What Is Decking Design?

Decking design refers to the planning, layout, and customisation of outdoor decking structures, ensuring they are both visually appealing and practical. 

A well-designed deck enhances garden landscapes, patios, balconies, and rooftop terraces, creating a stylish and functional extension of your living space. 

With options in materials, layouts, colours, and integrated features, decking design allows for fully personalised outdoor spaces suited to both private and commercial environments.

How Much Does Decking Design and Installation Cost?

Basic timber decking starts at £50 per square metre.

Premium hardwood and composite decking range from £80 to £150 per square metre. 

Multi-level or custom-designed decks with bespoke finishes, lighting, and built-in seating can cost £200+ per square metre. 

The cost of decking design depends on the materials, layout complexity, and additional features. 

Our team at Luxury Decking offers fully tailored quotes, ensuring a design that meets both aesthetic and budget requirements.

What Are the Benefits of a Well-Designed Deck?

A professionally designed deck enhances outdoor living, improves property value, and creates a versatile, stylish space tailored to specific needs.

Key benefits include:

• Maximises Outdoor Space and Functionality – A well-planned deck provides extra living space for relaxation, dining, or entertaining.

• Enhances Aesthetic Appeal – Custom layouts, premium materials, and stylish finishes elevate the beauty of any outdoor area.

• Increases Property Value – High-quality decking is a valuable addition that improves kerb appeal and boosts resale potential.

• Allows for Personalisation and Unique Features – Integrated lighting, seating, planters, and pergolas create a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience.

• Ensures Durability and Long-Term Use – Professionally designed decks use top-grade materials and expert construction techniques for longevity.

Do I Need a Permit to Build a Deck?

In most areas, a permit is required if the deck is more than 12 inches above ground level. 

It's essential to check with your local permit and inspection office, as regulations can vary.

What Types of Decking Designs Are Available?

At Luxury Decking, we offer a wide range of custom decking designs to suit different styles and purposes. 

Modern minimalist decking features clean lines, neutral tones, and contemporary materials like composite or aluminium. 

Traditional timber decking brings warmth and natural beauty, ideal for classic garden landscapes. 

Multi-level decking adds depth and dimension, perfect for hilly terrains or entertainment areas. 

Decking with built-in features, such as LED lighting, seating areas, and glass balustrades, enhances both functionality and aesthetics. 

Every design is tailored to your space, vision, and lifestyle needs.

How Do I Choose the Right Decking Material for My Design?

The choice of decking material depends on aesthetics, durability, and maintenance preferences. 

Hardwood decking, such as teak or ipe, provides a rich, natural look and high durability but requires regular maintenance. 

Composite decking offers a wood-like finish with minimal upkeep, making it ideal for modern, low-maintenance designs. 

Aluminium decking is fire-resistant, slip-resistant, and highly durable, perfect for commercial projects and high-traffic areas. 

Our design team helps clients select the best material to match their vision and lifestyle.

Can Decking Design Include Integrated Features?

Modern decking design incorporates a variety of built-in features to enhance functionality and style. 

Popular additions include LED lighting for ambience and safety, built-in seating for space efficiency, planters for greenery, and glass or metal balustrades for a sleek finish. 

Many homeowners also opt for pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits, transforming their deck into a complete outdoor living space.

Does Decking Design Require Planning Permission?

In most cases, decking design does not require planning permission if the deck is at ground level and within permitted development guidelines. 

However, raised or multi-level decking, or decks in conservation areas or listed properties, may require local authority approval. 

Our team at Luxury Decking provides expert guidance on compliance, regulations, and any necessary permits.

What Are the Latest Trends in Decking Design?

Current decking design trends focus on luxury finishes, multi-functional layouts, and eco-friendly materials. 

Many clients are opting for composite decking in sleek, contemporary tones, while others prefer wide-plank timber decking for a high-end aesthetic. 

Multi-level decks with zoning for dining, lounging, and entertaining are increasingly popular, along with integrated LED lighting, frameless glass railings, and biophilic design elements such as built-in planters and natural wood textures.
