As experienced deck contractors, we know that one size deck does not fit all. Large decks don’t fit all backyards, all outdoor living styles, or all budgets.
As experienced deck designers, we have the inside scoop on what makes a small deck feel more spacious. Through thoughtful design choices, Archadeck of Nashville can ensure that your small deck will have maximum impact – both in aesthetics and usefulness.
Whether you’re considering a wood or composite deck for your Nashville area home, our designers know how to make the best use of your space and your budget. Following are a few ways that we can work with you to create your ideal deck design.

Minimalist Deck Railing Choices
Deck railings come in an array of styles, materials, and finishes – and each will affect how open your deck feels. Just the right deck railing style can make all the difference for your small deck design. The best choice for an open feel will allow for unobstructed sightlines across your backyard. This deck is long, but narrow, and a glass deck railing was a fantastic choice for these homeowners, as they allow the deck to feel like a part of the pool patio area.

Strategic Deck Layout
The shape and orientation of your deck can also make an immense difference in how spacious it feels, and how it works within the available landscape. Here, you’ll see a smaller elevated grill deck on a sloped yard, where we were able to expand the total footprint by adding a stair that drops down to a larger deck. Even though the height of the ground-level deck required the use of railings on three sides, a good portion of the space was left open with direct access to the backyard.

Built-in Seating Plus Seamless Flow
Other factors that can make a smaller deck feel spacious include using every available inch by building in seating and creating an open flow between the home and deck – and between the deck and the backyard. A wide double staircase enhances the spacious feel of this deck and introduces an additional way to customize the overall design with a built-in planter box. And close neighbors are no problem with the addition of a custom privacy wall.
