Choosing the Right Colour and Finish for Your Decking

1. Consider Your Home’s Exterior

Start by examining the exterior of your home. Your decking should complement the colours and materials already present. If your home has a neutral palette, you have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of colours. For homes with more distinct colour schemes, selecting a complementary or contrasting deck colour can create a striking visual effect. 

2. Reflect on Your Style and Preferences

Your deck is an extension of your living space, so it should reflect your personal style. Are you drawn to classic, timeless looks, or do you prefer modern, bold statements? BiForm offers a variety of colours and finishes to match any deck design, from warm, traditional wood tones to cool, contemporary shades. 

3. Think About Your Surroundings

Take inspiration from your surroundings. If you live in a lush, green environment, natural wood tones or earthy colours can blend seamlessly with the landscape. In urban settings, sleek, contemporary colours might be more appropriate. Consider how your deck will look throughout the seasons and choose a colour that will remain appealing year-round. 

4. Evaluate Practical Considerations

Practicality is key when choosing your deck colour and finish. Lighter colours can help reflect heat, making them a great choice for sunny areas. Darker colours, while striking, may absorb more heat and our Camo colour range can help to hid scratches and marks. Think about the level of maintenance you’re comfortable with and how much foot traffic your deck will receive. 

5. Test Samples in Your Space

Before making a final decision, order one of our free sample packs and test them in your actual space. Observe how the colours look in different lighting conditions throughout the day. This hands-on approach ensures that you’ll be happy with your choice once it’s installed. If you feel like a slightly bigger sample will aid in your decision, just ask! 

6. Explore BiForm’s Colour Options

7. Think Long-Term

Finally, consider the long-term appeal of your chosen colour and finish. Trends come and go, but a well-chosen deck colour should remain stylish and functional for many years. Opt for a colour and finish that you’ll love both now and in the future. 

Conclusion

Choosing the right colour and finish for your decking is a crucial step in creating an outdoor space that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
