Whether you choose a solid or patterned covering, the range of blues available this year are designed to provide a soothing and calming looking to your patio, reminiscent of the sky and ocean.

Sea Green

Not far from the blues on the color spectrum, is the range of greens especially sea green which are expected to be trendy this patio season. When fully extended your automatic awning for your patio will provide a calming feeling. Regardless if you choose the popular sea green or any other hue within that color family, it will tie in nicely with the color of your lawn, plants, shrubs and trees.

Greys

Just as you’ve seen on the walls of many of the newest homes and the renovated ones, the color grey is slowly making its way outside. Industry experts agree this season grey will again be one of the most popular colors choices for automatic awnings. Described as reflecting a gentle cloudy day to a stormy night, from light to dark the variations of grey being offered are wide ranging. Customers also have the choice of choosing between solid or patterned greys for their automatic awnings. Many industry insiders recommend choosing a soothing a lighter grey color as opposed to a dark one which could be too severe or depressing for outdoor use.

Metallics

We know what you’re thinking when you read the word ‘metallic’ you imagine flashy and brash colors. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. This season’s metallic colors are more modern such as gunmetal grey or the stainless steel that we see so much of in the kitchen. The metallic hued automatic awnings are subtle in color and provide a very contemporary look to your outdoor living space.

Pick a color

Regardless of the color or pattern you choose for your automatic awning, the fact that you’re installing on will be a welcome update to your outdoor space. You will be adding some much needed shade to your patio and extending your living area beyond the walls of your home.
