  • Grey Composite Decking
  • Charcoal Composite Decking
  • Black Composite Decking
  • Brown Composite Decking

Grey Composite Decking

When it comes to selecting your composite decking colours UK, grey is an increasingly popular choice and for very good reason. It gives a clean and sleek modern feel and is also a wonderfully versatile choice that can be easily matched with a wide range of furniture, neutral tones and decor.

Our light grey composite decking, grey composite decking boards and pearl grey composite decking are available in a variety of shades to suit your own vision and preferences. Whether you favour a lighter aesthetic or a darker look, grey decking can help you achieve your ideal outdoor space.

Charcoal Composite Decking

Charcoal tones can provide a bold, sophisticated look in your garden. Named after a striking type of hard coal, our anthracite composite decking is at the darker end of the grey range but falls short of being fully black. It’s great for giving a modern look to urban or industrial-inspired spaces, but can also complement the natural elements of a garden, providing a strong contrast to lawns, potted plants, greenery and wood.

You can even combine a dark colour such as charcoal with lighter shades of composite decking to create striking borders or different zones within your designs.

Black Composite Decking

Black is a bold and dramatic choice for your decking, but you might be surprised at the versatility of our black composite decking boards. Our beautiful Black Graphite decking can be paired with a wide range of colours and styles, with high-contrast designs and decor working particularly well.

Dark colours are also a great practical choice for hiding wear and scuffs, particularly in high-traffic areas. All of our composite decking is durable and low maintenance, but darker options such as Black Graphite make it even easier to keep your spaces looking perfect – though they may show dust and lighter types of dirt more easily than brown or grey options.

Brown Composite Decking

Our composite decking provides a number of benefits compared to traditional timber decking. It’s more durable and easier to maintain, and if you want that classic natural look, our brown composite decking mimics traditional stained timber.

Our mocha brown composite decking and walnut composite decking provide earthy and woody tones for that classic look with a vibrant warmth. Brown decking blends seamlessly into green landscapes, from lawns to trees or potted plants, but is versatile enough for all kinds of designs. Whether you’re going for a rustic or contemporary look, there’s a brown composite decking to suit.

Teak Composite Decking

Teak is a hardwood that is particularly resistant to different climates, which is why it has traditionally been used for everything from high-end furniture to shipbuilding. It also makes it a natural choice for our hard-wearing and weather-resistant decking.

Our teak composite decking has a rich, golden tone, making it ideal if you’re seeking a lighter alternative to darker brown shades. It’s suitable for coastal or tropical-themed spaces but is also able to bring a vibrant, sunlit feel to any outdoor area. If you’re looking for a composite decking colour that really stands out, teak could be the one for you.

Beige Composite Decking

Soft neutral tones have been popular in interior decor for some time now and the same relaxing feel can be brought to your outdoor spaces. Beige can be an excellent alternative if you prefer a warmer, softer neutral colour scheme to greys.

Our savanna composite decking is a great choice for Mediterranean or minimalist designs and for creating a light and airy atmosphere. It pairs equally well with colourful accessories and greenery, and also turns into a magically relaxing wonderland with candles or fairy lights.

Green Composite Decking

Green has a naturally outdoorsy appearance, providing an organic look that complements gardens, lawns and wooded areas without overpowering its surroundings. It blends well but can also be striking in its own right. Colour therapists often link green with harmony, balance and a sense of security, as well as the natural properties of growth and rebirth.

Our sage green composite decking is a beautifully understated green that is perfect for creating your own unique and relaxing space. It is perhaps a less common choice than browns or greys, but this only makes it more distinctive.

White Composite Decking

If you’re looking for a light choice in your composite decking colours, it doesn’t get any lighter than white! White composite decking gives you a bright, clean and contemporary deck, and when combined with pale, neutral furniture, soft furnishings or accessories, you can easily create a haven of relaxation in your outdoor spaces.

Of course, white can also be used as a backdrop to contrast with darker or more vivid colours. It’s perfect for coastal or Mediterranean-inspired designs, as well as for a more modern, minimalist look. Light colours including white are also ideal for making smaller spaces appear larger and more inviting.

How to Choose the Perfect Composite Decking Colour

It can be difficult to choose the right decking colour for your outdoor spaces. As well as practical issues, everyone has their own tastes and preferences. There are plenty of things to consider, but if you follow our steps below, you should be able to find the best colour choice for your individual requirements. You can also read our composite decking ideas guide.

Consider the Exterior of Your Home

You will certainly want your decking to work well with the outside of your home. There is no set way to do this and every home is different, but in general, you might want your decking design and colour choice to complement the colour, style and age of your home. This could involve pairing contemporary homes with more neutral decking tones, for example, or choosing classic, natural hues for homes with traditional stonework. Coordination can help to create a cohesive look right through the property.

Consider the Shades of Your Outdoor Space

It’s also important to think about how the surrounding elements, such as composite fencing, garden walls, patio furniture and plants, will look alongside your decking. Brown or green tones can blend easily with a natural garden, for example, while grey or white is great for contrasting against vibrant colours. Of course, any decking you install will become a major feature of your garden or any outdoor space. Sometimes it might be better to match easily changeable items such as soft furnishings and potted plants to your decking rather than the other way around.

Think About the Location of the Deck

The exposure of the deck to different levels of sunlight throughout the day might also have a bearing on your colour choice. Lighter colours reflect the heat, while darker tones absorb it and may be suitable for more shaded areas. On the other hand, you might want spaces that don’t get too much sun to be lighter, to prevent them from being too gloomy.

Consider the Maintenance Requirements

Very dark decking tends to show dust and mud more easily and very light decking may show other types of dirt and spillages. Mid-range colours such as browns and mid-greys can be the best for hiding the dirt that will naturally accumulate. Even so, it’s important to learn about cleaning composite decking and cleaning up spills and other debris. Our composite decking is very easy to maintain compared to traditional timber decking, but it still needs a bit of TLC.

Decide On the Mood You Want to Create

The decking colours you choose can have a big impact not only on how your deck looks but also on how it feels. Some people find neutral colours such as beige more relaxing, while others prefer the more natural feel of a traditional brown or rustic green. Bold charcoal, black or white, meanwhile, can provide sleek modern spaces that are great for entertaining.

Test the Colours With a Sample

The best way to decide how your decking colour will look in your garden is to order some composite decking samples in your chosen colours for free. You can then test them in your outdoor space at various times of the day in order to get a true feel for how the colours look.

Best Composite Decking Colours for Small Spaces

When planning your decking colours, you should think about the space you have available, as well as the mood and feel you want to create. Lighter colours can give more of a sense of space, especially if combined with bright furnishings or plants and plenty of lights at night. On the other hand, warm, dark hues can help create a cosy sanctuary that can turn the small space into a feature. Even darker black or charcoal colours can give an impression of depth and blur the boundaries between the decking and the garden. This can be particularly impressive at night, especially with creative use of lighting.

Best Composite Decking Colours for Large Spaces

If you’re lucky enough to have plenty of space to play with, the main consideration is the look and feel you’re trying to create. Pale or neutral colours, natural browns and greens, or bold blacks, whites and charcoals can all look great on a large deck. One thing to bear in mind for larger decks is keeping it looking spick and span. Our composite decking is easy to maintain, but dark colours such as black and charcoal do tend to show up dirt and dust more easily, as does white at the other end of the spectrum. Mid-range greys and browns are better at hiding specks, though you should still carry out routine cleaning.

Composite Decking Colours FAQs

What is the most popular composite deck colour?

The most popular composite deck colour can vary over time, but at the moment, it is our grey ash tone in the mid-grey range.

Is it better to have a light or dark deck colour?

Everybody’s idea of the perfect deck is different, so it comes down to personal tastes and the space and surroundings available. Temperature might also be a factor as darker decking tends to get slightly hotter in the summer months, but our composite decking is weather and warp-resistant. You can use Dino decking samples to get a feel of how different colours will look.

Should a deck be lighter or darker than the house?

Some people prefer contrast, so they might go for a light decking colour if their house and garden are darker, for example. If the house is a lighter colour, a darker decking colour will provide that sense of contrast. There are no hard-and-fast rules though and you might prefer a deck that complements or blends in with its surroundings.

What colour deck hides dirt?

All outdoor decking will be exposed to dirt and debris, especially when it’s windy or rainy. Mid-range colours such as dark greys and browns tend to be the best for disguising dirt, footprints and general wear. Dark colours such as black or charcoal can show up dust and light-coloured dirt, while pale colours will show stains and darker debris. Composite decking is much easier to maintain and keep clean than traditional timber decking, but you should still clean spills and debris when you can and give it the occasional full clean. Read our composite decking cleaning guide for more information on this.
