From multi-level decks to poolside terraces — 10 popular ways to use composite decking boards and tiles to uplift your outdoor space.
Decking is one of the best ways to change your outdoor space to a more modern style, but traditional wood decking often has many drawbacks. It is susceptible to the weather, can become slippery in winter, and has high maintenance needs.
Composite decking, whether in plank or tile format, offers a new and exciting way to transform outdoor spaces. There are so many ways you can use composite decking boards and tiles to uplift your home’s exterior — let’s look at 10 of the most popular ways to do it.
1. Create Multiple Levels of Decking
Add interest and architectural style to a garden space with multi-level decking. You can have a lowered area for seating and entertaining friends and family, while an upper area can be reserved for al fresco dining.
2. Add Planters and Seating Areas
Building planters and seating directly into the composite decking area helps create a cohesive space where everything flows together as one. Don’t forget that decking can be applied vertically as well as horizontally.
3. Make Your Decking Shine with Lighting
When the sun sets, a range of integrated lighting features can take your composite decking to the next level. Whether you choose to add them along the edges or on steps, it’s a great addition.
4. Composite Decking Around a Pool or Jacuzzi
A must-have addition to your home — poolside composite decking creates a sense of modern style while serving a practical function, as composite decking is not as slippery as real wood when it gets wet.
5. Use Your Deck All Year Round
Entertain in every season. Composite decking won’t rot or become dangerously slippery in the winter months, and you can add a cover over the top to keep the elements out.
6. Experiment with Curves
Just because the planks and tiles come in square and rectangular shapes doesn’t mean you can’t add circular planters and seating to add interest alongside straight lines.
7. Make a Minimalist Design
New decking is a chance to design a whole new vibe for your home — and minimalism is in. Choose a lighter tone that can’t be achieved with real wood to make the space feel more open.
8. Complement with Recycled Materials
If you’re eco-conscious, pair your eco-friendly decking with recycled or upcycled pieces. Promote green living and sustainability with a look that’s entirely your own.
9. Gather Around a Firepit
With durable composite decking, you can lay throw pillows and blankets directly on the floor for firepit evenings — without worrying about splinters or the dirt and grime that accumulates on wood.
10. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Shapes
Composite decking tile can be turned 90 degrees to give the illusion that a space is much bigger than it actually is. Vertical decking with horizontal borders also provides a streamlined look.
