck trend we see making it big this year are decks with several platforms. Capable of performing various functions, a grill or outdoor kitchen could be situated within one space, an eating space on another, and even a poolside lounging area on one other level. It goes without question that multi-level deck design will add style and interest to a home’s exterior, while offering extra room for larger gatherings. This configuration can also make it easier to accommodate social distancing, when necessary. Multi-level decks are especially popular home additions areas like Lookout Mountain and Ooltewah, with many opting to incorporate a hot tub.
