Weathered Timber Deck Under Pergola

Weathered wood decking supports an outdoor lounge under a pergola, looking across hydrangeas and dune grass toward a cedar shingle beach house bordered by a gravel path.

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

  • The paving material and how its joints are handled
  • Whether the furniture footprint fits with room to move
  • Shade at 4 pm, not just at noon
