Choosing a White Pergola Color

Pergolas are an integral part of any outdoor living space. Their structure elevates the look of the backyard and adds much-needed shade for comfortable lounging. While pergolas come in a variety of colors, white is one of the most popular options for homeowners who wish to create a bright and airy aesthetic. However, choosing the best color for your pergola is a matter of personal taste and design style.

The shade that a white pergola provides is more than just practical; it sets the tone for your entire outdoor area. This is why it's essential to consider the color of your home and fence when selecting a pergola color. You want the overall color scheme to complement and blend seamlessly with your outdoor furnishings, plants, and other landscape elements.

While many pergolas feature a natural wood stain, there are a number of creative ways to make your shade structure stand out even more. For instance, adding climbing vines like ivy, grapes, and wisteria to your pergola gives it a more organic and natural feel. Or, for a modern and trendy touch, opt for a two-tone aluminum pergola kit with an accent color.

As an additional bonus, these natural plants help to keep your pergola cool throughout the year. However, if you're not interested in the maintenance that comes with these plants, a simple white stain will also work just as well.

The light color of a white pergola is an excellent option in sunny areas like South Florida. The sun's rays naturally bounce off of this material, keeping the area underneath it nice and cool. However, this inherent reflectivity can sometimes cause issues with glare. Luckily, our experienced pergola design team is skilled at positioning the louver orientation of your pergola roof so that it takes full advantage of the sun without causing uncomfortable glare conditions.

Another great way to increase the visual appeal of your pergola is by using outdoor string lights and lanterns to illuminate it. This will transform the space into a secluded sanctuary that's perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a long day. This outdoor patio from Dazey Den is a prime example of how a White pergola can be used to create a beautiful backyard oasis, complete with a cozy lounge area and plenty of lighting.
