This deck does an amazing job of extending the home’s modern, classy indoor styling outwards, making the deck a cohesive, consistent part of the home’s overall living space. Here’s how to get the look:

How To Get This Look
What makes this look really stand out is the cool combination of the modern and the traditional. This deck combines the very classic look of composite deck railing with the super-modern cable infill. Following that style, the decking is modern, low-maintenance PVC. But it shows up in a traditional wood color with very organic-looking streaking. Let’s break it down piece by piece.
#1 & #2 TimberTech RadianceRail With Feeney CableRail
Composite deck railing creates the very solid, substantial look you see in this deck’s posts and rails - the idea is to mimic the very natural look and style of pressure-treated wood. (TimberTech RadianceRail is a great example). But you can also pair the TimberTech posts and rails with a Feeney CableRail infill, an exquisite, modern style of deck railing.
The result is a pretty unique mash-up of styles that looks amazing in this modern setting. Choosing black as the deck railing color ties the railing itself to the home’s sleek black trim. The TimberTech RadianceRail With Feeney CableRail combo, sold as a complete package from DecksDirect, also allows you to use a deck board as a drink rail, further tying the railing to the decking stylistically.

One huge reason this black-and-brown combination looks so amazing is that the multi-tonal decking already has some dark brown and black streaking in it. That’s a massive advantage of TimberTech Advanced PVC Vintage decking, which has a huge range of colors combined into each board.
TimberTech Advanced PVC Vintage is incredibly high-quality decking: the PVC material is highly durable and completely resists water damage, while the multi-tonal looks are among the most visually appealing you’ll find on the market. DecksDirect carries all five TimberTech Advanced PVC Vintage decking colors, and we can help you find the perfect decking and railing match from our selection.
Pro tip: Vintage decking is also available in multiple widths - that means options for narrow or extra-wide boards for cool deck board patterns. A major bonus: narrow-width boards look amazing as a cocktail rail on top of your railing.
#4 TimberTech Advanced PVC Vintage Fascia & Riser Boards In English Walnut
Another big part of what makes this deck look and feel so polished and cohesive is the matching fascia boards and stair riser boards. Fascia boards cover the vertical surfaces around your deck, and are thinner and lighter than horizontal deck boards to install better vertically.
This deck also shows the big advantage of working with a deck-specific project planning company like DecksDirect. We’ve got fascia boards to match any shade of TimberTech decking. Plus, we’ve got dedicated fastener systems created specifically for fascia boards, in-stock and ready to ship. And with an experienced deck project planner just a phone call away, you can plan your project down to the tiniest detail. For example, our project planners can help you get the perfect mix of materials for your deck stairs - which typically use deck boards as stair treads and specially-designed riser or fascia boards for the riser sections.
#5 TimberTech Low Voltage LED Riser Light
A deck this incredible needs lighting - it’d be a shame to limit deck time to daylight hours with a space this well-designed. Thankfully, it’s easy to build lighting into a deck plan with the right guidance. This deck uses TimberTech’s low-profile, Low Voltage LED Riser Lights to make sure every step on the deck is safely illuminated. Take note of the small step up from the front landing to the seating area - it’s important to plan lighting into any height change like that to keep guests from stumbling in the dark.

This deck shows off one more cool trend. Composite and PVC deck boards have become so durable and beautiful that deck designers are finding new ways to use them. This deck builds PVC deck boards and fascia boards into a bench around the perimeter of one deck section. That’s amazing for both form and function - with such a long bench, the deck’s seating capacity expands dramatically, and the bench itself makes a gorgeous accent piece.
