We love offering deck design tips to help you design your dream outdoor space! A deck is an enjoyable place for friends and family. From cooking out to relaxing with a book it can be a place for a party or a place for relaxation. What could make a deck design even better? Perhaps a little privacy is just what you need. So, below are 7 deck design tips for adding privacy to your deck!
Pocket Gardens
Our first deck design tip is to add a pocket garden. Whether you buy a pocket garden or make one, it’s a simple and unique way to add privacy. Simply hang it, and you’ll have your very own garden. You’ll also enjoy having added privacy to your deck.
Pergola
A pergola works the same way as a tree. It adds just the right amount of shade and privacy to your deck design. It’s the perfect addition to your deck for those hot summer days.
Curtains
The great thing about a curtain is its versatility regarding your deck design. Curtains come in a variety of sizes and colors, so you’re in control of your decor and the amount of privacy you want for your deck.
Plants/Flowers/Shrubbery
Another great deck design tip for adding privacy to your deck is to add plants. For those that have a green thumb, flowers and plants are a fun way to add privacy. Choose your favorite flowers, plants, and shrubbery and add as little or as much privacy as you want!
Canopy
Awnings and canopies come in all types of shapes and styles! A canopy offers privacy from second story onlookers. Also, it protects you from the hot sun.
Trellis
The wonderful thing about a trellis is the privacy it provides without restricting daylight or airflow. Add a bench like the homeowners did in the photo featured above for a day of privacy and relaxation.
Gazebo
And lastly. adding a gazebo is our final deck design tip. A gazebo is a beautiful way to add privacy while also incorporating shade and even a sitting area.
