How to Choose the Right Decking Colour for Your Australian Home

Choosing a decking colour is one of the most impactful design decisions you'll make for your outdoor space. The right colour sets the tone for your entire exterior - and the wrong one can feel out of place for years.

Start With Your Architecture

Look at your home's existing materials. WoodEver's current decking range is Chocolate, Coffee, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Redwood, Teak, Teak 20 and Walnut. Treat every screen swatch as indicative and compare physical samples beside the actual wall, paving and trim materials.

Consider Your Aspect

North-facing decks in full sun often start with lighter tones because all exterior surfaces can become hot and darker colours may absorb more heat. Surface temperature also depends on weather, orientation and surrounding materials, so compare physical samples in position before deciding.

Think About Lifestyle

Colour names are only a starting point. Compare shortlisted samples for visible dust, water marks and contrast at the times the deck will be used, then record the exact colour name with the quote request.

Request Samples First

Colours look different in real light than on a screen. Request samples and compare available options in position at different times of day, then review the current decking range before committing.
