With our markilux 900 clamp awning, the balcony becomes an outdoor paradise. A retreat in the centre of the city: lean back and enjoy the good weather without feeling like you're in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. How can this outdoor trend be realised? Quite simply: with a well-coordinated balcony design. The green awning cover not only provides shade, but also gives the balcony a lively character. Paired with colourful accents in shades of green and a small olive tree, the balcony becomes a new favourite spot to relax and unwind from everyday life. Enjoy a relaxing summer on the balcony: without the sweat and with a little bit of that natural feeling!

Give your outdoor area a summery look. With a yellow awning cover, you can bring the sun onto your patio even on cloudy days. Yellow has a stimulating effect and ensures cheerfulness. It is particularly cosy with small decorative elements in a similar colour spectrum. For patios with a Scandinavian-inspired atmosphere, here with the markilux 930, natural elements such as a wooden deck or plants in wicker baskets create a beautiful effect. Wood and yellow colour provide warmth and vibrancy. Whether in summer or in the off-season.

Integrating a holiday feeling into everyday life - it's easy! Transform your patio into a retreat with a seaside feel. Use elements in shades of blue, beige or white: from the white awning with blue fabric cover to the garden table and chairs in light colours. Combine with blue and white cushions, preferably in a striped pattern, to give the garden a maritime touch. Rounded off with fresh flowers, a fresh atmosphere is created in which you can escape the routine and enjoy relaxation.

Shown here is the markilux 990.

We often choose muted, subtle colours for our furnishings. Why is that? When you look at this design recommendation, you immediately feel like adding some colour and giving your patio a makeover, don't you? Bright colours in bright shades such as yellow, orange or pink create a good mood and energy. They evoke positive emotions thanks to their radiance. Bring summer to your heart with a brightly coloured patio design - at any time.

The markilux MX-3 offers a wide range of colour options for solar protection and picks up on current outdoor trends.

A combination of different mint green elements gives the outdoor area a pleasant freshness. The colour is reminiscent of the water surface of a pool in the sun, when the sun's rays are refracted through the water, creating a beautiful texture and a wonderful colour. Because mint green has a subtle pastel character, the patio does not look overloaded even with several elements in this colour. In combination with light colours such as white or beige, the patio takes on an elegant and friendly character. Under the mint green awning cover of the pergola cubic with a view of the pool, a good mood and summer feeling is immediately created.

Very classic: a black and white striped awning cover for simple elegance with a little variety. The practical thing: when choosing a fabric with a striped pattern, you don't have to commit to one colour. If the awning on the façade (here the markilux MX-2) is already a visual highlight, it is advisable to keep the remaining elements such as outdoor furniture and decoration rather plain. The colours and (to a certain extent) the pattern of the awning cover can be picked up again, such as black and white in this case. Shades of grey and beige are also suitable, e.g. lanterns with a wicker look. Plants such as small trees or shrubs in flower pots add a touch of vibrancy.

With a yellow awning cover, the sun shines above you even in the shade. The energy of the sun is undeniable. When the sun's rays hit your skin, your mood instantly improves. With the brightness of the sunlight, the world seems more alive and you feel more alert and full of energy than on a grey rainy day. These effects can be enhanced with a sunny awning cover. The sunny yellow colour of the awning (here pergola style) is lit up by real sunlight and gives Outdoor Living a cheerful character. Accessories in light shades of blue or earthy colours that are reminiscent of the elements of nature - sun, water, earth and sky - are the perfect complement.

Anyone can do grey, but how about colourful highlights in the garden? It's not just colourful flowers that bring life to the patio. Garden furniture, accessories and solar protection can also add colour and freshness. No more boring. Pick up on outdoor trends: Pop art-style awning covers are an eye-catcher on any façade. Combined with decorative elements - whether plain, patterned, multicoloured or monochrome - the patio becomes a unique retreat with radiance. It's also a great way to recharge your batteries at home. After all, if you feel really cosy, you don't necessarily have to go away to get a feeling of time out.

Grey is dull and boring? Not necessarily, because the colour grey has many sides and can be used universally. Cleverly combined, the many different shades of grey can bring style and elegance to the patio. Light grey tones add a touch of friendliness and dark tones create a sense of calm. If you choose darker shades of grey, it makes sense to integrate lighting into the outdoor concept. LED light in the awning ensures that it doesn't become too gloomy. This makes the different shades of grey stand out better from each other, creating a nice contrast. Matching elements such as bright cushions, woven chairs, lanterns or cosy tops can liven up the atmosphere and create a cosy atmosphere.

Beautiful outdoor spaces can also be created in urban areas. Our markilux 900 clamp awning not only provides shade on the balcony, but can also become part of the design concept. A lush green awning cover creates a feeling of nature. Combined with grey and beige accessories such as an outdoor rug, the balcony takes on a homely flair. Green seating furniture can complete the picture for a uniform colour scheme. This way, the balcony not only makes a good visual impression, but also invites you to relax in the shade of the awning.
