Need color advise on patio furniture
Comments (2)I have 4 Adirondack chairs and painted 2 and stained 2 with an opaque stain. The painted chairs which had been sanded primed and painted began to peel within the first month. The stained chairs have been outside for a more than a year and are still in great shape. I used Olympic Stain from Lowes. Stains can be supplied in any color you like. Based on the appearance of your deck, I would try a 'driftwood' stain on your furniture. It would look like this....See MoreNew Patio - Furniture Arrangement / Colour Dilemma!
Comments (2)You have a lot of gray (railings, posts, patio) and black doors and windows. People are repeating the colors you already have. Black furniture would look good, but add some color with the cushions. You can also add color with glazed pots full of flowers. Be careful with sectionals. They tend to only fit one way, and can limit where people can walk. Always measure your space before you shop, and take the tape measure with you to the store to make sure the furniture will fit when you get it home. I would much rather mix a loveseat with two chairs and a coffee table. It's easier to move pieces and to rearrange them. I would keep cushioned furniture under the roof. Unless you live in a very dry climate mildew and algae will develop if cushions get rained on. For the area to the right I would choose furniture without cushions. Use woven or metal mesh or strap seating that drains and dries quickly. Add a shade sail between your house and posts set in your yard to keep the area cooler. Shade cloth still allows enough sun for plants to grow, so add some large containers for summer annuals for sun and shade....See MoreColour choice for patio floor
Comments (2)I have never painted a metal roof so I guess you will need a good painter experienced in this type of application. As for the patio IMO if the space is not bright charcoal will not help that . I need pictures to really help but IMO I would try big outdoor rugs in light color before painting concrete that can look really bad really quickly.A rug like this that pulls in the terra cotta and the charcoal could work....See Moreneed help with color of patio furniture.
Comments (3)Thanks. I should mention that the table shown above is actually the grey legs. It's hard to tell but when you close up, it's dark grey. I couldn't find a picture of the black legs. That said, do you still think black or the slate gray as shown above?...See MoreL A
