WPC Composite Decking Ideas & Designs

When beginning to plan out your garden composite decking, sometimes it is hard to figure out where to start. Thankfully, there is a huge range of composite decking ideas and composite deck designs from finished projects to serve as inspiration. More and more of our customers are adopting unique, stylish ways to create their own outdoor spaces.

With our range of composite decking, there are many design options available, making it easier than ever for you to customise your space to your own specification. Below, we outline all the creative composite decking ideas that you can incorporate into your garden project.

Mix Your Colour Options

With our wide range of colours available, there is nothing to say you cannot mix and match different coloured composite deck boards to create a unique and interesting take on your garden composite decking. Mixing your colours can help create focal points in your garden, accentuating the features you want to draw attention to. If you are struggling to choose what colours to use, consider the colours of any existing or planned garden furniture to try and contrast your desired aesthetic.

Mixing Decking Finishes

Our reversible composite decking allows you to be far more selective with your composite deck design. You can choose between an authentic woodgrain or a contemporary grooved finish. A popular design choice is that of picture framing; the process of framing the woodgrain deck boards with an outer layer of the grooved finish. This helps to give your composite decking a neat, considered look.

Get Creative With Laying Patterns

Consider exactly how you lay your deck boards, as you can create interesting laying patterns for your garden space this way. The most traditional pattern is laying your boards uniformly, but a striking herringbone or diagonal composite deck design are a modern alternative way to give your composite decking a striking finish.

Make Your Steps A Statement

Sloping gardens can be an awkward hurdle to plan any garden project. As a result, steps are often a necessary consideration for your composite decking build. Thankfully, there are several different composite decking ideas and solutions to try. Cascading steps are a particularly popular feature for deck builds, by simply having your steps wrap around the edge of your deck.

Create A Tiered Deck Area

As well as adding steps, a tiered deck area can be a genius composite decking design idea for navigating around sloping gardens. Additionally, it can help small spaces feel much larger than they are by separating your garden into different zones. Creativity can often spring from your limitations; we think that having a small garden should not get in the way of creating something truly transformative.

Incorporate Curves

Like traditional timber, our composite decking boards are very easy to cut. Gardens won’t necessarily fit to stringent parallel lines, so why not add more curved edges to your decking to match this? Curved edges can give your garden a more natural aesthetic. You could seamlessly fit your composite decking around existing garden features, such as flower beds, water features and rockery.

Join The Indoors & Out

When making the most of your outdoor space, ideally, you want your new composite decking to feel like a natural addition to your home. The beauty of composite decking is its ability to bridge the gap between the indoors and outdoors. With the help of bi-fold doors and contemporary furniture, the transition is often seamless and breathes a whole new life into your outdoor space.

Deck Around A Pergola

A pergola is a perfect way for your decking to feel more like a permanent outdoor room. We all like to enjoy our garden space, but we are all at the mercy of the elements. If the sun is too hot, it is always great to have the option of shade when sitting outside! With a composite pergola, you can better enjoy the space your composite decking provides no matter the weather, perfect for an outdoor read or sunbathe.

Deck Outside Your Garden Room

The post-lockdown era has seen a rise in working from home and the desire to have more space in our homes to do the things we love. As a result, garden rooms have become an incredibly popular, modern addition to help give your outdoor spaces more character. To often supplement the authentic cladding used, composite decking works perfectly as a perimeter of these outhouses, resistant to the elements, whilst still maintaining that natural look.

Deck Around A Hot Tub Or Swimming Pool

Adding a swimming pool or a hot tub is a sure-fire way to get constant usage from your garden. However, constant usage also equates to more wear and tear. Thankfully, surrounding your water features with composite decking allows for a longer lasting, weatherproof solution to the timber alternative. Our decking is also slip resistant, an essential consideration for anyone excitably running around a pool!

Build Around Planting

There is no greater designer than the natural world, so why not customise your composite deck with a colourful planting theme? Framing your decking with planters is a fantastic way to give your space a more vivid pop of colour. Populating your decking with plants can help it blend into your garden and help tie your space together perfectly.

Incorporate Lighting

Illuminating your deck is a sure-fire way of maximising its potential. NeoTimber’s integral decking lights can be used to sit into your composite decking boards to create an eye-catching perimeter. A host of other options, such as lanterns, solar-powered options or mains-powered lighting options can be used to truly light up your deck area.
