How To Choose a Color For Your Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture

This is one of the biggest questions I run into, right up there with what style is what color? It is a legitimate question to be sure, and with a dozen choices from Poly-Wood alone, it isn’t made any easier. Most people envision their house color or the garden colors or what ever else is in the area they plan on putting their new outdoor furniture. I can tell you one thing, the color is going to last, or as a Rolling Stones song title says, Not Fade Away. Did I date myself there? So the bright Sunset Red or Lemon Yellow or Lime Green is going to be that color for a long long time, unlike most wood furniture that will fade into a dingy gray Poly-Wood is going to stay colorful for years to come.

So while I cannot choose your color, and I can tell you it will stay whatever color you choose I would like to share some of the solutions I have heard for this dilemma. The first one is you don’t have to match the house or anything else. Choose a color that you like simply because you like it. If your house has blue trim and but you like the Sunset Red chairs, it will look fine. The outdoor furniture is an accent and there are no rules.

One solution that I think works well and it is exactly what the couple who were my first customers did, they couldn’t decide on just one color so they bought a chair and table in four different colors and placed them on their front patio. Outdoor furniture should be fun and the Lemon Yellow and Pacific Blue next to the Sunset Red and Lime Green were certainly colorful on their Spanish style adobe home patio with its red tile roof and dark brown wood trim.

It is even possible to mix the colors within the chairs themselves. I have mixed a orange seat and back with a lime green legs and arm rests, and did the exact opposite with lime green seat and back and orange legs and armrests. It is not difficult and certainly offers some interesting combination’s depending on the colors you have.
