The Installer’s Guide to Colour Trends in Home Improvement

As a trade professional, you are much more than just an installer, you are both an advisor and fitter. This poses a problem because a lot of homeowners are more aware of design trends and want to personalise their homes – an opportunity and a challenge for installers like you.

Therefore, Glazerite’s guide will equip installers with the knowledge to talk confidently about the latest colour trends and to sell more effectively.

The Top 5 Colour Trends For Windows, Doors & Conservatories

There are 5 key colours shaping the market today, especially with autumn being upon us, a lot more homeowners are looking to upgrade for the season.

• The Enduring Appeal of Grey

Anthracite Grey is trending currently with its versatile nature for both modern and traditional homes.

It is commonly associated with sophistication and minimalism, perfect for customers who live in luxury homes.

• Bold & Beautiful Black

Despite its darkness and negative connotations, black is becoming a modern colour choice.

Its contemporary, architectural looking shade looks great in black window frames and its main use is in creating a high end, stylish aesthetic.

This colour can also be used to make a statement, making the colour a bold choice for homeowners.

• The Subtle Elegance of Agate

Agate is a softer, more natural alternative to grey.

Its seamless blend of grey and green tones make it a popular choice in heritage-style properties.

• The Timeless Warmth of Woodgrain

Even though this is not a colour, woodgrain is a popular finish choice among homeowners.

It looks great in many colours including Chartwell Green and cream. uPVC woodgrain is especially popular with its low-maintenance and highly durable features.

It is mostly used for door colours but is also sometimes used for windows too.

• Dual Colours

Dual colours mix the best of both worlds. For example, homeowners can choose to have black outside and white inside for a mixed finish.

This blend of colours allows homeowners to have design flexibility and be able to match both their exterior and interior décor.

 

Matching Colour to Property Style

Many homeowners will know what popular shades are trending, but may be unsure what colours match their property style.

As an installer, you can help them make this decision.

For contemporary homes, recommend black, Anthracite Grey and other solid colours as these look best in modern homes.

For traditional/period properties, suggest Agate, woodgrain and other heritage-inspired shades to create the perfect finish suited to this property type.

For new builds, highlight the flexibility to use a wide range of colours, with modern options being a safe bet.

By demonstrating your knowledge and providing customers with suggestions, you will create trust as they will see you as a knowledgeable trade professional, not just an installer.
