Decking & Railing Duos

How to Match Your Decking and Railing Colors Like a Designer

Homes come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so why shouldn't your decking and railing? Trex's portfolio of rich, beautiful decking colors featuring multiple tones and wood-grain finishes, along with an array of railing collections with material options that work for every aesthetic, give you the confidence to plan and build an outdoor space that fits any style, home and budget.

Tip 1: Start with color. Traditionally, decks came in brown or lighter brown. We've still got all the browns - light, dark and in between - but we've also added robust reds and gorgeous grays galore. We know that choosing from a wide array of colors may be the hardest step when you set out to plan your deck build. Order decking samples and view them against your house in morning, noon and night light to ensure the perfect match.

Tip 2: Give railing the attention it deserves. Railing is the most visible part of your deck so why not treat it that way. Does contemporary metal railing match your home's architecture, or is a traditional, vinyl-like system more your vibe? Whatever your style, we've got the perfect railing to complement your perfect decking.

Tip 3: Coordinate or contrast. Be bold with dark brown decking paired with traditional dark brown composite railing for a dramatic monochromatic effect, or mix it up with taupe decking and minimalistic white metal railing and balusters and create an ultra-modern oasis. This is where your design style can really shine.

Tip 4: Finish well. You've got your deck covered top to bottom, but don't forget the sides. Trex Fascia boards come in the same shades and durability as our composite decking and make your outdoor space stand out from every angle.

Tip 5: You'll like what you don't see when you choose our fastening solutions. Our Hidden Fasteners, color-matched plugs and screws leave a smooth finish behind. Build with Trex from the joist up for unmatched precision and beauty and gain the peace of mind that comes from our enduring strength and exquisite aesthetics.
