Deck Ideas that Work by Peter Jeswald

This beautiful border designates the main artery from the deck to the other parts of the property. The robust greens create a nice contrast with the orange parts of the house.

added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Book to Know: 'Deck Ideas That Work'
Extra living room. Decks are great options for creating much-needed living space for older, smaller homes. With an overhead structure and some furniture, a deck greatly extends the home's living space.And don't stop there. Decks can be great places to enjoy family movie night; outdoor dining, cooking and entertaining; a soak in a hot tub; or a special retreat for some quiet outdoor time. It all starts with making a wish list that defines your goals.

When ready to replace the deck, if redo the exterior shingles in a neutral gray or green shade, see how the white trim of the railing and medium-brown decking color work so well together with the siding and white or off-white trims. The railing looks like a cedar-type coloring while the decking is lighter in shade.
