Fall is the perfect season for cozy evenings outdoors, sipping warm drinks under a canopy of shifting leaves. When cooler evenings finally roll into Nashville, patios and porches start earning their keep, but a thoughtfully designed deck can be the real MVP of fall. As the air turns crisp, it’s time to prepare your deck for gatherings, downtime, and scenic beauty. From tailgate watch parties to quiet fireside nights, the right layout, materials, and lighting make your outdoor space comfortable, safe, and easy to maintain all season long. If you’re on the hunt for fresh inspiration, this blog is for you, courtesy of the expert deck contractors at Prestige Remodeling.
With 15+ years of exceptional remodeling and contracting services, Prestige Remodeling stands out among deck contractors in Nashville for our quality craftsmanship, reliable communication, and local expertise. As licensed, bonded, and insured deck contractors serving the Nashville area, our team blends creative design with durable craftsmanship to deliver spaces that look great and last.
Ambient Lighting for Early Sunsets
Shorter days in Nashville call for layered lighting. Consider implementing overhead pendants or string lights for ambience, post-cap or under-rail LEDs for safety, and step lights to prevent trips. Smart, dimmable fixtures let you shift from party mode to low, cozy glows. Be sure to use warm color temperatures between 2700K to 3000K to keep the vibe inviting. These subtle glows set the perfect mood as daylight fades.
Prestige Remodeling recommends using energy-efficient, weatherproof lights suited for Nashville’s climate, and that you point them away from neighbors and bedroom windows so that the community is not disturbed by your nightlife.
Built-In Benches and Storage
Fall means blankets, games, and extra cushions. Benches with lift-up lids can be built into your deck, doubling seating while also allowing you to store pillows and blankets when not in use. These are both practical and sleek, especially when fall storms roll in. Implementing cabinets, shelving, and corners can further improve the storage capabilities of your deck, allowing you to store games, outdoor cooking materials, and backyard tools discreetly.
Prestige Remodeling offers built-in benches that can maximize your seating capacity and storage ability. We recommend working closely with our contractors during the design process so that you can ensure every inch of available space is utilized effectively.

Covered or Screened Areas for Supreme Comfort
If mosquitoes or chilly breezes cut evenings short, consider a screened-in porch or convertible 3-season room off your deck. Deck contractors can integrate screening systems, vinyl panels, or glass to extend use through late fall without a full addition. Integrating screening or panels is an easy way to keep your hot dogs, hamburgers, and guests free of pests and debris during all four seasons.
Prestige Remodeling’s portfolio includes decks, sunrooms, and screened-in porches, ideal for creating that inside-outside flow Nashville homeowners love. We seamlessly blend outdoor access with weather protection to ensure that rain or chill won’t keep you from enjoying nature.
Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features
If fall weekends equal football, plan for power and gas lines for grills, smokers, or a compact outdoor kitchen. Installing a prep counter, weather-safe cabinet, and mini fridge next to cooking areas further reduces traffic and allows for a better flow as you serve guests during the game. Once the sun goes down, food won’t be enough to keep them warm. Consider installing a sleek fire pit or a built-in fireplace to extend your deck’s usability into the colder evenings. The combination of warmth and good-smelling food will entice guests to linger and mingle deep into the autumn nights.
Prestige Remodeling offers multiple outdoor kitchen and fire feature options so that you can make your deck completely your own. We work with you through every step, from design to construction, to make sure your deck meets your highest standards.
Ready to upgrade your deck with a high-quality kitchen, fire feature, or a combination of both? Prestige Remodeling can easily implement these features into your deck. Call us at 615-809-5557 or visit us online to get started with a free quote.
Finishing Touches: Natural Accents and Fall Decor
Our contractors can only build your deck for you; we cannot create the feeling and vibe that comes with your personal touch. If you want to truly embrace the aesthetic of fall, we can offer a few suggestions. Consider incorporating natural elements like potted mums, pumpkins in varying sizes, and leafy garlands on your railings. Anchor zones with outdoor rugs in muted earth tones that hide leaves between sweeps. Combined with a woven outdoor rug, these touches bring warmth and texture.
