Prepare Your Commercial Outdoor Decks this Summer with Altitude Co

12 December 2022

Summertime undoubtedly entails relaxing on the deck and making plans for upgrades to make it even more enjoyable to use for sunny days! You would surely be interested to know what’s popular in deck design right now if you consider renovating your commercial outdoor decks. To get you started this summer, Altitude Co commercial carpentry contractors in Victoria share some of the newest deck trends!

Dark and Strong Colours is Definitely a Yes

Dark and strong colours are trendy when it comes to decking. It suggests avoiding light, bright colours or lighter natural wood tones like pine in favour of darker, richer wood tones like mahogany, at least for the decking boards. However, this isn’t always the case with the remaining deck. Browns offer a wide range of tones to work with, from rusty red-browns to chocolate shades or even darker hues, making them a perfect choice for deck painting or installing coloured composites. Not that you should absolutely avoid light colours, though! You can always choose to keep the decking boards dark, use light paint to match your space, and create a gorgeous two-tone look on your commercial outdoor deck.

Get Creative with the Lighting

Lighting has never played a big role in deck design, but there are now so many options for lighting up your outdoor deck at night, thanks to LED lights. One solution is to mount lights on poles and uprights. But now that LED lights designed to fit in post caps and tiny lights designed to go beneath stairs are readily accessible, they look lovely at night and make climbing those steps in the dark much simpler! For lightning-fast creativity for your commercial outdoor deck area, speak with our team of expert commercial carpentry contractors in Victoria.

Try the Modern Minimalism Vibe

At the moment, minimalism is a popular trend. It includes limiting the amount of décor on decks. Avoid superfluous extras like plants and other decors, and instead, make spaces pleasant with simple chairs and cushy throw cushions. Just stick to a few key pieces to achieve that crisp, minimalist look! The kind of railing our carpentry professionals use may also help the minimalist appearance. Glass railings provide a sleek, discreet, smooth, modern appearance. Wire railings are a popular alternative to modern minimalism.

Unusual Patterns Are a Great Option

Most people envision decking planks in the typical single-direction arrangement. In other words, when all the decking boards face the same direction. However, there are several more ways you may use to build a deck that let you play about with patterns. Suppose your deck has a lot of levels or different sections. In that case, you may always block off such areas with decking boards facing in different directions to provide the illusion of geometry. Herringbone-patterned decking planks can offer a deck a gorgeous, high-end aesthetic, and boards at diagonal angles can provide the impression of length. Additionally, our Altitude Co. commercial carpentry contractors are the best at offering you a stunning design for your commercial outdoor deck area.
