Covered Beach House Deck with Outdoor Kitchen
This coastal beach house features a covered timber deck beneath a cedar shingle roof, incorporating a stone outdoor kitchen, cable railings, and surroundings of blooming hydrangeas and dune grass.
Design notes
Coastal design lets the light do the work. Look for weathered cedar shingle and white trim, bleached or grey decking, cable or rope railings, and a palette of sand, driftwood and sea-glass. Planting is grasses, hydrangeas, beach roses and anything that tolerates salt and wind; furniture is teak or wicker with white cushions. Keep surfaces matte and colours pale, and the mood stays breezy even miles from the shore.
What to look for
- Board direction and how it changes the apparent size
- Edges: built-in benches and planters instead of rail where allowed
- Stairs wide enough to double as seating
