As we step into a new year, it’s time to explore the exciting world of decking trends for 2024. At Texas Deck Company, we’re here to guide you through what’s in and what’s out in the realm of deck design. Whether you’re planning a new deck or considering a refresh, these trends will help you stay ahead of the curve.
What’s In
1. Sustainable Decking Materials
In 2024, eco-conscious homeowners are opting for sustainable decking materials. Composite decking made from recycled plastics and wood fibers remains a popular choice. Additionally, innovative materials like bamboo and reclaimed wood are gaining traction for their environmental benefits.
2. Multifunctional Deck Spaces
Decks are no longer just places to lounge. Homeowners are embracing multifunctional deck spaces that serve as outdoor kitchens, dining areas, and even home offices. Integrated features like built-in seating, fire pits, and outdoor lighting enhance functionality.
3. Natural Colors and Textures
Neutral and natural color palettes are making a comeback. Earthy tones, such as warm browns, muted greens, and soft grays, create a harmonious connection with the outdoors. Textured decking materials mimic the look and feel of natural wood.
4. Metal Railings with Cable Infill
For a modern and unobstructed view, metal railings with cable infill are a top choice. They offer a sleek and contemporary look while ensuring safety. The combination of metal and cables provides a minimalist aesthetic that’s on-trend for 2024.
What’s Out
1. Traditional Wood Decking
Traditional wood decking, while timeless, is taking a backseat in 2024. Many homeowners are seeking low-maintenance alternatives that offer durability and sustainability. This shift away from high-maintenance wood is driven by the desire for convenience and eco-friendliness.
2. Monochromatic Decks
Monochromatic deck designs with a single color theme are losing popularity. Instead, homeowners are opting for decks with a mix of colors and materials to create visual interest. Combining different textures and hues adds depth and character to outdoor spaces.
3. Overly Ornate Designs
Elaborate and overly ornate deck designs are giving way to simplicity. Clean lines and minimalist aesthetics are preferred, creating a more open and inviting atmosphere.
4. Inadequate Lighting
Insufficient lighting is no longer acceptable. In 2024, well-planned outdoor lighting is a must. This includes deck-mounted lights, step lights, and even ambient lighting for evening gatherings.
