Wider research reveals that brown, green and grey paints continue to dominate gardens across the UK. When looking at individual shades, the top garden colour is Silver Copse, a dark silver-grey, with an impressive 11% of sales. For 2024 it's evident that paints with bold neutral tones are conquering the outdoors.
Paige McCallum, paint and wallpaper buyer at Homebase has commented on the recent data which uncovered the trending outdoor paint colours for this year: 'The growing popularity of bold, vibrant colours like purples and oranges shows we are feeling liberated and injecting more vibrancy into our gardens. After years of muted tones dominating, people seem to want to make more of a sunny, uplifting statement.'
'That said, we're not seeing neutrals disappear entirely. The continued prevalence of versatile naturals like our bestselling harvest gold paint indicates homeowners still crave a sense of calm in their outdoor spaces. This is a nice alternative to a traditional brown or dark charcoal when painting your fence, as it can form the perfect backdrop to let your garden pop. The rising trend is all about striking a harmonious balance between punches of energetic colour and soothing, timeless backdrops.'
