Deck stairs are more than just steps. See the many possibilities here!
Backyard decks can be far more than just a place to sit around and cook on the grill. They can be far more than just standard. If you have a flair for creativity or want your deck to be extra, then these fun deck stair design ideas will help you make the stairs something else. We have many more deck design ideas on our blog and are happy to help you build the deck of your dreams in Maryland.
Painted Stairs
Deck stairs tend to be one or two colors. They can be made of wood, composite lumber, vinyl, or metal. If you are an artist or just love color, you can take your stair colors a step further by painting them. By this, we mean you could paint weatherproof designs on the stair risers, roll your favorite colors onto the treads, etc. The stairs could become your canvas.
Custom Stair Railings
Custom stair railings in home interiors can be conversational pieces. Why can’t the same be true for backyard deck stairs? With Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence in Maryland, a custom stair railing is possible. It’s possible to give it an interesting pattern or use a polished branch you found. The options are endless!
Stairs with Cut-Outs
Stairs must maintain structural integrity. With that being said, what about stairs with cut-outs in the risers? Instead of solid, plain risers, yours could have motifs, words, or pictures cut into them. Similar to a cut-out motif in a fence gate, these deck stair cut-outs could give your stairs a subtly custom edge.
Curved Steps
Who says steps have to be straight? Curved deck steps can be a great design for maximizing traffic flow and softening the look of your deck overall. This custom touch is simple but adds interest and elegance.
Storage Steps
Are you looking for sneaky ways to add storage to your deck? If you have a high-elevation deck, you could hide a storage room directly below the staircase, like an under-the-stairs cupboard in a house. You could also create storage boxes with steps.
