The use of a suitable palette is able to create a more lively or relaxing outdoor space, depending on what you are looking to generate. This is why here we show you some ideas that will surely inspire you.
White
White is a classic and timeless option that always looks clean and neat. In addition, it is a perfect canvas for any type of decoration, such as coastal-style chairs or cushions in vibrant tones.
In the example we see in the photo above, the neutral color of the walls and floors in gray predominates, then, to add interest, upholstery and accessories of strong colors have been used. In addition, strong colors combine perfectly with nature.
Off-white
If you’re looking for a softer, warmer option, a off-white paint is ideal. Your space will continue to contrast with bright and colorful furniture, but in a more subtle way.
Yellow or orange walls
To achieve an elegant but very fun patio there is nothing better than a bright color like a soft yellow. It is perfect to have a garden illuminated all year round, both in summer and winter. To complement, terrace accessories can be used in neutral tones.
Rose
Soft and pastel colors like pink are very elegant on a terrace. But also, complementing with warm colors through accessories is perfect to give a different touch to the patio. A good example is this garden with pastel pink wall and coral-upholstered chairs.
Light green
By painting your terrace green, you’ll help it blend in with the surrounding trees and shrubs. Among different shades, sage green, with its mixture of green, blue and grey, is particularly relaxing and evokes a feeling of freshness and tranquility. It combines well with natural woods and wicker furniture for a relaxed and bohemian style.
Are you looking to give a fresh and natural touch to your terrace? Then, apple green is the perfect color for you.
Dark green
If you prefer something more formal, then dark green is your thing. This color perfectly complements the evergreens around your home and gives it a rustic cabin feel. If you have a brown or gray façade, this shade will look especially prominent.
A green wall is usually a perfect complement to a small terrace, as it generates a sense of depth.
Light blue
A common tradition in many parts of the world is to paint the roof of the terrace light blue. As long as you sit in your rocking chair and look up, you’ll feel like you’re outside looking at the sky. For the rest of your terrace, choose a classic neutral, such as white, off-white or light grey.
Grey
Do you want a modern and sophisticated style? Gray is a great option. And if you want to add visual interest, play with textures, such as wood, natural fibers such as linen or sisal.
Negro y blanco
Puedes experimentar con negro y blanco: barandillas y techo negros, mientras que el resto del terraza queda en blanco. ¡O prueba a jugar con patrones geométricos en el suelo para un toque de dinamismo!
Black
For a garden where dark color such as black predominates, it is perfect to add luminosity with white or beige elements. To combine you can use garden accessories in the same color but in a paler tone.
It is recommended to use bright colors only as an accent, that is, splashed here and there, but it should not be the predominant color otherwise the space would be saturated.
Beige or brown
If you prefer a classic and formal style, then beige is the perfect choice. This shade is especially well suited to homes of all styles. To complement this color, you can use any other color, since the entire chromatic range looks great accompanying the beige.
Tonos vibrantes
¿Te atreves a ser audaz? ¡Prueba con tonos vibrantes! Si vives en una ubicación tropical rodeada de edificios coloridos, sigue la tendencia y pinta las barandillas, el piso del terraza o la puerta en colores vibrantes como el lila o morado berenjena. Para evitar que sea demasiado abrumador, combínalo con un tono neutral como blanco o gris en el resto del terraza.
Adding a lot of color in furniture and tableware, make all the color is in the elements, while nature is darker. Both create a perfect contrast without overshadowing the other.
Dividing areas in the garden with bright colors is a good idea to give a different touch to the garden and create two different areas.
