What colour should an aluminium bioclimatic pergola be?

Highly decorative, the pergola offers real added value to the outdoor space of a property. These days, the most popular pergolas are made from aluminium. Durable, robust and requiring very little maintenance, this material has the particularity of being available in a wide range of colours. So which colour should you choose? What colour should you choose to make your pergola the most charming feature of your home?

As we've seen, contemporary pergolas often have an aluminium structure . However, as tastes and colours are not universal, you can choose to install a wooden or wrought iron pergola. We do not recommend PVC, which is not durable and cannot be treated. The architecture of your pergola will differ according to the material you choose.

To determine the style of your pergola, you'll need to take into account the character of your home. If your home is contemporary and uncluttered, there's nothing like a bioclimatic pergola to keep things modern. If your home is more rustic, a wooden or wrought iron pergola will add charm to your garden, although a powder-coated aluminium pergola will be much easier to maintain.

There are dozens of colours on the aluminium pergola market. If you're afraid of making a mistake, opt for a colour in the same tones as your home, or a classic one like anthracite grey. You can then decorate it as you wish. Decorative colours are much easier to change than the colour of a pergola! If you like bohemian colours, a few colourful curtains, cushions and some pretty garden furniture will brighten up the space. For a lean-to pergola, choose a colour that matches the front of the house. This will create continuity and add character to your property by enlarging it.

When you think pergola, you think plants and greenery. And with good reason! The roofs of old wooden or wrought iron pergolas were made from climbing plants. Today's more modern pergolas, with their many options, also have to blend in with their surroundings so as not to clash with the outside. To keep in the light, you can choose a light colour for the roof of your pergola. If it's a bioclimatic pergola, light-coloured adjustable slats such as white or cream will give maximum light to your new living space. And if, despite everything, you decide to install a rainbow pergola, you'll have plenty of time to customise it to your taste, by asking your builder for advice!
