Raised decking ideas: 10 stylish setups

Raised decking ideas are becoming more and more popular in modern garden design, and for good reason. 

Whether large or small, timber or composite, they're a stylish way to instantly define an outdoor living zone. Raised decks are also particularly useful if you have a sloping backyard, as they can be used to create sturdy, flat levels for all your garden furniture.

Another plus point of decking ideas is how they complement all sorts of plots. And, while there are plenty of finishes to choose from if you pick a composite deck, you can always give timber designs a lick of paint or stain if you want to switch up their aesthetic.

So, if you're on the lookout for raised deck ideas, we're here to help. This mix of styles is sure to get you inspired.

Create an on-trend base for your best garden furniture and transform the layout of your plot with a raised deck – these looks show how they can suit backyards of all sizes and styles.

1. Shelter your raised deck with a stylish cover

Raised decking is already a great way to establish a zone in your garden, but adding a deck cover will define the space even more.

There are lots of options – from pretty parasols to stunning pergolas. Whichever you choose, it will help extend the use of the area throughout the year by protecting you and your guests from inclement weather or the midday sun's glare.

This contemporary structure has particularly caught our eye, adorned with plenty of greenery to add to the jungle-like vibe. Accompanied by the pizza oven and comfy seating beneath, it's the perfect spot for whiling away many afternoons alfresco.

2. Opt for a mini raised deck for a chic seating area

Even small decks can add tons of appeal to a space, as this raised example shows. Creating a cool contrast against surrounding gravel and soft planting, it draws the eye and is the perfect base for two contemporary-style chairs.

We're a big fan of the circular shape, too – a look that's a little more unique than the classic square or rectangular deck. As the decking experts at Trex note, curves are making a comeback in a marked departure from the clean, streamlined looks of recent years. 'Contractors are already reporting increased demand for arched windows, doors, and openings, along with curved footprints for porches, decks, and walkways for landscaping,' they add.

'Curves add character to any setting and create a truly custom look,' says Leslie Adkins of Trex, and by looking at this setup, we definitely agree.

3. Use a raised deck to create the perfect porch space

A raised deck makes a sturdy base for your she shed ideas, and can extend the zone by acting as a stylish porch.

Add a seating solution, such as this on-trend egg chair, and perhaps a lantern or two for a flickering glow when night falls. The result: effortless indoor-outdoor living at the bottom of your backyard and the perfect setup to retreat to after a long day.

4. Create multiple levels with your raised decking

Naturally, decks are brilliant for creating a tiered garden, allowing the opportunity for both raised and sunken spaces. Here, for example, a sheltered dining area up high is accompanied by a laid-back seating area lower down, connected via a stunning curve of steps. Plenty of planting adds extra color and softness to the scene.

Of course, how you kit out your alfresco space is up to you – you may wish to add a few more mod cons for the ultimate outdoor living experience. 'Gone are the days of decks and patios that might be used to host a BBQ once or twice a year. Now, homeowners are seeking outdoor living areas where they can relax, watch their favorite shows, host a movie night with friends, play games and truly live every day,' says the experts at Trex.

'As a result, deck designs are taking on new shapes and styles, from mid-century to modern. Outdoor dens and sunken outdoor living areas – inspired by the popular indoor trend from the 1960s – are expected to see a resurgence,' they add, 'and they'll be outfitted with all the comforts and conveniences of the indoors, from upholstered furnishings and fully-appointed kitchens to bars, big-screen TVs, surround sound, and more.'

5. Incorporate flower beds into decked steps

When thinking about raised decking ideas, you'll need to consider the garden steps to and from the zone. A style like this adds a sense of cohesion as it blends into the surroundings, and we love the bordering flower beds too, for a final flourish.

It's also a good idea to add lighting to decking steps, to up the safety factor at night (plus, it will look impressive, too). Recessed spotlights are a popular approach, while strip lights on the underside of each stair tread's overhang will also have a sleek and modern appeal.

6. Enjoy the view from high decking

Placing a raised deck near a swimming pool is a great idea for a few reasons. 

First, it'll give you a lovely view of the water to enjoy while you sit, relax, and soak up the sun's rays. And second, if you have small children, it's a good way to keep an eye on them and ensure they stay safe while they're splashing around.

Plus, if you opt for composite for your pool deck, it's easy to pick a design that has plenty of grip underfoot which will help prevent slip hazards.

7. Create a raised zone for a stylish dining area

This small raised deck makes the perfect spot for dining outdoors, whether that's a long luxurious brunch with the family or a romantic dinner for two beneath the stars.

Tucked into the corner, it means the walls can be utilized to bring extra appeal to the space – we love the small living wall detail and the mini shelf that's ideal for lining up LED outdoor-friendly candles along.

8. Match your decking to nearby raised beds

Up the sense of harmony in your plot by matching the color and finish of your raised deck with nearby raised garden bed ideas. It's a simple trick but will always look effective.

Here, the wooden features make an aesthetically-pleasing contrast against the pale gravel pathway. And those brightly-colored bean bags offer a sense of fun, as well as a comfy space to relax.

9. Switch out timber for a raised patio

Although they are more tricky and time-consuming to build, it's possible to raise up your patio ideas to an extent, if you prefer the look. Then, you can take your pick of pavers to create a space that truly matches your design dreams.

This sleek gray finish is perfect for the modern plot, while timber-cladded walls, steps, and an overhead cover bring welcome warmer tones to the setup.

10. Separate a shed from the rest of your garden

Separate your shed ideas from your entertaining zone by lifting them up on a raised deck out of the way. It'll create an element of shelter for your seating, plus, depending on where you position it, it can up the sense of privacy, too.

We especially like how this garden building has been painted black to match the surrounding fence. It helps it recede into the backdrop and allows the planting and dining setup to take center stage.

What can you put underneath a raised deck?

'Don't overlook the space beneath an elevated deck,' says the team at Trex. 'Adding an under-deck drainage system, like Trex® RainEscape® , will not only protect a deck's substructure from moisture damage, but it will also create dry space that can be used for storing seasonal items.'

If your deck is particularly raised, you could even use the space beneath as a bonus outdoor living area, fully outfitted with furnishings, lighting, ceiling fans, and entertainment components, the team continues. Of course, you'll need to ensure it is safely installed by a professional if you wish to take this approach.

The garden was always a big part of Holly's life growing up, as was the surrounding New Forest where she lived. Her appreciation for the great outdoors has only grown since then. She's been an allotment keeper, a professional gardener, and a botanical illustrator – plants are her passion.

15 Outstanding Decking Ideas To Inspire Your Garden Transformation

Decks are a versatile way to create new areas in your garden and define spaces. Irrespective of your garden style, there are decks that can work with any design, and with any size or shape of garden. But with so many options, which deck will you choose? If you’re looking for inspiration that you could translate into a real-life deck in your own garden, these 15 decking ideas are a good place to start.

1. Raised Rustic Deck

Blending rustic materials with modern designs is a simple way to achieve a high-end contemporary feel in your yard. This raised deck uses clean lines and lots of straight edges to create a minimalist style while teaming it with dark wood full of character to give the garden an authentic aged feel. The color of the deck has been well chosen to match both the fencing and the furniture, which produces a seamless look.

As well as being visually attractive, the way in which the deck is raised serves the purpose of defining this area of the garden as the seating area. Adding definition in this way helps to ensure different spaces in the garden get used in the way they are intended and make the most use of the space.

2. Private Pergola

This pergola over a decked area helps to create an intimate space where you could dine or simply relax with a book. The pergola helps to offer some privacy to the decked area and further helps to define the boundaries of the deck.

If you’re looking for a traditional English country style in your garden, a pergola is the way to go. Painting the wood in a classic shade of sage green or duck-egg blue will further add to the country chic style of the pergola, reminiscent of private English gardens.

While the pergola is stylish all on its own, you can enhance its beauty by hanging flower baskets from the top planks or by planting climbing plants at the base of the deck to trail up the pergola. In this instance, the color of the deck has been matched with the color of the top pergola beams so that the whole thing appears to be one unit.

3. Rooftop Retreat

Decked areas aren’t reserved solely for decks in the garden and can be used to make a roof terrace feel like a homely place to hang out. Most roof terraces have concrete flooring, so adding decking to the floor really helps to make the space feel more usable and gives it a cozy feel.

By transforming your roof terrace into a private sanctuary, you’re essentially adding another room to your home, just that this one is outside (and might even have great views!)

To help create a comfortable vibe where you want to spend time, fill your rooftop retreat with plants and string lights. Bunting also helps to add a splash of color to your space, which could be matched with seating to link it in. This rooftop deck features plant pots that have been constructed from reclaimed palettes. This further adds to the shabby chic look of the terrace.

4. Stylish Sundeck

If you’re after a sophisticated style, a chic painted sundeck is a classy option. This sundeck has been painted in an elegant dove gray color to match the sunbeds and the exterior of the property. Keeping everything the same color, or at least slight variations of the same color, creates a fluidity of design, which comes across as very tasteful and understated. The continuation of color also helps to create the illusion that the space is bigger than it actually is.

If you plan to paint your deck, always clean your deck first with a specialized deck cleaner or a pressure washer to remove any debris that would prevent the paint from sticking. Always use paint that is intended for exterior woodwork, as this will ensure it lasts longer, though typically, painted decks will need to be repainted every few years, anyway.

5. Dark Deck

This decked area has a few design features going on that make it an excellent addition to a property. First of all, the covered roof is a brilliant way to make the deck feel like part of the home. Instead of being just an area of the garden, by adding a roof and adjoining it to the home, it feels more like an extension of the property. The roof adds protection from the sun, creating shade and a slightly cooler space than the rest of the garden, so the owners have the option to sit on the deck and enjoy being outside even on very hot days.

The roof also offers a structure from which you can hang string lights or grow climbing plants, which helps to add a ‘lived in’ feel to the space, creating a more pleasing interior design. By keeping the sides of the decked space open, the garden is invited into the area. This means you truly get the best of both worlds, the comfort of feeling like you are inside and protected from the elements while still being close to nature.

The deck has also been painted in a dark color, which helps to anchor it to the floor visually and further create a sense that it is an additional room rather than an outdoor deck.

6. Popular Ponds

For a while now, ponds have been considered a little dated, and they aren’t commonly found in many gardens as they are typically associated with old-fashioned homes. However, if you are a fan of water features in gardens, then a great way to bring them into the 21st century is to surround the pond with a deck.

Adding a decked area around the perimeter of a pond really helps to modernize it, especially if the pond is specially cut to fit around the shape of the pond as seen in this image. A deck can be used to create a walkway around any water feature, not just ponds. By updating ponds with decking, they are sure to find popularity again.

7. Commercial Common Area

This office building has used decking to create an attractive outside area for its employees to spend their breaks or lunch hours as an enjoyable place to unwind and relax during the workday. Using a deck to produce pathways gives the space a more aesthetically appealing quality, which is conducive to relaxation.

The deck has been completed in a pale color, which helps to keep the area light and bright without it being bold and intrusive. The addition of plants and trees helps to ensure the space is alive with positivity, helping to keep employees in a good frame of mind.

8. Traditional Raised Deck

This raised deck idea is commonly found in backyards across the country, and the reason that it is so popular is that it works so well. Constructing the deck at a raised level is a clever way to make use of uneven ground around your property, with steps leading down to a leveled area.

In this example, solar lights have been fitted on the steps to light up the stairway. This makes practical sense as it will help anyone from accidentally missing a step and falling over, but it also works well at a design level, as it makes the deck look more visually appealing.

Wooden banisters around the deck are a key safety feature to prevent anyone from falling off the side of the raised deck and injuring themselves, but it also helps to create a partially enclosed area so that the deck feels almost like a room itself. The wooden banisters could be used to wrap string lights around, to grow climbing plants up, or to sit window boxes of flowers or herbs on.

This deck has been kept in its original color, which maintains a traditional feel.

9. Decked Bistro Area

This timber garden studio has had a deck built in front of it, which provides a perfect space to position a bistro furniture set. Using a deck to create an area for a table and chairs or other furniture works well because it provides a flat and level floor for them to sit on. A lawn would not work as well, because the feet of the furniture might sink into the ground, and the constant moving of chairs to tuck in and out of the table could create unsightly rough patches on your lawn.

Paving slabs are often used to create similar patio areas, but these are becoming increasingly unpopular as people opt for decking that looks more natural and cozier. Having a wooden decked floor outside helps people to feel more comfortable, as wooden floors are commonly found inside, whereas paving slabs are obviously for outdoor use only.

10. Outdoor Living Space

This raised deck is very inviting thanks to the use of soft furnishings that you would typically find inside the home. Bringing these items outside creates a cozy external living space that will encourage you to spend more time outdoors.

To reproduce this look, choose rattan furniture, or rattan effect furniture, which is suitable for keeping outdoors but has a more comfortable feel than metal or plastic outdoor furniture. Soft furnishings is what will really transform your outdoor deck into more of a living space, so drape chairs and sofas in soft blankets and plush cushions, and use an outdoor rug to give the area different textures. Cushions that are water-repellent are available and can be kept outdoors all summer without you having to worry about them in the event of a shower. You could also use indoor soft furnishings as long as you bring them in after each use.

11. Dinky Deck

This backyard is evidence that decks can be created in any size. Despite the small stature of this deck, it does make a big impact. Both the shape and color of the deck set against the gray pebbles make it visually interesting, but it also serves the practical purpose of designating an area for a specific use.

In this case, you could choose to set a coffee table in the deck to rest books and magazines on, or you could fit a compact dining set on the deck as it provides a flat, stable surface for furniture that the pebbles do not. This round deck also reminds us that although decks have straight edges, they can be cut to form any shape.

12. Parquet Balcony Deck

If you like the idea of decking but want to step outside of the box, then deck laid down in a pattern could be a good route. This deck has been created in the style of parquet flooring and gives a sleek look while nodding back at a bygone era.

Deck laid in patterns gives an interesting aesthetic because it is so different from the usual parallel lines we are used to seeing in decking. However, as it is a uniformed repeating pattern, it still looks classy.

This deck has been formed using deck tiles. These tiles are essentially several pieces of timber joined together to create a square, which you can then lay down in whichever pattern you wish. For anyone wanting to attempt their own DIY deck, decking tiles are probably easier for a novice to install than regular decking boards.

13. Bespoke Pool Deck

Having your own private pool in your backyard, or in this case, built onto your balcony, is the dream. If you’re lucky enough to be living out this dream, then creating a deck leading to the pool could be your next project.

Building a deck around your pool instantly updates the look of the whole pool area and can breathe life back into an old, dated pool. As well as looking like your garden belongs in a high-end spa, decking around the pool also serves a practical purpose.

Wooden decking, being a natural material, is much more forgiving if you were to fall on it than concrete. If you have kids around your pool who are liable to slip over with wet feet, then timber decking could give you peace of mind that if they fall, they won’t sustain any bad injuries.

Decking, so long as it is properly maintained, doesn’t get slippery when wet, which hopefully means that fewer falls will happen in the first place.

14. Walking on Water

If you’re keen to install a grand design in your garden, then this futuristic design might appeal to you. Constructed to look as though it is floating on the surface of a pond, this structure is both bold and sleek.

Though at first it might appear as simply a work of art, it actually has practical uses. The central part of the structure offers a seating area, while the slanted part is actually a roof offering some shade for those sitting underneath it. The pathway leading up to the seating area is decked in a mosaic style to stay in keeping with the unusual design. The decking, which would have been built on top of posts or boulders underneath the surface of the water, creates the effect of a bridge laying atop the pond.

While the minimalist look of the design is very stylish, it may not be entirely practical for everyone. The lack of sides on the ‘bridge’ means that if anyone were to misplace a foot, they would end up getting rather wet. Due to this element, such structures are not recommended for anyone with small children or pets who might accidentally slip into the pond.

15. Grand Entrance Deck

For imposing houses such as this one, a shiny decked porch perfectly suits the grandeur of the design. The natural coloring of the deck, brought to a high shine with layers of varnish, perfectly captures the colonial revival style of interior design, albeit on the exterior of the property. The deck has been intentionally created to mimic the look of indoor wooden flooring so that the porch feels more like part of the home rather than part of the garden, though it’s important to note that only deck which has been specifically created for use outside should be used on porches as they will be subject to the elements.

The luxurious look of the deck also comes from the way in which it has been color-matched to other parts of the space. The top rail of the surrounding banisters has been left natural rather than being painted white like the rest of the rails, as well as the magnificent double door.

The addition of plant pots and furniture further helps to make the porch an in-between space, neither indoors nor outdoors. It features several elements that make it feel like an interior room, such as the chairs, the door rug, the interior style deck, and the ceiling. But it also has elements that draw it out to the garden, such as the exterior wall lights and the plants. Cleverly composed to create an area that allows you to have the best of both indoors and outdoors, this deck is an example of a fantastic porch.

Natural marble raised floors - aesthetically pleasing and practical

A raised floor is a structure made of a metal frame and removable panels that form a surface above a concrete subfloor. The frame is a system of vertical posts and horizontal beams. The space between the floor and the raised floor is used for laying engineering and technical communications.

First of all, the raised floor is installed in office premises, server rooms, computer centers with a large amount of equipment and other industrial facilities where there is a need to hide cables, lay heating pipes, ventilation ducts, etc., and also at any time without damaging the main layer to carry out their maintenance and repair. nine0005

The height of the space in some raised floor designs allows a person to lie down or sit inside.

Today, this type of flooring has gained popularity in the decoration of residential premises. Increasingly, owners of private houses, choosing between parquet, laminate or linoleum, prefer raised floors with marble tiles.

Practicality and ease of maintenance


Raised floor installation consists of several steps. First, vertical supports are installed on the concrete surface - consoles, adjustable in height. They are attached with dowels and special glue. Then traverses are installed on the console, on which panels of chipboard are placed later for additional depreciation and sound insulation. The floor is leveled using adjustable feet, after which the finishing layer is laid. The design of the raised floor can also include curbs, special cable assemblies, fixtures for ventilation system elements, etc. nine0005

Communications in this design are hidden from others, but if necessary, they can be accessed by removing one or more panels. The raised floor allows you to free up additional space, increase the heat and sound insulation of the room.

Raised marble floor


The base layer of the raised floor can be made of ceramic tiles, wood, laminate, galvanized steel, vinyl. There are many more materials used for cladding. One of the most popular of them is natural stone. Facing the floor with natural stone will harmoniously complement the interior of any style. nine0005

A marble floor has many advantages. This is a strong, durable and environmentally friendly material, resistant to both low and high temperatures, and has moisture-proof properties.

The traditional laying of marble on the floor is carried out on a cement or adhesive mortar, however, in this case, the possibility of local repair of the base becomes more difficult. The advantage of the raised floor is that stone panels are laid on a chipboard layer without the use of mortars. nine0005

Raised floors should not be installed in rooms with low ceilings, so this finish is not very popular in ordinary apartments. The cost of laying marble on such a floor is higher than traditional methods, but this is offset by their durability and aesthetic appearance. Therefore, if you want to buy a marble floor, you should give preference to a raised floor with a natural stone finish.

Raised floor is a type of raised floor, a modern technical solution to the problem of lack of free space in rooms, for installing communication lines and other engineering equipment. Thanks to this, raised floors are more popular and in demand today than ever.

This can be a large number of cables for data transmission and power supply, as well as pipelines (for example, air conditioning or refrigeration systems). In some cases, the floor is raised to a level sufficient to allow a person to crawl and even walk under it; to service the underground space, additional reinforcement elements are installed and lighting is provided. nine0003

Structurally, the raised floor consists of removable plates or panels laid on supporting elements (metal frame), which, in turn, are installed on the main floor. Removable panels can be calcium sulphate, metal, chipboard and covered with rubber coatings, linoleum, PVC coatings, ceramic tiles, carpet, laminate, etc.

The vertical element of the frame-forming system, the rack, has a platform in the lower part - a support, the design of which allows you to quickly change the height. The distance that the floor can be raised is from 3 cm to 1.2 m

Horizontal frame element, a beam in the form of a bar made of steel profile, at the ends has a design for a fastener element, which allows connecting adjacent cells to a lock or using a bolted connection.

The mounting plate is usually square, with sides 60 x 60 cm; rarely used hexagonal shape. Special shock-absorbing pads are placed under the plate, which do not allow dust to pass through and contribute to sound insulation.

In aesthetic terms, the raised floor is in no way inferior to the usual floor with classic floor coverings, but at the same time it makes it possible to additionally hide various communications, install a “warm floor” system. nine0003

The raised floor construction system includes optional elements made in the same style: curbs, inclined blocks, nodes for accommodating various kinds of sockets and connections, reinforcement ribs for areas of the floor with increased load. Special elements (cable-channel - for wires and cables) allow framing pipes, ventilation system outlets, load-bearing elements of building structures (columns, pylons, etc.).

Benefits. The raised floor allows you to reliably hide all communications in the room, while providing fairly easy access to them, since the panels can be removed at any time. nine0003

If during the operation of the raised floor the number of communications changes (mainly the addition of new ones), you can easily raise it to the desired height and free up the space you need.

Raised floors are also interesting and advantageous because they do not require the use of a concrete screed, which greatly reduces the time of their installation and dismantling. In fact, this is a prefabricated structure that can be quickly assembled and disassembled by anyone who is at least a little familiar with flooring. nine0003

Installing raised floors is a fairly simple process, but the work must be done carefully and carefully. First of all, you need to take care of the preparation of the base: remove the old coating and clean the surface. Next, you need to install supporting structures (racks or pedestals). If the raised floor will rise above the main floor at a height of more than 50 cm, stringers will also be required, which will make the entire structure even more durable.

The supports are glued to the main floor, and the slabs are already laid on top, trying to avoid gaps and ensuring their tightest possible contact.
