Modern Awning Design for Your Home

When it comes to enhancing your house’s exterior, there are several decorative items that you can add at the entrance, the patio area, and the windows. Unless you prefer these areas to have a minimalistic look, adding a modern home awning can create an extension of your living spaces.

Besides, adding a modern awning design to your house’s exterior can significantly change the outlook of your home, thanks to the awning’s ability to add movement and colour while providing the right amount of protection from Malaysia’s extreme weather conditions.

Modern home awnings also have an impermanent and transient quality that plays nicely against the solidity and stiffness of a building. It’s as if the awnings present a soft counterbalance to your house’s hard structure.

Modern Awning Designs Available at M&N France Fabric Awning

a) Solid-coloured Fabric Awning

The metal awning is a modern design that has been popularized in recent years, but there is also a modern look to solid-coloured fabric awnings. They are available in many colours and materials with different coatings to make any modern home awning weatherproof.

While patterned awnings are popular among business owners, they might not be the best fit for your modern home. Instead, you should select a solid-coloured fabric awning if you want to add a pop of colour to your patio or simply get it to blend in with your house’s exterior.

With that, a black or white modern awning design can offer a modern touch to your home. However, you should be careful with black awning designs as the colour tends to absorb heat, which may not be efficient at keeping your home cool enough when the sun's out.

Here are some solid-coloured fabric awning suggestions for you to consider:

• White awning with straight valance – Installing a white modern awning design may seem like you need to clean it regularly to maintain the colour but it is effective in keeping your home cool at all times. If your exterior has a beige colour scheme with white highlights, a white awning will work well.
• Brown awning with straight valance – On the contrary, if your exterior has many exposed wood elements, you can consider matching or making your house’s exterior stand out by installing a brown awning with straight valance. Select a piece of suitable furniture for your outdoor space and you'll have a unique focal point.
• Grey awning with straight valance – Most modern homes today have a dark industrial theme to them. If this sounds like your home, installing a grey awning with straight valance can add a sophisticated appeal and help break up the monotonous palette of your house’s exterior.

b) Contrasting Frame

Alternatively, you can add a contrasting frame to your modern home awning as it works to emphasise the form in contemporary design. By doing so, you're shifting the focus of your modern awning design to the framework instead of the fabric, which provides the shape of your awning.

As the frame consists of a front bar, mounting bar, and arms, the immobile structure can also feature posts that secure the frame to the ground. This prevents your modern awning design from being damaged by strong winds.

While most of the framework is powder-coated in white, beige, or black to match light- or dark-coloured fabric awning, you can change this colour matching to feature the opposite. For instance, you can customise your black framework with a white awning to provide colour contrast as well as emphasise the shape of the awning.
