Backyard Deck Trends for 2024

This year, backyard decks continue to be a significant part of the home. Popular features of 2023 continue to grow in popularity in 2024. Will you get on board with these backyard deck trends for 2024?

Multi-Level Decks Continue to Be Popular

Multi-level decks are a popular way to create outdoor living zones in your backyard. A multi-level deck might have a cascading design or make the most of vertical space with a storied design. One level might have your outdoor furniture and grill, while another level houses your hot tub or potted plants. 

Smart Technology on Deck

Technology like sensor or remote-controlled lights can extend from your home to your backyard deck. Portable and built-in stereo, lighting, TVs, etc., can be part of your outdoor living room just as much as your interior living room.

Thrifted Materials

Reusing materials to save costs and reduce the consumption of new materials is a trend that spans plenty of industries. For backyard decks, it could mean sourcing all or some parts of your new deck from recycled or reclaimed materials. Keep in mind that it is worth using high-quality materials; in some cases, using a new material will be well worth it.

Maximized Efficiency in Design

The more functional you can make your deck design, the better, which is not just a trend, but a principle to keep. It could look like built-in storage benches, hidden storage compartments, or a custom deck design that works with the contours of the land.

Mixed Materials and Colors

This year is a great year to be free to get creative with mixing your deck materials and colors. It can be both decorative and functional. A secondary color on a deck platform can delineate the border or deck zones. It can also make a pattern that makes a statement. Meanwhile, if you have a backyard view, you can preserve it by using aluminum bars, steel cables, or glass panels for the railing.

Custom Deck Designs

Businesses are looking for ways to personalize and customize their products more than ever. Custom deck designs continue to be the best form of outdoor living that works with the contours and size of your property.
