Building a new deck involves several factors that can influence its design and function. In addition to its purpose and the type of material it is made of, you’ll also have to determine the right color for it, as it will affect the visual appeal of your property as a whole. Here are a few tips to consider:
Draw Inspiration From Your Landscape
Your surrounding yard and landscape can often give you a few hints on what color to choose for your new deck. For instance, if the landscape is mostly green with a few trees, you can choose red, orange, or other similar hues to complement the dominant color. You can also consider the color of the indoor flooring so that it matches your deck. If you have several different flowers and plants all over the place, your deck can be of any neutral color such as gray or brown for a more balanced vibe.
Consider Your Chosen Deck Material
The material you choose is usually a major factor in finding the right color for your new deck. Hardwood materials such as redwood or cedar need to be stained properly so they won’t easily warp and crack. A wide selection of stain colors can be used for your project and they range from natural colors to deep browns, reds, and grays. You can also consider composite and synthetic decking materials since they’re also available in different colors and textures that suit any type of home.
Pick a Color from Your Home Exterior
Most decks are designed to blend with the rest of the home’s exteriors. But if you haven’t decided on a color yet, consider picking one from any existing shades on your siding, trim, and other exterior design elements. A color scheme that can accent your home’s facade can easily make your deck stand out while also enhancing the rest of the exterior colors.
