This is a great option, particularly if your deck will have a beautiful view from multiple angles. A curved deck can help you view the outdoor scenery from a range of perspectives. Plus, a curved deck is unique and visually appealing.
Modern Dark Wood
Choosing dark wood for your decking can give your deck a warm tone and a modern, minimalist feel. It can make your deck feel welcoming and inviting. You can also use this warm tone on your railings with a warm-tone stain for a consistent feel.
Awnings
An awning can help provide a more comfortable space for you and others on the deck. It provides a measure of protection from rainfall and the glaring hot sun. If the awning is easily removable or if it is adjustable, you can control when to have it in place or when to allow the sun to shine on your deck without any covering.
