This spring, why not treat yourself by improving the functionality and beauty of your outdoor living space? One easy and effective way to accomplish this is by installing a retractable awning. Not only will this let you enjoy the outdoors more comfortably as you relax to the sounds of nature on your deck or patio, it also creates a perfect venue for barbecue parties, game nights and other fun activities.
To help you choose the best retractable awnings for your home, consider these handy tips from Barry Best Seamless Gutters:
Consider Your Home’s Style
Your choice of awning should complement your home’s architecture to achieve a harmonious effect. If you have a traditional-style home, forest green, wine red and navy blue and other deep hues will likely work well. Beige, salmon or terra cotta are great options if you’re going for a Mediterranean feel.
Your choice of color will impact how much heat your awning retains, which is why you need to choose high-quality products like those from Sunesta®. Their awnings are available in stylish designs that don’t sacrifice comfort or performance.
Get Inspiration From Your Interior
Borrowing interior elements when designing awnings is a great tactic. Use colors and patterns similar to those indoors to create a distinctive connection.
Base the Pattern on the Size
If you prefer patterned awnings, consider the size of your new awning when choosing a design. The lines must be proportionate to the width of the awning, as well as to the dimensions of your home. Wide lines may overwhelm a small facade, while slim stripes may look jarring on a large awning. If you are unsure how to proceed, we will help you select a design to highlight your home’s character.
