Tips for choosing the right railing colour
When Trying to choose the right railing colour, you should:
1. Consider Railing Material
The first step is to decide what type of railing will work best for your unique space and budget. Some of the different options include aluminum, glass or stainless steel with cables. Taking into consideration the wide variety of products we carry from different suppliers to our own systems, not all railing materials will be available in the same colours, finishes or shades. So its important to ask us the different colour options for your chosen material before making your final decision.
2. Do you wish to blend or contrast colours?
You need to decide whether you want your new railing to blend with its surrounding or to contrast. Wit hour design experience we always noticed darker colours blend the most with forest views, while lighter colours are better suited for blending in with water views and the sky. Another option, to have the railing colour match the colour of your house, the window trim, your fascia, your kitchen island, ...
3. Consider the overall experience
Your Chosen railings colour will affect the overall experience of your indoor or outdoor space, it is very important to take into consideration how the railing colour will affect the feeling and mood of the setting. Also you have to take into consideration who's going to be using the the space where the railings are installed. For example if your deck will often be frequented by children or elderly people, you may want to choose a colour that is easier to see.
4. Observe the lighting
Different lighting conditions can dramatically affect the appearance of a railing. We recommend placing colour swatches where the railing will be during the day, so that you can see how the colour changes. It is also a good idea to try holding the swatches at different angles, as the human eye often perceives colours differently when they are horizontal from when they are vertical.
