Designing and building a deck is an investment, and you want yours to suit your style — but it also needs to work with the rest of your home. The last thing you want is a deck that clashes with your home’s siding. If you want a cohesive visual style that will impress your guests, these two essential aspects of your outdoor space — your house and deck color combination — need to align.

But how do you know what deck color to pick? Luckily, the experts at Trex have put together a list of Trex decking and siding color pairings to suit any home.

Best Deck Boards for Stone Houses

Stone houses offer a natural feel and varied texture that add visual interest — while versatile enough to work with a variety of decking color palette options. It’s hard to find a deck that doesn’t look great against a quarried palette of grey, taupe, and caramel.

Difficult as it was, our stylists chose two frontrunner deck colors to make this house and deck color combination sing: 

  • Trex Transcend® decking in shade Tiki Torch: The nutmeg and ginger tones of Tiki Torch complement the warmer streaks found in some types of stone. This color works particularly well if your stone siding features an array of shades and tones.
  • Trex Transcend® Lineage® in shade Jasper: This rich, mocha-inspired composite shade mimics the dynamic ebbs and flows of color in natural stone, accenting bluish slates and sandy ivories to create a smooth pairing between your siding and Trex decking.

Best Deck Boards for Vinyl Houses

Vinyl is one of the most popular sidings for new homes in the U.S., and it’s easy to understand why. Vinyl is a durable, low-maintenance material that keeps both heating and cooling costs down. 

For homes with horizontal vinyl panels in a classic tan, our design team recommends these two Trex decking shades: 

  • Trex Enhance® in the shade Rocky Harbor: Rocky Harbor brings a not-like-the-Jones modernity to an exterior often found in suburban developments. This allows you to stand out from the crowd (without upsetting the local HOA).
  • Trex Transcend® in the shade Havana Gold: Havana Gold's rich, honey tones add a luxe, reading-room feel that evokes stately heritage. This tone adds a touch of elegance that will impress the neighbors.

Best Deck Boards for Cedar Shaker Houses

Dating back to Colonial times, shakes have a handsomely rugged and rustic appearance that recalls summers spent on New England shores. This classically outdoorsy, beachy siding style creates a homey feel without sacrificing visual appeal. Accentuating this style of siding requires a decking style that plays off your shakers without overpowering them.

To complement their old-Americana patina, our design team recommends sampling two Trex color options: 

  • Trex Select® in the shade Pebble Grey: The matte oomph of Pebble Grey grounds shakes in a deep sea of modern grey — perfect for a clean, streamlined look. This color option perfectly blends modern and rustic vibes, making it perfect for any shaker-style home.
  • Trex Transcend® in the shade Rope Swing: The sandy tones of Rope Swing play on the beachy feel of the shakers. Try using this color palette to round out your vacation home with a style that matches the getaway of your dreams.

Best Deck Boards for Brick Houses

From the sweeping center hall colonials of Charleston to the charming craftsman bungalows of Portland, brick homes of every size and style have endless curbside appeal. Not only is brick a clean, natural material, but it also absorbs sound and resists fire, serving as a terrific form-meets-function choice. 

To tease out its range of burnished red and brown shades, our design team recommends these Trex decking options to complement your brick home:

  • Trex Transcend® decking in the shade Lava Rock: This shade offers a durable composite that boasts the hardy, striated appearance of redwood. Try pairing this darker shade with a lighter brick for a contrasting dual-tone look to your outdoor space.
  • Trex Transcend® Lineage® in the shade Carmel: This timeless, creamy taupe goes hand-in-hand with classic brick. Soft-colored decking allows your brick to shine without overpowering it.

Best Deck Boards for Stucco Houses

Close your eyes and imagine the sprawling ranchers of Southern California and O’Keefe’s Southwest; a sunny stucco likely springs to mind. This distinct siding is a favorite around the world, but finding a complementary decking color may require some outside-the-box thinking.

When considering the type of deck that would work well with stucco’s painterly, midcentury allure, our design team went with:

  • Trex Transcend® Lineage® in the shade Rainier: Featuring a pristine, stony grey, this shade keeps the palette airy, elevated, and chic. This allows you to maintain a modern, midcentury look throughout your design.
  • Trex Transcend® in the shade Spiced Rum: This rich, tropical-inspired umber adds soul and gravitas to your space while contrasting your stucco's natural tone. Consider using this tone if you're looking for a more natural-driven overall aesthetic.
