Your Backyard Deserves More Than a Basic Deck
If your deck is just a few planks of wood and a grill, you’re missing out. A well-designed deck isn’t just an extension of your home—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether you want a space for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or cozy nights under the stars, your outdoor living area should work for you.
At Bella Concepts Remodeling, we design and build custom decks across Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Dillsburg, and surrounding areas. If you’re dreaming of something better out back, these 6 deck design ideas will spark your imagination—and boost your home’s value.
1. Multi-Level Decks for Style and Function
A multi-level deck is perfect for sloped yards or homes that need more structure. Create separate zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining—all without feeling cramped.
Why it works:
- Breaks up large spaces naturally
- Adds architectural interest to your home
- Great for defining different activities (cook, eat, relax)
Bella Tip: Use built-in stairs, lighting, and railings to connect levels seamlessly and safely.
2. Built-In Seating That Saves Space
Instead of buying bulky patio furniture, consider built-in benches or wraparound seating. These features give your deck a clean, custom look while maximizing seating without crowding the space.
Features to consider:
- Hidden storage under benches
- Cushion-ready flat tops
- Curved or corner configurations
Bella Tip: Add built-in planters at the ends of benches for a natural, soft look that blends beautifully with your yard.
3. Covered Spaces for All-Weather Enjoyment
Want to enjoy your deck even when the weather doesn’t cooperate? A covered or partially covered deck gives you the best of both worlds—sun when you want it, shade (or rain protection) when you need it.
Options include:
- Pergolas or pavilions
- Retractable awnings
- Roof extensions
Bella Tip: We can wire your covered area for fans, lighting, and outdoor heaters to extend your outdoor season well into fall.
4. Outdoor Kitchens and Built-In Grills
Take your hosting game to the next level with a deck that doubles as a fully functional kitchen. Whether it’s a simple built-in grill station or a full prep-and-serve setup, this is the ultimate backyard upgrade.
Consider including:
- Counter space and storage
- Bar seating
- Mini fridge or sink
Bella Tip: We’ll help you plan for plumbing, gas, and electrical needs—so everything works like it should.
5. Deck Lighting for Safety and Ambiance
The right lighting can make your deck feel magical—and functional—long after the sun goes down. It’s also key for safety, especially around steps and railings.
Popular deck lighting features:
- Recessed stair lights
- Post-cap lights
- Under-rail LED strips
- Solar-powered accent lights
Bella Tip: Layer your lighting just like you would inside—ambient, task, and accent.
6. Low-Maintenance Materials That Last
Tired of sanding, staining, or replacing boards every few years? Composite decking materials like Trex and TimberTech offer a sleek, durable solution that looks amazing and stands up to the elements.
Benefits:
- No warping, cracking, or splinters
- Resistant to mold and fading
- Available in a wide range of colors and textures
Bella Tip: We’ll help you compare material options based on your lifestyle, budget, and desired look.
