Garden Room Colour Ideas For Spring

Tired of the same old boring colour scheme? Want to try something new and exciting to make your new or existing garden room a bit more fun and interesting? Ok, let’s get it done. The season of renewal, fresh new things, and life is just around the corner. 

We’ve got some ideas for how you can freshen up both the interior and exterior of your garden home, getting it ready for a brilliant year of fun, family, friends, work, entertainment - whatever you have on the menu, really.

What is the difference between exterior and interior paints?

Before getting out your paintbrush and sloshing some of your favourite colours around the place, let’s spend a minute understanding what you need. Exterior and interior paints serve very different functions, and understanding these differences will help you choose the right paints. 

What garden paint colours can you use for the exterior?

Sprucing up your outdoor space for Spring requires some planning to get your colour combinations rights. This can easily be done with a paint visualizer, like the one provided by Dulux, and other paint manufacturers.

After taking a photo of the exterior of your garden home, you can upload it onto their website and change around the colours until you find something you like. Regardless of the supplier, you’ll be looking for a weatherproof product that can withstand extreme environmental conditions. 

Below are some of the most popular paint colours used for summer house exteriors:

A DIY alternative

If you’re in the market for a brand new garden home, the UK’s leading manufacturer of garden rooms and log cabins, Palmako UK, has just announced their new garden buildings, which come pre-painted from their factory.

Each piece of the garden home is sprayed in a controlled painting environment, ensuring a smooth finish and protection from the elements before leaving the factory floor.

Factory-painted cabins have a much longer lifespan than those painted post-assembly. Their cabins come in a range of popular colours, and raw wood can be dip-treated to protect the garden room against wood-eating insects such as termites.

Garden room interior paint ideas

Jumping into Spring with both feet, our paint experts, journalists, and interior designers have predicted that neutral colours will remain firm favourites this year, but in small quantities. 

Rather, the trend is moving towards expressing individual ideas and personalities in your interior spaces, with much less focus on traditional colours. 

Let’s take a look at what the experts think should make the list of top colours this year. 

Yellow

Aptly named for Spring, TrueJoy™, the Dulux palette showcases yellow shades as their colour of the year. Chosen for its ability to inspire imagination, creativity and optimism, this colour palette encourages you to be adventurous this season.

Primary colours (red, yellow, blue) are making a comeback this year, bringing new and modern colours into homes. Paired with orange and a few splashes of blue, it will complement any garden room design.

Blue

Continuing the primary colour obsession this year is the leading industry paint company, Valspar. Celebrating the re-emergence of primary colours, they’ve named their colour of the year, Encore. Encore inspires consistency and big confidence with its vibrance. Sue Kim, Valspar Director of Colour Marketing, had this to say about their latest palette:

“As we seek a joy-filled life, this approachable and livable ultramarine creates a perfect backdrop for happiness in the home.”

If you feel like you need to greatly enhance your mood this season, then pair Encore with natural colours to create a striking garden home interior. Dot flower pots around the room, use natural materials for furniture, and lightly blend in some greens - the result will be a room of elegance and comfort that you can revel in all year long.

Red

Yes, you guessed it. The last of the primary colours has made it on the list for Spring. Founder of award-winning blog Mad About the House, Kate Watson-Smyth, recently explained to Veranda.com that colour can make or break a room, and this can certainly be the case with using red. 

This year reds are moving away from tomato reds and paprika towards richer tones such as burgundy. American company Behr, loved the idea of red so much this season that it named its colour of the year, Rumours - a rich, ruby red bringing a sophisticated energy to your garden home. 

Red pairs well with white, beige, black, grey, blue, and green. Paint an accent wall in your garden home with ruby red, hang floating shelves, and pair with neutral-coloured furniture, creating a luxurious atmosphere for dining and relaxation.

Bring it all together: A harmonious garden home

Now that you have a selection of beautiful colours for both the exterior and interior of your garden home, how do you tie everything together? By creating a seamless flow between the two spaces with carefully matched colours.  Here are suggestions on how you can achieve this.

Indoor-Outdoor harmony

One way of ensuring coordination between spaces is to use complementary colours. For instance:

• If you opt for an earthy exterior (sage green, soft grey, navy blue), then brighten up the interior with blues or yellows.
• If you like the idea of a bolder exterior (terracotta, dark grey, deep blue), then keep the interior light with neutral colours, and splashes of red, green, and blue.
• If you go for a neutral colour outside, it creates an opportunity to use big, bold colours like ruby red inside.
