Which color of outdoor blind to choose? Dickson® design studio tips.
Exposure
The more your facade is exposed to the south and the sun’s rays, the darker the color 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 color of the outdoor awning should be to increase light inside your home or apartment.
The facade
Choose your folding arm awning color depending on the materials of your facade and roof, as well as your outdoor environment: garden or furniture for example.
Brightness
Indoor or outdoor solar protective fabric uncovers itself through the light. The color can then take on a whole new dimension. The brighter the fabric, the more light it will let in and illuminate your interior.
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 color of your outdoor folding arm awning.
Ambiance
The color 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.
Our designers say it best!
Exposure
Whatever color you choose, you are protected from UV and prying eyes. Moreover, if you want to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors, it is better to choose a dark color with a good solar factor, if your façade is heavily exposed to solar radiation.
Decoration and façade
To create harmony between your interior and exterior, choose your color according to the materials covering your façade and the decorative elements present in your home.
Brightness
The vertical screen offers, thanks to its optimal micro-perforation, a balance between natural light intake and glare control.
Ambiance
The color of the vertical screen will modulate the ambiance of your interior. Whites and beige will create a calm and enveloping atmosphere by better diffusing natural light. Dark colors will be discreet and guide your gaze to the outside.
