Have you dream about a Perfect Outdoor Gathering space where you can share food and telling story together with your family or friends…? Here I show you some best Decks and Patios design ideas as source of your inspiration. At the picture above is an Adaptable Deck Designed by Robert Hursthouse, it’s a versatile outdoor space which offers three different types of entertaining areas, depending on the weather: a gathering spot around the fire pit, a deck for sunny afternoons and an enclosed gazebo.

Creekside Timber Pergola design
Creekside Retreat Designed by Dan Berger, this timber pergola provides a restful oasis beside a creek. Rock walls and plants help define the space.
Semi-enclosed Shelter design
Dan Berger have designed this semi-enclosed space offers protection for outdoor diners, Sheltered from wind yet open to the garden.
Open-air Cabana
Completed by designer Shane LeBlanc, this open-air cabana is the headquarters for outdoor grilling and dining for a large family. The hardscaping project also included a super-sized pool and bleachers for an existing basketball court. The kitchen countertop was custom-made on site and hand-colored to replicate real stone.
Charming island patio Design
Patio Getaway Designed by Scott Cohen, this charming “island” patio is surrounded by a water feature and arched bridges.
Outdoor dining terrace and Fire pit
Landscape designer Gelinda Backman was charged to built this Enchanted Landscape by the homeowners with the task of incorporating “enchanted” and “ancient” aspects into the makeover of a wooded backyard. A dining terrace and fire pit surrounded by stone walls are focal points of a landscape that also includes a rain garden, winding pathways and a koi pond.
Water park in the Backyard
Landscape designer Derrick Meek demolished the eyesore, keeping only the retaining walls and camouflaging them with trees, this large home came with a code-violating, half-finished water park in the backyard. The back walls contain large “picture frames” which, with their stone inlays, help break up the wall. The back door of the house now leads to an oversized entertainment patio and an even larger pool.
Outdoor Private Playspace Design
Private Playspace-Whether it’s for roasting marshmallows with the kids or grown-up entertaining, the fireplace often becomes the outdoor gathering spot for the family. A new retaining wall on the steep slope provided the terrain for this patio and new lawn. A berm of cryptomeria trees will provide privacy from the neighbors. Designed by landscape architect Mark Schisler.
Outdoor Pizza Kitchen Design
The focal point of this new outdoor kitchen is a wood-fired pizza oven imported from Italy. The 36″ oven turned out to have a 52″ base, so landscape architect Mark Schisler had to move the counters three feet to accommodate it. The oven is covered with a stone veneer, rather than real stone, to save more space.
Western-style Patio Design
Western Outdoors, an extra-large fountain and a Western-style fireplace are the focal points of this patio; the design and materials create a seamless extension of living space for the home. Design by Scott Cohen.

I treat my patio like an extension of the house, so the style fits warmly with the house décor. I have dark cherry furniture inside so I choose to keep with the warm feel and bought wrought iron patio furniture and used earth tone covers for the patio chairs.
