Colorful Solutions for Designing a Multi-Level Deck
Multi-level deck design is a fantastic way to make the most of your outdoor spaces, offering amazing benefits in both style and functionality that simply can’t be replicated with single-level decks.
Whether you need a creative design to work with a sloped yard or want to incorporate a beautiful outdoor space with each story of your home, the design options are nearly limitless.
Use Different Composite Decking Colors to Define Spaces
Multi-level decks offer the opportunity to create several distinctive spaces that have their own specific style and functionality.
You can build the entire deck with the same color composite decking, or each of the levels can be built with different complementary colors – creating a distinct style for each area
Consider a three-level deck, each level with its own unique purpose and distinctive color palette.
A Colorful Example
The top level of the deck is screened-in, built with the cozy, earthy brown color palette of Caribou Brown composite decking, a lovely complement to comfortable seating upholstered in forest green and tan.
An enclosed stairwell within the screened-in area leads down to the middle level, where you step out to see the cool blue colors of a sunlit jacuzzi tub, giving striking contrast to the warm color tones of Spiced Teak.
The lower level features an outdoor kitchen and dining area, built with the slate color palette of Gunstock, complementing the stainless steel of the kitchen appliances and natural stone stairs descending to the lawn below.
Use Stairways Between Levels as Design Features
For style as well as functionality, stairways offer surprising opportunities for creative deck design. By selecting two complementary colors for your stairway, you can create stylish transitions between levels.
For example, use the multi-tonal Grey Wood for stair treads, and the solid Harbor Grey for stair risers to create a subtle, yet striking, visual effect.
Use Covered Stairways to Unify Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Covered stairways between levels with indoor access can be used as functional transitions between indoor spaces. For example, a stairway between a screened-in top level deck with master bedroom access and a lower level deck with kitchen access can deliver outdoor access between levels.
When the stairway is protected from weather, it can be used every day as an alternative to indoor stairways. A stairway descending from a screened-in or covered area is a great way to maximize the indoor comforts that you can bring into outdoor living spaces.
