Maximizing Outdoor Living Spaces With Deck Design in Vancouver

Outdoor Living Spaces are a way to enjoy spending time outside without needing to compromise on the comforts and conveniences offered by the indoors. In today’s blog we will be looking at how you can maximize your outdoor living spaces in Vancouver using deck design.

Shelter

The weather can be one of the biggest hinderances to enjoying your outdoor living spaces, with weather like rain, wind and hot sun causing a great deal of discomfort for you and your guests. One way you can avoid this and get the most out of your outdoor living spaces is to make them as all-weather as possible to suit Vancouver’s coastal climate. This can be done by adding roofing, structures, patio covers or heating to make the space comfortable and livable in all seasons and all manner of weather.

Natural Elements

You can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor living spaces by choosing to integrate natural elements into the design. Examples could include placing your outdoor living spaces near pleasing garden features, using planters or pots to place greenery directly in the living space or using natural stone to accent various features of the space, the possibilities are endless. You can also use natural woods or materials that mimic natural woods as building material to make the deck itself appear more natural.

Zones

Increasing the usability of your outdoor living spaces can also be beneficial in maximizing your enjoyment. There are several ways that deck design can be used to improve usability such as using walls or multi-level decking to create different zones for things like cooking, lounging or dining. You can also integrate storage, cooking, seating and other comforts into the deck itself to minimize their space impact and leave more room for comfortable living.
