Need help with garden and paint colours

Not sure what to do with the garden around the house? Wanted to put an elevated deck in overlooking the pool but was going to cost $18k!! Any ideas of what we could do instead? Also any ideas on what colour to paint? Kinda not into hello and orange!

      Id get some more quotes. That spot is perfect for a deck.

      I don't know what climate you live in but I think a bold dark color would instantly update your home, make the plants look greener and the brick look newer

      I think some cool window awnings would be affordable and make a great statement as well, over those windows overlooking the pool

      A little all over the shop with materials, colours and designs. I'd sell.

      Can you take out one of the garden beds (front left) and do a smaller deck area to transition from the upper deck down to the paving. I think you need a much lighter colour to provide light and contrast with all the tropical plants. Agree yellow and orange are not helping create a relaxing outdoor area. You already have warm colours in the terracotta tile around the pool so a colour for the walls that cools them down, look for neutral tones in lighter blue/greys to reflect the pool. You can see the difference in the photo above which looks much lighter than in your photo with the dark brick and terracotta orange on the walls which just seems to suck the light out. Large pots can be in your favourite pops of colour to great interest and contrast.

      Good luck with your project.

      You already have black in the hand rail & grey in the garden bed edge, I would continue that theme with charcoal and grey, to give a sophisticated look which blends into the garden.

      I would get in a landscaping designer - they often have really good ideas that we wouldn't usually think of and know whether it is do-able or not. They are usually pretty reasonably priced for a consultation - then when you have the ideas and cost estimates you can go from there. It looks like a tricky area to me.

      Where are you based?

      I would be inclined to capitalise on the space below. Remove all the raised beds and plants. Can the stairs continue all the way down that wall? as they are also cutting into the space. Also remove the blocky pillars at the base of the stairs. Then splash out on a few large pots, a beautiful dining setting, perhaps a living wall garden on that large expanse of yellow wall. (pizza oven? bbq?)

      I would remove the left hand side garden bed & deck that for your outdoor eating are leaving the bottom for pool side lounge. I would pain the outside of your house in a textured chalk colour paint chanelling a little Mexico with you black railings & picking a highlight colour for decor eg cushion covers. I would also

      How long have you live here long? Do you have a clear idea on what you want to achieve in the space? I would start off by giving the space a big clean, with a gurney.. Once the space is all clean, and a new coat of paint you may find a deck is not needed? Grey colours will help to cool the terracotta and even a few outdoor rugs may help add a pop of colour.. Paint is the cheapest and easiest way to completely overhaul the space..
