Question by SPRING: We just got a new covered deck , what colors would be good to paint the back wall & wood work .?
I want a differant color then the sidding & windows of the house that is now white & dark green trim . The covered deck will be stained med to dark brown & is inclosed with lattice at the ends & below the railing across the front .
I want to decorate it to look cool , cozy & very relaxing .
Is there any place to find decor ideas for decks .
I also need to conseal some things that don’t match on the back wall , like 2 kinds of sidding . We couldn’t find sidding to match our old sidding when they tore off an old loundry room to make room for the new deck . The deck is really great but the 21′ back wall is an eye sore .
I’ll be putting Kills out side primer on in the next few days .
We have a round green glass top table & chairs 2 pink 2 green & some folding chairs , a long white table to serve food & a gas grill at the other end . . Hot & cold running water , electric lights & safe water proof plugs .
Any decorating & consealing ideas would be great ,
Thanks for any help .

I would paint the back wall and trim white. Not only will it make the area look larger, it will be cooler (dark colors absorb heat). If you decide to light it, the white will reflect the light better. White also works well with other colors.
Use plants and flowers to add color, along with chair pads, pillows, and an outdoor rug. Arrange the furniture like you would a room in the house.
