THEDECK of DREAMSA well-designed deck

should combine comfort, intimacy,

and functionality while looking as inviting as possible. If it’s well organized, it will be an indispensable place for relaxing and entertaining friends.

Think about how you want to use the space. For relaxation, choose a banquette with big cushions, attractive chairs, a hammock, or a hanging seat. A

small table will add functionality to this space. If you’re more interested in creating a dining area, choose a versatile table and opt for long benches rather than chairs. You’ll maximize the available space and be able to entertain more people.

For a deck with a country look, choose traditional materials, such as wrought iron, wood, or bamboo, combined with accessories in soft, natural colours. For a more contemporary decor, choose furnishings in teak or composite and be daring with colours.

For the finishing touch, place hanging plants, potted plants, or even climbing plants in stra tegic positions. You could flowers in colours that harmonize with your decor.
