All You Need to Know About Backyards and Roof Decks

If you are lucky enough to have a Roof Deck or a Backyard, you need to remember that these places are not just a part of your house, they are also part of your lifestyle. Whether in the city, or the suburbs, Roof Decks and Backyards add value to your property. Roof Decks are a great way to create a serene space to relax after work or on weekends or to have a get together BBQ.

Roof decks are mostly found in cities due to the lack of space but even if you have a patio or outdoor space, you should consider some rooftop decor for that area to lounge in.

Types of Roof Deck

The first step to put together a beautiful roof deck is to determine the purpose of your space. You can choose from these following options depending on your needs

Lounge Area: Most people in cities use Roof Decks as a lounging area. If your goal is to have a lounge area, you should consider adding a lot of creative seating options, fireplace, throw in some pillows and cushions or some eye catching round table.
Garden on terrace: This newest trend of rooftop garden is not just good for aesthetics but it also protects your roof deck from wear and tear. Second, they also help insulate your home which saves money on heating and cooling.
Dining Space: If you are someone who craves outdoor dining, this is your opportunity to shine! You’ll basically just need a good dining table and you can add a bar and BBQ
Pool/Jacuzzi: Many people in the city enjoy a pool or Jacuzzi on their rooftop so they can relax by the pool with a great view. Setting this up might not be easy since you’ll need to hire someone to do this but if you like a Hollywood lifestyle, go for it.
Hybrid: Some can’t be satisfied with just one use of their roof deck so they’ll create a hybrid like garden and dining or pool and dining or more!

I love that you pointed out that having a deck for dining outside is a great idea. As you said, you can just add a good dining table and bar, and you’re done. It definitely sparked an interest in me, and I might consider having a deck in the garden area by next year. It would be a great bonding experience when my parents and in-laws visit from time to time.
