S H I N E O N German design company markilux on how awnings can add to your outdoor living space By EVE HERBERT
A
wnings are usually simple, practical and discreet. However markilux have made a point of designing stylish metallic awnings that make a statement no matter what the style of your home.
“Earthy tones of copper, bronze and brass fit in well with older buildings and country houses”
CHOOSING COLOURS MADE SIMPLE markilux’s design-winning awning models MX-3, MX-1 and MX-1 compact are now available in new metallic colourways with paint containing real metal. To ensure customers find the perfect awning to suit their home, the Selection MX range offers ten recommended colour combinations of panel, housing and awning cover. The MX-3 also comes in eight additional tonal options from the Special Architecture edition. This edition focuses on vibrant shades of previous popular colours, which are still also available, and on non-colour accents. Naturally, customers can arrange all colours individually to suit their own particular taste in the range offered. This means everyone can express their preference for special colour effects and materials in their own personal style, right down to their awning.
CLASSIC The high metal content in markilux’s new designs means the special paints naturally develop an attractive, almost artistic patina the older they get. This rustic charm, encased in a modern awning design, particularly suits older buildings and country house architecture. Radiant earthy tones of copper, bronze and brass fit in well with traditional homes, unlike the usual canvas awnings.
COLOURFUL A number of elegant colours are available for those looking to add a splash of brightness into their homes. Metallic shades in warm ruby red and amber, emerald green and pebble beige are designed to harmonise with the colours and materials of your garden, patio and furniture so that your outdoor living space looks just as well-thought out as the indoor.
MODERN Modern homes can opt for metallic awnings that are more monochromatic in style, such as the black and silver or white and silver effect paint with a metallic grain. Elegant and understated, these subtle colours are timeless and simple, blending in seamlessly with contemporary architecture and design. M A R K I LUX markilux.com/en-gb
