Top 50 Best Modern Deck Ideas – Contemporary Backyard Designs

With long summer days and unhurried nights enticing us outdoors, the patio has arguably been rendered the stage upon which we set our seasonal scene.

Armed with a drink and good book or a company of friends, the patio is both a haven and superior shelter for entertaining.

Here is where you can show off the best your home has to offer, and invite guests into your personally curated corner of the world.

The modern deck is both of the times and yet timelessly classic; after all, perfection rarely needs an upgrade. However, the right materials and structural schemes will enhance your home’s modern inspiration, be it Pacific chic or East Coast mod, and ensure years of high performance come rain or shine.

Inlaid plants, ingenious seating arrangements, and even a built-in barbeque are surefire additions that will set your deck apart from the rest of the neighborhood. Attached to your house or free-standing (also known as a floating deck), few will question whose backyard abode is running the summertime show.

We all want to be welcomed into a space that is both well-made and nothing short of a joy to inhabit. Your outdoor deck may honor centuries of pastime sensibilities, but none will mistake the modern man behind his equally modern deck.

Year-round bliss is but a beat away thanks to these gorgeously crafted modern deck ideas, and yours can be had in no time–or perhaps just in time to make this summer the most memorable one yet?
