Paint it black
@cottagebythetarn, Black Sand
If your shed is more of a storage solution than an exterior feature, opting for an intense black shed paint like Natural Charcoal is a great way to blend it into the background—especially if you paint your shed and fence the same colour.
What’s more, black will provide the perfect backdrop for vibrant plants and flowers, as demonstrated by this cosy cottagecore shed. A dense shade with blue undertones, Black Sand provides a subtle colour contrast against the red cotoneaster bush.
Truly neutral
White garden sheds pair perfectly with neutral colour schemes, and vice versa, to create a sense of understated elegance in any outdoor space. Beige, white and pale grey makes for a clean, airy vibe that accentuates the natural tones in your garden.
When decorating with neutrals, focusing on colour temperature is important for creating a coordinated look. A cool toned beige like Hessian works perfectly with bright white Cotton, whereas warmer neutrals like Portland Stone complement homely shades like Clotted Cream.
Refreshing greens
Green shed paint is popular due to its prominence in nature, and painting your shed a rich, verdant green will allow it to complement the space. We recommend a grey toned green like Serenity or Aloe, as earthier tones will feel right at home in your garden.
If you’re looking to add some wow factor, why not try pink and green for the perfect colour combo? This shed has been painted fresh green Serenity, with pale Aloe on the doors and a soft pink, Homespun interior, for a dramatic contrast that creates interest. Furthermore, the shades are muted enough to maintain a serene, inviting space that stays true to the naturally occurring colours found in your garden.
