About this project
Dark blue fabric gives this Kells awning a distinct finish without relying on a striped pattern. The canopy is paired with an anthracite frame and LEDs beneath it.
The five-metre width makes the blue fabric a noticeable part of the outdoor setting. With a 3.5m projection, the awning provides a generous overhead canopy when extended.
Using a single colour with confidence
A plain coloured fabric can give an awning plenty of character without a pattern. Across this five-metre canopy, the dark blue becomes a clear part of the view from the garden and from inside the property.
A physical fabric sample is useful when deciding on a deeper colour. Look at it beside the surrounding finishes in daylight rather than relying only on a photograph. The integrated arm lighting adds another element once the canopy is being used later in the day.
Solution and installation
Lighting is fitted in the arms, keeping the fittings within the awning structure. A motor and wind sensor complete the installation. This project is a helpful reference for anyone considering a coloured canopy with a dark frame.
