Picture decking for me. Chances are, your first thought is of yellowy wood that barely resembles anything you’ve got going on inside. Unless you plan to painstakingly stain, paint, or seal your timber, your decking is going to stick out like a sore thumb when compared to the rest of your décor.

Fret not – in the world of composite decking trends for 2025, outdated yellows are out and natural, earthy tones are in! For instance, NeoTimber®’s broad selection of composite decking colours – specifically Antique, Ash White, Charcoal, Chocolate, Grey, Oak, Silver Birch, and Teak – encourages you to pair your new decking with your pre-existing interior. Whether you just want to have a colourful flow or are looking to give the illusion of a united interior and exterior, decking trends for 2025 are sure to help you craft your vision.

We all love a bit of natural wood, don’t we? The only problem is natural wood doesn’t particularly love us back. Though it may look pretty when initially laid down, it tends to discolour and wear faster than we might like. So, why not opt for an alternative that both mimics wood and retains its natural tones, whatever the weather? According to 2025’s composite decking trend roadmap, nature-inspired tones are all the rage, and it’s easy to see why.

But say neutrals just aren’t your style. You want to make a statement – install decking that shows off your love for modern design. Thankfully, composite decking comes in more than just your typical wood colours. Thanks to its unique makeup, composite decking effortlessly incorporates subtle metallic undertones to match the contemporary style that many homeowners crave. Capturing a premium feel, these trendy choices of Charcoal and Grey bring something new to the composite decking table.

And yet, what’s better than picking one colour and sticking with it? Choosing two that both complement each other and create a showstopping clash that will make your garden the talk of the neighbourhood. Throughout 2024, more and more homeowners have chosen to play around with dual-tone decking and edging options, and the results speak for themselves. The contrast brings a refreshing air of modern grace to your exterior, and composite decking is easily the best choice for any looking to explore a more experimental avenue in 2025.

You have so many choices with composite decking, both in terms of colour and layout. The only limit truly is your imagination, and NeoTimber® is always excited to see what homeowners come up with next. Composite decking is easy to work with – making it a prime pick when it comes to decking trends for 2025.

Ideal for mid-sized decks in particular, these beloved styles are making a celebrated comeback among homeowners for 2025. Herringbone and Chevron patterns may have once been restricted to wallpaper and fancy indoor flooring, but you can now play around with composite decking to bring this air of sophistication to your garden too. It gives you a whole new angle to work from, so go for it! Live your fancy decking fantasy one angled board at a time.

Mixing different width boards is becoming more and more popular. That’s why we developed our Deluxe Wide Deck Board and Deluxe Narrow Deck Board. As well as giving you the tools to make your decking look unlike anything your friends and family have ever seen, these mixed-width boards balance aesthetics with practicality to create a textured look and feel. Perfect for adding a bit of extra flavour to your exterior.

So your decking’s down, and it looks fantastic. Except for those edges, which will look scuffed no matter how immaculately your composite planks are cut and installed. Thankfully, NeoTimber® pairs decking boards with matching edging to give you the chance to frame your decking, whether just as a border or as a unique statement section. Either way, framing can add so much character to your composite decking – something that we’re certain will remain a trend in 2025’s composite decking sphere.

Very few love plants more than us. As a business heavily committed to ensuring the protection of our planet, the last thing we want to do is provide decking that doesn’t mesh with what makes a garden a garden. So, here are some insights into some of the trends we’re seeing when it comes to the union of decking and greenery.

You’d be surprised by just how much of a difference adding some low-maintenance shrubs and ornamental grass around your decking can be to creating a transition between indoor and outdoor. It creates a wonderful blend of natural beauty and manmade features, without demanding intensive upkeep. Just sit back and let it grow, and you’ll have a perfect balance of greenery and decking in no time at all.

Then again, maybe you want to keep your plants in one place. Understandable – not all of us have the time to care for plants that have free reign to flourish across our gardens. If you’re looking for a more controllable, yet equally impactful, solution, perhaps give planters a go. Between traditional potted plants and flowers grown in planters made from left over composite decking from your completed project, you’ve got endless possibilities for sprucing up your decking.

Say you’ve opted to build a trellis or pergola from trimmings that didn’t make it into your composite decking. Perhaps they need some gorgeous greenery. Certainly not the first thing that may come to mind, using plants in this way will draw a lot of attention to your outdoor space. Essentially, it will transform your garden into something you’re proud to show off whenever friends, family, or neighbours pop over for an evening of summer fun.

As composite decking trends have evolved during the lead-up to 2025, more and more homeowners have discovered ways to extend their interiors into their gardens, without disrupting the natural flow of either space. Let us talk you through some of our favourite methods of doing so – ones that are largely trending among UK homeowners.

Whether you’re a fan of sleek elements that add a bit of sophisticated pizazz to your garden or are in the market for a more traditional sense of whimsy, the world of composite decking has a bunch of ideas to share. For example, why not play around with glass or cable railings to capitalise on the modern look of your charcoal decking? Or perhaps marry stone pathways with oak to keep with the natural theme? Both are great options that can transform your space entirely.

From the moment the last day of summer leaves us, the UK is plunged into darkness for a good three-quarters of the year. Whether it’s because of torrential rain or winter evenings that show up far too early into the day, us Brits need our wits about us when navigating outside. Thankfully, NeoTimber® prepared for this and has developed composite decking-friendly LED lights that can guide you through the dark. And, as it happens, they’re a hit with homeowners – a trendy solution to a nationwide problem.

Lucky for you, the fun doesn’t end there. Outdoor furniture can transform your garden from a place you occasionally visit to an extension of your home, and our recycled plastic garden furniture makes colour-coordinated comfort a walk in the park. Complete with our colour-matched anti-slip decking strips, you can follow the forecasted 2025 trend of chilling out on your composite decking for as long as you like.

It’s an inspired alternative to traditional timber that triumphs in every area, making it the ideal pick for those looking to guarantee value for money.

Flexible with your budget, easy to maintain, available in a wide array of colours (complete with matching fencing, gates, cladding, balustrades, edging, anti-slip strips, and more), and aligned with the shift toward eco-friendly preferences, composite decking is by far the best choice for homeowners who want to give their garden the chance to shine. To NeoTimber®, composite decking is more than just a trend – it’s the natural progression of decking that we’re delighted to be the UK’s pioneer of.
