Looking to update your home’s exterior without committing to a complete overhaul? Staining your deck is a stylish and impactful way to make a bold statement and refresh your outdoor space.
Colour can completely change the look and feel of your home. When choosing a colour, think about your surroundings, landscape and the architectural style of your home. Consider structural features like roofing, walkways, masonry or natural materials that aren’t slated to change anytime soon. These elements will set the tone for your deck’s colour palette.
Careful planning will help you choose a colour that enhances your home’s overall aesthetic. To help inspire and motivate you, we’ve rounded up the top five deck colour trends for 2024. Whether you’re looking for something bold and modern or classic and understated, these colours will help you transform your deck, boost your home’s overall appeal and make a lasting impression.
Top 5 Colour Trends for Decks in 2024
- Classic Green: A nod to nature and the great outdoors, green is making a comeback. This versatile colour blends seamlessly with lush gardens and wooded areas, creating a harmonious outdoor space. Pairs well with dark wooden siding or brick exteriors for a natural, earthy look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s SharkSkin Solid Hide Deck & Siding Stain in Copper Verde (EX147), Imperial Green (EX151) or Seascape (EX143).
- Cool Blues: Blue tones, ranging from a soft, light blue to a deeper navy, bring a sense of calm and create a relaxing outdoor retreat. Blue decks work well with grey stone masonry and white trim, delivering a fresh, clean look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Steel Blue (EX155), Deepest Water (EX156) or Blueprint (EX161).
- Sophisticated Grey: Grey continues to be a favourite for modern and minimalist styles. It offers a sleek and sophisticated look that works well with a variety of home exteriors including white or neutral-coloured siding and is ideal for a contemporary or classic look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Cape Cod Grey (EX097), Graphite (EX166) or Winter Lake (EX160).
- Bold Black: To create a striking and contemporary appearance, black is the way to go. It adds a dramatic contrast, especially against lighter house colours, making your deck stand out as a bold feature. It goes well with light-coloured siding or natural stone for a stylish, high-contrast look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Ebony (EX024), Wrought Iron (EX167) or Black Oak (EX218).
- Crisp White: White decks are timeless and elegant. They provide a clean and bright look that can make your outdoor space feel larger and more inviting. Works with most colour palettes, but particularly impactful against colourful landscaping or vibrant home accents. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Standard White (EX083), Winter White (EX053) or Artisan White (EX077).
When choosing your deck colour, consider whether you prefer a solid hide or a more translucent finish. While solid colors provide more coverage and durability, translucent finishes can highlight the natural beauty of the wood grain.
