5 Considerations For Outdoor Furniture Colors
The first thing you should consider is the theme. The theme of your house should guide you in choosing good colors for your outdoor sets. Working from an existing theme is like working with a cheat sheet and helps you make an informed decision.
You can go with a blend of your theme, looking for similar colors. Or you could choose a complete opposite contrast of what is in your house. Alternatively, you can pick one color and develop a new scheme.
Season
Sometimes, you should consider the season to guide you into a suitable color scheme for your outdoor furniture. The seasons have various color favorites that blend with the overall feel.
For example, summer is associated with everything orange, red, yellow, and other warm colors. Winter calls for ice-cool colors like blues and greens. Fall invokes the spirit of browns and oranges, while spring demands the floweriness of purples and pinks.
Using seasons can guide you in a good color pallet choice. You can pick your favorite one or the one you most relate to.
Garden/Patio
The garden and patio style is another consideration to make when choosing colors. Your garden has specific plants and features that would look best against other colors. In fact, you can pick your garden colors to dictate your outdoor furniture.
Your patio style should also guide you to the right colors. For example, if the architectural features of your patio or gazebo play to Mediterranean styles, then Mediterranean whites and neutrals should be your ideal color choices.
Location
Similarly, consider where your furniture will sit. Your patio could be against a colored background, and you, therefore, need to pick patio furniture that will complement the location. Additionally, if your deck can be seen from the street, consider your curb apples. You need to ensure it is inviting, creative, and thoughtful. Also, consider if your furniture is going in an outdoor room like the outdoor kitchen. In this example, oranges and yellows are best for appetite.
Favorites
And finally, the most classic method of choosing outdoor furniture colors is picking your favorite colors. A quick search online will introduce you to the variety of colors available for outdoor sets.
