What colour to choose for your folding arm awning Advice from Dickson® design studio
Exposure
The more your facade is exposed to the south and the sun’s rays, the darker the colour of the folding arm awning should be to filter UV rays. On the other hand, the more the facade is exposed to the north and east, the lighter the colour of the outdoor awning should be to increase light inside your home or apartment.
The facade
Choose your folding arm awning colour depending on the materials of your facade and roof, as well as your outdoor environment: garden or furniture for example.
Interior design
Consider the interior design of your house, in order to create a balance or, on the other hand, to play on the contrasts with the colour of your outdoor folding arm awning.
Ambiance
The colour of the folding arm awning fabric will have an impact on the desired ambiance. Blue will create a fresh and calm feeling. Yellow will create a friendly and stimulating ambiance, while white will create a calm and soothing atmosphere.
Brightness
Indoor or outdoor solar protective fabric uncovers itself through the light. The colour can then take on a whole new dimension. The brighter the fabric, the more light it will let in and illuminate your interior.
