Go grey for a modern, minimalist look
The trend towards grey amongst outdoor designers is set to accelerate in 2024, make no mistake. We’re talking all shades of grey — from almost-white light grey to medium to charcoal. For decking (but also cladding and fencing), grayscale is in.
Grey creates a clean, modern, Scandinavian-inspired look that allows your other outdoor elements — furniture, plants, nature walls, rugs — to pop. To stay on the monochrome theme, consider keeping some of these features white.
There are a few ways to achieve grey decking. The first is by the natural weathering of a quality decking timber species, like Larch, Oak or Iroko. Consider applying a quality transparent preservative oil to prevent any moisture-related damage. Within a year’s time, your deck will have that silvery-fox look.
The other way is by purchasing decking that has been professionally pre-treated in the factory. One particular popular technology is Lunawood Thermowood a phenomenal sustainable wood— The best Scandinavian raw material and toxic-free Thermal modification process makes this wood ideal for building materials for even the most demanding applications where most wood materials won’t perform -looks incredible and performs superbly.
The other way to go grey is with composite decking.Products like Evelast and NewTechWood give you the choice of different shades of grey.
