Over the years, Trendz Fireplaces has crafted and rendered countless outdoor fireplaces across New Zealand, and in that time, we’ve seen colour trends evolve. We’ve found homeowners often look to match their outdoor fireplace to their Colorsteel® roofing or Resene exterior finishes creating a cohesive look that blends beautifully with their home. Here are the five most popular colours we see time and time again across New Zealand backyards:
Blackjack
A bold, deep black with dramatic presence, Blackjack is a favourite for modern builds and architectural landscapes. It creates striking contrast against lighter claddings and lush greenery.

FlaxPod®
This earthy, warm black is incredibly popular for its versatility, it works equally well on rural builds and urban homes. Its soft undertones pick up the colours of native bush, timber, and stone beautifully.

Ironsand®
With its deep brown-grey tones, Ironsand® is a natural fit for homes nestled in rugged, rural landscapes. It ties in seamlessly with darker timber decking and schist or basalt stonework. It’s also the most popular roof colour in New Zealand.
