Not sure how to select the best color, style, or material for your outdoor living space? This deck in Lockport, IL beautifully illustrates how thoughtful design choices can elevate both form and function. At Crockett Construction, we believe your deck should feel like a natural extension of your home. From color coordination to material selection, every detail matters when creating a cohesive, long-lasting outdoor retreat.
Here are a few expert tips to help guide your design decisions:
- Match your home’s aesthetic: Your deck should complement your home’s exterior color scheme for a cohesive and polished look.
- Know your materials: Your options may be limited or expanded depending on the decking material you choose. Composite decking, for example, offers a wider range of color options than traditional wood.
- Think about function: Areas like stairs and high-traffic zones may need a different finish or color for better durability and easier maintenance.
- Use a color scheme: Try working with three tones—a dominant color, a secondary color, and a pop of accent color—for siding, trim, decking, railings, and even furniture.
- Factor in your landscape: If your yard features lots of color and plant variety, you might opt for a more muted deck tone like brown, taupe, or gray to avoid clashing.
