Transitional Deck Design
When designing a deck, it’s always important to consider what type of style to incorporate. Deck design can become overwhelming with all the colors available in the market, but the process should be fun.
With this Transitional style guide, you’ll be able to determine what color of decking suits your specific style.
Transitional is a mesh of modern and traditional design. Taking elements from both styles creates a comforting, yet tasteful deck design – like combining the features of sleek modern lines with traditional accents and a color scheme that would fit both modern and traditional styles.
Using those two styles as a foundation for this deck design will help you create the perfect Transitional style outdoor living space.
Focusing on our dark brown composite decking colors – Distinction Rustic Walnut, Expression Woodland Bark, and Ridge Premium Black Walnut – these rich browns create a contrast with the light neutral colors of furniture, accent pieces, and the added greenery.
These colors are among our most popular decking colors because of their versatility, and you will continue to see them in many more of our suggested style guides.

In this specific deck design, the transitional deck is represented through the clean lines of the furniture, neutral fabrics, rustic characteristics of the brick and deck boards, along with the carefully structured design.
Rustic Walnut is a great example of Transitional deck design because of the variegated color throughout the boards. The dark chocolate and light creamy brown shades featured in this composite decking emulate a warm cozy feel that a traditional style deck would have but also combines a modern appeal with the design.
Incorporating a style into a deck design can bring a whole home together by bringing the indoors, out. Creating a space that has harmony and structure can turn something like a plain old deck, to a gathering place.
