I’m constantly amazed by people who spend so much time on the design of their home interiors, then give short shrift to planning their decks. If you’re going to add a deck, it means you want more living space to enjoy and hopefully, increase the value of your home. Don’t waste your money on a deck you won’t be happy with. Deck space should be designed like any other room in your home to provide you with functionality, easy traffic flow, and a complimentary look to your home.
