What are the Different Slatted Cladding Colours?

Slatted cladding is becoming a very popular choice for outdoor projects, and it’s not hard to see why. It can add texture, depth, and personality to garden rooms, fences and boundary walls. What makes the biggest impact, though, is the colour. The right shade can turn a plain wall into a feature or help an entire space feel calm, stylish, and connected to its surroundings.

Choosing from the different slatted cladding colours might seem like a small detail, but in some respects, it shapes the whole mood of your outdoor design. A natural oak finish can feel warm and rustic, while a deep anthracite shade might bring out the clean lines of a modern build. Each colour tells its own story.

Oak

Oak is often seen as the most approachable colour in the collection. With its warm golden tones and a wood-like finish, it feels natural, almost as if it has always been part of the landscape. Many homeowners prefer oak slatted cladding because it blends well with countryside-inspired spaces or gardens where natural planting plays a starring role.

• Golden tones that mirror traditional timber

• Great for rustic, cottage, or countryside gardens

• Complements stone, brick, and natural planting

Oak slatted cladding is very adaptable. For example, in a small garden, it might add just enough warmth to make the space feel cosy. In a larger property, it can stretch across fences or garden rooms without ever feeling harsh or out of place. It could be the right choice for those who want something inviting, practical, and very easy on the eye.

Anthracite

Anthracite has become almost a design statement. Its deep grey tone is sleek, modern, and slightly dramatic, which is why it’s often chosen for garden rooms, outdoor offices, and minimalist extensions. The colour naturally works with clean lines and uncluttered spaces, so it tends to give an instant architectural feel.

• Sleek deep grey finish

• Works with white walls, light decking, or pale paving

• Perfect for sharp, modern lines

What makes anthracite stand out is its versatility. For instance, it looks equally at home in a city garden where space is limited and in a wide-open patio where glass doors and polished stone dominate. Anthracite slatted panels have a way of making everything around them feel crisp and ordered. If you want your outdoor space to have that modern, design-led edge, this colour is usually a safe choice.

Black

Black cladding is bold and undeniably striking. It tends to add depth and drama to a space, which is why architects often choose it for projects where strong contrast is needed. Against greenery, black creates a backdrop that makes plants pop. Against pale walls, it can feel sophisticated and highly modern.

• Strong, confident tone

• Highlights planting by contrast

• Works beautifully with pale walls and neutral flooring

Some homeowners feel black could be too daring, yet it often becomes the most memorable part of a design. A garden room with black cladding might appear as a sharp, architectural feature, while a simple wall can suddenly feel like a statement piece. In some respects, it’s a colour for those who want their outdoor space to stand out instead of blending in.

Walnut

Walnut offers a rich brown finish with a natural warmth that many people associate with traditional timber. It’s often chosen by homeowners who want their garden structures to feel connected to natural furniture or decking.

• Deep brown, wood-inspired finish

• Matches with outdoor furniture and warm décor

• Ideal for designs mixing timber, stone, and greenery

Walnut slatted cladding works well when the goal is to create a homely, timeless look. For example, pairing it with rattan seating, warm lighting, and natural planting can make a garden room feel like a genuine extension of the home. In bigger projects, walnut provides a balance between rustic warmth and modern reliability. It is, in many ways, the middle ground between traditional charm and contemporary practicality.

Silver

Silver brings a clean, cool aesthetic that feels stylish without being overbearing. Its reflective tone keeps outdoor spaces looking fresh, which is why it’s frequently seen in patios, garden rooms, and spaces where light plays an important role.

• Crisp, cool-toned shade

• Enhances garden rooms, patios, and modern outdoor kitchens

• Looks polished alongside glass or metal features

One of the strongest qualities of silver is how it interacts with daylight. On bright days, it reflects light gently, keeping outdoor areas open and inviting. In the evening, it pairs well with soft lighting to create a contemporary glow. Silver slatted cladding is often the preferred option for homeowners who want their garden space to feel bright, neat, and slightly minimalist.

Antique

Antique slatted cladding provides a weathered wood effect that captures a sense of heritage. It offers the beauty of aged timber without the maintenance issues that real wood brings. The result is a finish that looks timeless from the moment it’s installed.

• Weathered timber look

• Fits character homes and traditional gardens

• Adds charm and authenticity to new builds

For instance, a period home might use antique cladding to keep outdoor buildings sympathetic to the original building. A modern property, meanwhile, might use antique panels to add instant character and soften sharp edges. In either case, the antique finish provides a touch of lived-in charm that feels authentic and long-lasting.

Choosing between these slatted cladding colours is really about deciding the mood you want for your space. Oak is warm and natural, Anthracite is sleek and contemporary, Black is dramatic and bold, Walnut is homely and rich, Silver is cool and stylish, and Antique is weathered yet timeless. Each finish has the durability and weather resistance you’d expect from composite cladding, so it’s not just about looks — it’s about reliability too.
