Tigerwood Decking Trends: What's Hot in Outdoor Design

Outdoor living spaces are ideal for relaxation, entertainment, and connecting with loved ones. To make these areas more inviting, consider using elegant and high-quality materials like tigerwood decking. This Brazilian hardwood—known for its distinct brown graining pattern resembling tiger stripes—offers an appealing aesthetic at a price point more accessible than ipe. Whether used for an entire deck or as a railing accent alongside an ipe deck, tigerwood adds a striking element to any outdoor space and ensures durability with its resistance to mold and pests.

 

Building with tigerwood - Latest trends in outdoor design

If you're contemplating how to incorporate tigerwood into your outdoor projects, here are some current design trends to inspire you.

 

Oversized decks for enhanced utility

Many new homes come with standard-sized decks, but the trend is shifting towards larger decks to accommodate more frequent use and outdoor gatherings. Tigerwood decking is ideal for such expansions because it offers not only natural beauty but also remarkable hardness, low maintenance, and long-term durability.

 

Sleek railings for a modern touch

Deck railings are a prominent feature and traditionally match the deck's flooring material. Now, the trend is to choose sleeker, less bulky railings in contrasting materials. Tigerwood railings pair exceptionally well with ipe decks, complementing the brown hues and adding a modern twist to your outdoor space.

 

Warm, cozy spaces for outdoor entertaining

To extend the use of your tigerwood deck into cooler months, consider adding a firepit. A custom propane fire table made from tigerwood decking not only maintains a unified aesthetic but also provides the warmth of a traditional fire pit. This versatile feature doubles as a table, enhancing the functionality of your deck throughout the year.

 

Pergolas for semi-shaded areas

Choose a tigerwood pergola instead of a traditional awning or roof. Pergolas allow some sunlight through and offer the flexibility to hang plants, lighting, and other decorative items, adding character and style to your deck.
