Natural wood is a classic for a reason. The organically textured surface adds instant warmth and a storied feel to anywhere it is used. Demi Moore's Scandinavian style patio is no exception.
We spotted the actress's deck idea in the background of an early morning Instagram post. Demi stands on a surface of her medium-stained wood patio. The wide planks of her floor stretch towards a coordinating house, featuring white walls with slats of wood laid horizontally across. The deck's surface coordinates with her patio furniture, which is all warm wood, except for a blue umbrella and turquoise cushions on the dining chairs.
If you're seeking patio ideas, Demi's is absolutely perfect. 'Wooden decks have a timeless charm—straight lines, rich texture, and warm organic beauty that no other material can replicate,' explains Sergey Mashkov, design and construction expert. 'When wooden patio designs are done correctly, they will never go out of style as they comfortably balance functionality with warmth.'
This garden bench looks so much more expensive than it really is. Woven with rust-and weather-resistant materials, this is sure to be a long-lasting fixture on your patio for comfortable lounging.
Crafted with a mix of kiln-dried solid and engineered wood, this beautiful wooden table has a striking organic shape. I love how it adds a hint of warm wood to any outdoor scheme.
This beautifully shaped side table or foot stool would complement an outdoor design perfectly. I love the highly visible grains for an extra natural feel.
Furthermore, the appeal of Demi's backyard idea goes beyond its look; it's also superior in terms of functionality. Mashkov explains: 'Apart from the aesthetic appeal, a well-built wooden deck has a naturally slip-resistant surface, excellent heat dissipation (in contrast to composite, which will scald your feet in the sun), and can be refinished rather than replaced if it starts to age visibly. Yes, wooden furniture required a considerable amount of maintenance, but if you want something that looks great and lasts, that's the ultimate trade-off.'
Wooden outdoor furniture is the perfect pairing with an organic deck, as seen on Demi Moore's home. This cohesive and pleasing look would work with any home. Mashkov states: 'Pairing a wooden deck with matching wooden furniture is a classic move that enhances cohesion and aesthetic flow.'
He advises: 'The key is selecting wood species that balance longevity with appearance. Hardwoods like white oak or teak age gracefully and withstand the elements better than softer woods like cedar, which, while charming, dents easily. If the goal is a natural, weathered look, cypress is a great option, especially in more humid climates.'
Natural wood has been used as a design material for thousands of years, and it will continue to be used for the next thousand. When it comes to patio design, nothing compares.
