The “cool backyard ideas” is an article that provides 21 stunning deck design ideas for your backyard in 2022. The article includes lots of pictures and the text is written in a way that makes it easy to understand.

Our houses are a source of immense pride for us. However, sitting home every time we get a day off might feel a bit suffocating at times. There are several advantages to having a deck. They provide us with a beautiful, adaptable outside space that allows us to escape the limitations of our homes, raise the value of our properties, and are ideal for entertaining (a bit too many) visitors. Not to mention that they provide a human touch to otherwise desolate backyards ravaged by nature.

Whether you want to build a deck in your barren backyard or remodel the one you already have, we’ve compiled a list of 21 of our best deck design ideas (for both situations) to get you started.

1. Swimming Pool Surrounded by a Wooden Deck

21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Decks can bring leisure to our lives on their own, but this deck, which surrounds a sleek, rectangular pool, truly raises the standard. The deck looks to have two levels and blends in flawlessly with the contemporary residence. The upper level has a minimalistic-styled dining space that is the same height as the pool for convenient access straight out of the home.

The left-hand set of steps goes to a supposedly more extended and decorated room that might be used for a number of purposes, such as a tanning deck, eating area, or bigger sitting space, while the right-hand set of stairs descends to the grassy ground-level.

Without overdoing any design aspects or producing an overly cluttered area, this design is remarkably elegant, homogenous, and clean-cut. This style is ideal for any homeowner who loves an open, uncluttered look or wishes to concentrate on the pool or other landscape aspects.

2. Uplighting on the Staircase Deck

This is a little but charming deck, ideal for individuals who don’t have many visitors or just want a small outside spot to unwind in the mornings and evenings. The absence of illumination from above or from the side of the house is what makes this deck so appealing.

The illumination on this deck is subdued and soothing, coming from strategically placed lights in the wood, especially on the sides of the steps, which illuminate your route, and the deck’s corners. If you don’t have the resources to install lights inside your deck’s stairway, lining the stairwells with weather-resistant rope lights might be a great option.

Another excellent feature of this deck is the little amount of railing that separates the open yard from the sitting area (for privacy), as well as the enormous, red umbrella that provides shade and seclusion on hot days.

3. Contemporary Seating Area on the Deck

This contemporary deck connects the house to a secluded, plant-filled oasis. With its dark, natural wood hue and cool-colored chairs, this deck’s simplicity offers a tranquil setting for the best outdoor relaxation experience imaginable. It is fully isolated from outside annoyances or distractions, and it has a relaxing modern gas fire feature in the middle of the deck.

4. Gray Tone Design on Dark Wood Deck

1647031863_491_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Monochrome decks, such as the dark wood deck with gray tones seen above, are great backgrounds for occasional, brilliantly colored focal points (like the vibrant green plants). Uniformity and single-toned home design is a contemporary motif that has grown in popularity in recent years, owing to its quiet and clean atmosphere.

With the painted brick wall and icy gray stripes on the windows, this gray-toned deck has a significant variance in texture. Though the color palette is consistent, the texture of each wall, furniture item, window, plant, and flooring differs significantly, making this area very outstanding without overdoing patterns or ornamentation.

Wicker Deck #5

1647031865_337_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Wicker furniture has been around for centuries, although it is most often associated with the Victorian era. The wonderful wicker furniture conveys an old-time, domestic atmosphere that has been cherished by many, even if the look of this deck is more modern tropical than Victorian.

With all of the little, interwoven wood pieces (or, more typically in this day and age, synthetic bits), wicker furniture is quite eye-catching, and they are usually neutrally colored, making them excellent for vibrant or patterned cushions.

6. Vinyl Fencing on a Cedar Deck

1647031866_732_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This deck seems like it belongs on the side of a big farmhouse. The colors here are fantastic — dark cedar wood and white vinyl fence to match the home – and they complement each other well. It also seems to be smaller in size, which is ideal for case you just want a little retreat to have breakfast with a few family members or friends.

Aside from the white picket fence, the vinyl fence surrounding the outside edge of the deck is a classic American yard design that gives some seclusion. The neutral hues and umbrella shade complement the basic outdoor furniture, and the pebbles on the side table form a natural décor component that works well in this context.

Garden Deck No. 7

1647031868_578_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This small balcony is in the middle of a lovely, quiet, colorful garden. This deck is for those who appreciate sitting in a calm environment surrounded by beautiful natural creations. It is made out of two black wicker chairs with red cushions that stretch from a covered porch on the side of the house. As you take in the pure air of the sweet-smelling flowers and leaves surrounding you, the enormous red umbrellas give shade.

There isn’t a more relaxing spot to spend your nights.

8. Deck with Chevron Furnishings

1647031869_767_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This deck’s design is busier than others, but if you like chevron patterns, it could be just up your alley. The detailed pattern and beige tone of the wicker chairs are offset by the extravagant decoration of the chevron carpet and cushions on this deck. This deck also employs a gray color scheme to contrast with the other loud designs, as we noted previously.

Another fantastic feature of this deck is the free-standing porch swing, which serves as an unusual, neutral focal point that contrasts with the complex patterns of the rest of the deck while still complementing the brown of the wood deck.

9. Tree on a Tropical Deck

1647031870_183_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Many homeowners discover that nature has already taken over their deck area with a tree or two when they wish to add a deck to their property. Building a deck around a tree is a clever solution to this issue that also gives charm to the outside space.

With the wood and wire fence bordering the outermost section of the deck and the slim-legged, sleek table in the centre of the sitting area, this deck is obviously modern. The sandy tones of the furniture contrasted with the bright red cushions (together with the large plants) create a tropical mood that is guaranteed to soothe any visitor.

10. Emulation Water Feature on Deck

1647031871_911_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This deck design is one of the most (if not the most) intriguing on our list. This deck includes a large sitting space directly outside the home’s glass doors and continues to the rear over a man-made (emulation) stream bed. It’s a fascinating design that is really unique, and it would look fantastic in a large, open yard.

11. Deck Decor in the Style of the 1970s

1647031872_880_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

We’re willing to bet this deck seating arrangement grabbed your attention if you like the extravagant, bright design of the 1970s. The unusual checker-like tables, as well as the plastic or rubber red seats, are unlike anything we’ve seen on a typical deck, and give the place an artistic flair.

12. Design of a Rustic Deck

1647031874_847_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

With its natural and old-timey elements, rustic house design has grown in popularity in recent years. The bamboo screen, Western chair cushions, and repurposed tree stump tables on the terrace above wonderfully exemplify this design. The twine-wrapped old-fashioned glass candle holders contribute to the atmosphere of the room and provide excellent mood lighting in the evenings.

13. Deck Railing in a Woodland Style

1647031875_220_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This easy-to-make deck railing is ideal for people with a lot of trees (and sticks) on their property. This design would look fantastic on a cabin or other rural property. It seems to be a simple, cost-effective deck addition that you can create yourself, and the unusual design is guaranteed to catch your guests’ attention.

14. Relaxing Shaded Deck

1647031876_887_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This delicate shaded deck with vibrant furnishings is reminiscent of the orange tones of creamsicles and provides for the ideal backyard hideaway. The vibrant oranges, reds, creams, and yellows provide a touch of summer to any event, no matter the season, while the sweet-scented flowers give the environment a relaxing, breezy aroma.

The plant-lined railing provides flair to this deck area while also providing seclusion.

15. Elegant Pergola on a Raised Deck

1647031878_799_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This secluded terrace with a clipped pergola is a fantastic place to relax. Despite the fact that the pergola does not cover the whole deck, it provides partial shade and conceals the view from a certain region outside of the deck area. If you want to partly hide your deck from your neighbors, this is a great option.

16. Cozy Deck with Bunny Decor and Rocking Chair

1647031879_648_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

We all yearn for the comforts of home now and again, and this deck will bring back memories of our parents’ and grandparents’ houses. From the white deck railing and charming rabbit figurines to the fake hydrangea baskets and cushioned wicker rocking rocker, this deck exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere that we won’t soon forget.

17. Intricately Detailed Pergola on Exotic Deck

1647031881_765_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Colorful, exotic, and full of character and detail, this tropical deck on the side of an aqua-colored building is bright, exotic, and full of character and detail. The pergola is adorned with what seems to be magnificent Mexican Tile, and a fan with lovely leaf-shaped blades sits in the middle. To lighten the night, colored lights are wrapped around the pergola beams, and natural-looking wooden furniture covers the floor.

This area would be ideal for somebody who like the tropics and all that comes with them.

18. Intriguing Entrance to a Covered Deck

1647031882_87_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

We felt the entry to this deck was very fascinating and worth mentioning on our list, despite the fact that the deck itself is empty except from the autumn leaves. A sliding glass door with two opening windows to the right (or left, depending on where you’re standing) serves as the entry. This gives the entryway a weird, uneven aspect that would be perfect for an eccentric’s house.

19. Black Wicker and Velvet Deck Lounge in Style

1647031883_441_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

This is unquestionably a deck for the ladies. You can’t get much sassier than this, from the pink rhinestone and gray velvet pillows to the black wicker furniture with black glass table tops. The deck furniture is big enough to accommodate all of your friends (or at least a huge number of them), and the elegant white table lamps complete the striking design.

20. Modern Fireplace with Glass Railing on a Deck

1647031885_316_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

Outside of an apartment building, this opulent deck may be found. With the light colored wicker love chairs and wooden benches, there’s still plenty of sitting capacity, even though it’s small (to the bottom left of the photo). The surrounding glass barrier allows for an unobstructed view of the natural surroundings, and the lovely contemporary stone fireplace adds to the space’s rich mood.

21. Skylights on a Luxury Contemporary Deck

1647031886_709_21-Stunning-Deck-Design-Ideas-for-Your-Backyard-in-2022

If you have a large budget for a deck, this opulent deck with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and skylights may be precisely what you’ve been looking for. This terrace is surrounded on all sides by magnificent black iron railings and seems to open out to the backyard behind the fireplace. It’s sparsely furnished, but with the elaborate carvings in the fireplace and the lovely wooden ceiling, we doubt this would be an issue for most people.

The seclusion provided by the enormous bushes (as well as the fireplace) is excellent, and the contrast between the stone, concrete, wood, and wicker textures is detailed and eye-catching without being too visually overpowering.

Last but not least,

One of the finest ways to customize your backyard and enhance the accessible living space of your property is to build a deck (or renovate one that you built 10 years ago). Your home gatherings will become more spread out and less crowded with a deck, your property worth will rise if you decide to sell, and you’ll have a nice outside space to be proud of.

Hopefully, these lovely deck design ideas have piqued your interest and inspired you to get to work!
