Two of the reasons we most frequently hear from people who don’t enjoy outdoor spaces are “too much sun” and “too much rain.” One of the easiest ways to fix both of those concerns is a two story traditional deck. The top story offers direct sunlight and the ground level is covered for shade and protection from other elements (like the weather).

Another way to add pops of color to your outdoor living space includes landscaping like shrubbery, blooming trees, and flower beds. For those looking to add even more color to their space, selecting colorful curtains and door or shutter paint can add personality!
Adding greenery to this traditional deck design to contrast the earth tones of the stone facade melded to add a timelessness to the space. White railing and columns are also a very classic look, especially combined with a neutral decking color and material.
