Potting Shed Colour?

My lovely new potting shed has arrived! I was initially thinking of painting it green (nothing too dark) or maybe light blue with a different colour trim around doors & window but now im thinking maybe a darker colour would be best to help make it blend into the garden a bit more & not look so prominent! Maybe even just play it safe & go the dark brown of the deck/railing?

What colour would you guys paint it?

Please excuse the state of the garden it was major surgery to get the old shed out & the new one in

 

Hi @honeybunny
If it was mine where it's situated I'd see it as an extension to my fence and paint it accordingly, but sometimes it's good to let go

 

Hi @honeybunny , I think if it was me I'd go for the datk brown of the railings. I'd slso paint the fence the same colour so it all tied in together.

 

Fabulous.

You don’t want it to blend in as that’s a bit boring ... I’d let go a bit

I’d go - Johnstones Garden Colour Toasted Beige - 1L

With this as a trim or just the door maybe - Cuprinol Garden Shades Iris Exterior Paint 1L | Wilko

 

Like the colour as it is honeybunny However a clear stain would be good

 

Clear stain gets my vote, would be a shame to cover that lovely looking wood.

 

As above , leave it as it is , and recoat with a clear stain when needed . It blends in with the fence then.

 

It'll probably go a similar to that of the fence. It won't take more than a year.
So you could leave it as it is. At the moment it is a bit, "in your face."
My shed I built in 1976, out of recycled materials and is still in perfect condition, gets a coat of Dulux Woodsheen every few years so it blends in with all the other woodwork.



It makes it less noticeable.

 

Thank you all i have decided to go for the dark brown to match in with the rail/decking. Had it been more out of the way/tucked into the corner of the garden i would've gone with a brighter colour or kept it the colour it is now but what with it being so far out into the garden i need to help it blend in a little however! Im going to paint the inside a nice cheery shade of green! Which thanks to the BIG window you will be able to see from the outside

I just need to wait for the rain to stop now :rasp:

 

I presume my suggestion of Neon Pink with Lime Green polka dots , came second ?
