Lately, there has been a rise in popularity for grey color schemes in interior design and home décor. It’s the hottest new neutral color for the home. Homeowners across the country have embraced gray for everything – throw pillows, wall color, appliances, fixtures, furniture, and more. And now, thanks to ShoreMaster, they can have it on their dock (in a variety of options) as well.
This season we introduced many gray options for our dealers and consumers. Gray Oak Woodgrain decking. Gray Vertex decking. Gray Glacier flow-through decking. Gray furniture options. Gray benches. Even our sister brand, Rhino Marine Systems, is now offering Gray Front Mount RhinoLifts.
While on the surface gray may seem like a somber color homeowners (and dock owners) love gray as it plays so well with other colors and provides a warmer environment than white. Gray offers a neutral color palette that highlights other colors very well. Especially at all the colors present at the lake – the canopy, the landscaping, blue skies and water (gray goes GREAT with blues – especially ShoreMaster blue), and more.
One of ShoreMaster’s biggest advantages in the dock market has always been the number of options that we provide buyers with in terms of decking and accessories – these new color choices put yet another opportunity for dock owners – one that no one else is offering.
