If you are looking to redo your outside living area or furnishing the patio, it can be overwhelming. Gone are the days when there were not many options when it comes to choosing the fabric, colours or the patterns of an awning.

But, today, with the advancements in technology, you can have your awnings matching with your outdoor lifestyle.

Yes, today, there are a wide range of awning fabric, colours, and shapes to choose from for both residential and commercial applications, making it difficult for awning buyers. You can even customise the retractable roofs Sydney systems according to your needs and budget.

The style that you choose for your awning depends on your primary objectives. The word “style” represents colour, fabric, size and the purpose of the awning. These are the factors you need to consider while choosing the awning.

Colour:

Always look for fabrics that complement the architectural style of your home. You can also go for traditional colours such as forest green, navy or neutrals. Stripes are also an excellent choice for cottage and colonials-style homes.

For contemporary style homes, consider using a bright colour or unanticipated contrast. If your home is constructed recently – keep the awning design simple with multiple- angled rooflines.

Pattern:

Choose the patterns which are proportional to the size of your structure and awning. Wide stripes can overwhelm a small ranch-style home, and small stripes may not look good on big ones.

Type of awning:

There are three basic types of awning such as stationery, retractable and free standing. While the types of awning has its own benefits, retractable roof systems sydney is the most popular choice among homeowners.

Retractable awnings are perfect for decks and patios because they have a mechanism that allows extending as far as possible. You can operate the awning with the help of a remote.

Size:

When it comes to choosing the awning, size is one of the significant factors you need to consider. Small awnings are typically for aesthetic purposes rather than their protective function. You can also install a big one if you want to maximise the outdoor space.

Purpose:

Before choosing an awning, consider the purpose of the awning. Decide whether it is for occasional, regular or intensive usage. If you are not sure, speak with the professional who is specialised in awnings.

Tips to design a custom fabric awning:

  • If your goal is to reduce the heat inside the building, then go for light colours that will increase the reflection of sunlight. Speak with the designer for more tips to help increase the functional properties of the awning.
  • Do not go overboard with the pattern. Patterns such as stripes and colour blocking are a great way to help stand out your customised awning from others.
  • No matter whether you want your retractable roofs to stand out or blend in, it is essential to choose a fabric that will be complementary.
  • Apart from considering the architectural design of your house, you should also consider the colour of the home. Neutral colours will have more creative freedom, but make sure to choose the colours that perfectly blend the style of your house.
