As we head into 2025, homeowners continue to seek innovative ways to enhance their outdoor living spaces. Deck design trends are evolving to meet the demand for functionality, style, and year-round usability.
At Thunderstruck Restorations, LLC, we stay at the forefront of these trends, offering cutting-edge designs that are built to last. Whether you're dreaming of a multi-level deck or an outdoor kitchen, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life.
As a certified TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we deliver high-quality craftsmanship and access to the best materials available.
Let’s dive into the top five deck design trends for 2025 and explore how Thunderstruck Restorations can incorporate these trends into your next project.
1. Multi-Level Decks for Maximizing Space
Multi-level decks are becoming a popular choice for homeowners who want to create distinct areas for lounging, dining, and entertaining. These decks offer greater functionality by separating spaces for different activities, making your outdoor area feel more organized and expansive.
At Thunderstruck Restorations, we excel at creating multi-level decks that flow seamlessly with your home’s layout and landscape. Whether you want to add an elevated section for a dining area or a lower platform for a hot tub, we’ll design a custom deck solution tailored to your needs. We use high-quality fasteners and hardware, and our decks are built on durable helical piles to ensure long-lasting stability.
As a TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we specialize in premium composite decking, which is perfect for multi-level designs. Trex and Deckorators offer materials that are low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and available in a variety of colors to suit any style. Our multi-level decks can be customized with railings, built-in lighting, and other features to create a unique space you’ll enjoy for years to come.
2. Outdoor Kitchens and Entertainment Areas
In 2025, outdoor kitchens are transforming backyards into the ultimate entertainment hub. These fully functional kitchens allow you to prepare meals, grill, and entertain guests without having to go indoors. Combined with a spacious deck, an outdoor kitchen provides a seamless flow between your indoor and outdoor living areas.
At Thunderstruck Restorations, we can integrate an outdoor kitchen into your deck design, complete with weather-resistant countertops, cabinetry, and built-in grills. Our custom decks are built to accommodate outdoor appliances and create ample space for dining and entertaining.
As a TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we have access to materials that are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing. Trex and Deckorators decking is designed to withstand the elements, making it ideal for outdoor kitchens. We can also incorporate lighting and electrical outlets into your deck design, so your outdoor kitchen remains functional, even after the sun sets.
3. Built-In Seating and Storage
Built-in seating is a trend that offers both style and functionality. Instead of cluttering your deck with furniture, built-in seating provides a sleek, integrated solution. Whether it’s a cozy bench along the perimeter of your deck or a full seating area around a fire pit, built-in options save space and add a custom touch.
Thunderstruck Restorations can design decks with built-in seating that blends seamlessly with your outdoor space. We’ll also add built-in storage areas under benches or deck steps, giving you a convenient place to stow cushions, gardening tools, and outdoor accessories.
As a TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we offer high-quality composite materials that match the style and durability of your deck. Both Trex and Deckorators decking come in a variety of finishes that complement your home’s architecture while offering low-maintenance solutions for built-in features.
4. Privacy Screens for a More Intimate Space
With many homeowners seeking more privacy in their outdoor areas, privacy screens have become a must-have deck feature. Privacy screens not only block out unwanted views but also add a sense of coziness and seclusion to your deck, turning it into a private retreat.
At Thunderstruck Restorations, we design custom privacy screens that match your deck’s overall style. Whether you prefer a modern lattice design, sleek horizontal slats, or a natural wood look, we can create the perfect privacy solution for your space. Privacy screens also serve as an ideal backdrop for adding greenery, vines, or outdoor lighting.
As a certified TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we use durable composite materials that complement your deck and require minimal upkeep. We can even add lighting to your privacy screen, enhancing the ambiance and making your outdoor area enjoyable day and night.
5. Pergolas for Shade and Style
Pergolas continue to be a popular trend for homeowners looking to add shade and architectural interest to their decks. A pergola not only creates a visually appealing focal point but also provides a shaded area to escape the sun. Pergolas can be customized with retractable canopies, climbing plants, and integrated lighting for added functionality.
At Thunderstruck Restorations, we design and install pergolas that blend seamlessly with your deck’s design. Whether you want a small pergola over a seating area or a large structure spanning an entire outdoor kitchen, we’ll create a stunning addition to your deck.
As a TrexPro and Deckorators Certified Pro, we use high-quality composite materials that match your deck and withstand harsh weather conditions. With a pergola, you’ll not only add shade but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.
