What Color Should I Paint My Deck?
Staining or painting your deck or patio can make all the difference in the overall appearance of your Longmont home. But what color should you choose? This is a personal decision you’ll have to make, but there are some factors that will come into play when making your choice.
Here are some things to think about when choosing a color for your deck painting:
- Does your homeowner’s association have a list of colors you must pick from?
- What colors look good next to the exterior paint color of your home?
- Does your deck get a lot of direct sunlight? You might want a lighter color.
- Worried about dirt on your newly painted deck? A darker color might be best.
- Afraid you’ll get sick of a bright deck color? Go neutral and try a bright accent.
In the end, it will also come down to what colors you like. Once we’re done painting your deck, we want to make sure you’re happy with the end result. So, taking everything above into consideration, pick a color that will make you feel good just by looking at it.

Should Your Deck and Fence Match?
Your deck and fence don't have to be the same. While a uniform color scheme creates a clean look, there are benefits to contrasting them as well. Here's a quick guide to help you decide:
Matching Colors
If you have a smaller backyard, opting for a matching color scheme creates a cohesive and unified look. This can visually expand the space, making it feel larger and more streamlined. Matching also simplifies the decision-making process, especially if you prefer neutral tones. However, for larger decks and fences, a uniform color scheme might appear monotonous, lacking visual interest and contrast.
Contrasting Colors
On the other hand, contrasting colors can add a touch of personality and dimension to your outdoor haven. This approach allows you to highlight different design elements, like pairing a dark fence with a light-colored deck. Contrasting colors create a more dynamic and inviting atmosphere. However, choosing clashing colors can be overwhelming. To avoid this pitfall, a bit more planning is required to ensure the contrasting colors complement each other beautifully.
Ultimately, the choice is yours! Consider your house color, materials (stain vs. paint), and landscaping when making your decision. If you're still unsure, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation for your deck and fence painting.
