Fun Deck Pattern Ideas
Traditional Patterns
In the U.S., you can find various traditional patterns in brickwork and woodwork. Two such patterns are Herringbone and Chevron. Herringbone is a pattern of interlocking boards that meet at a 45-degree angle. It looks like the boards are braided together. The Chevron pattern looks like the feathers at the end of an arrow. Divided by one straight deck board, the other boards streak out diagonally and symmetrically. It helps create two outdoor living zones.
Simple Border
Another option is the picture frame pattern. The boards that make up the deck floor can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, but they are bordered by a “picture frame” border. This border can be a different color from the center boards. It is simple but elegant.
Zone Outliners
You can also use framing deck boards to delineate zones. For example, you could create two picture frames within one. Your deck’s outdoor living zones could even have concentric frames from the middle to the edge. These boards could be all the same color or take on different tones.
Two-Toned Emblems
Perhaps the most creative option of all is the create an image on the wood deck’s surface. It could be an emblem, like a geometric pattern, or it could be a butterfly, a religious symbol, or a star. The options are endless.
