In terms of interior design in the UK, many thought avocado shades were a relic of the past, but recent reports from DIY retailer Wickes reveal that muted greens, along with peach and coral pink, are making a comeback in bathrooms, fuelled by Gen Z and Millennials.
With homeownership among Millennials at its highest level in over a decade, only time will tell if this retro color trend moves to home exteriors. For kerb appeal, UK homeowners are indeed becoming more adventurous in their choices.
uPVC products have also evolved significantly since the "White Gold" era. Although sales of traditional white may be on the decline, the color remains popular due to its clean, timeless look. uPVC continues to be a favorite for its cost-effectiveness, durability, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance qualities, with advancements constantly improving these features.
Thanks to innovations in uPVC manufacturing, today’s windows and doors are available in a broad spectrum of colors. Regardless of the homeowner’s needs or the style of their home, there’s an array of colors to choose from, and demand for color customization shows no signs of slowing.
According to leading foil supplier Renolit, Anthracite Grey remains the top-selling color, followed by Beck Brown and Rosewood, with solid colors now accounting for over three-quarters of sales, surpassing woodgrain finishes. At Northumberland Glass, a recent increase in requests for grey shades, beyond just Anthracite, has been notable.
Abigail Adams, Owner and Director of Northumberland Glass, says: We are just about to install a number of Silver Grey VEKA casement windows on a property near to our base in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The customer has chosen to replace the existing timber windows with uPVC to reduce the time required to maintain them while remaining sympathetic to the original painted grey windows. We are seeing more and more customers choosing to move away from the traditional White once they realise how much choice there is out there now. Alongside growing interest in various grey shades, we've also seen a rise in Golden Oak windows and doors, including patios.
To ensure the best fit for each home, Abigail and her team walk customers through the options from VEKA, Deceuninck, and Residence Collection. Northumberland Glass’s customer-focused approach emphasizes helping clients make informed choices that suit their homes, whether new builds or period properties. Abigail visits prospective clients several times to build rapport and understand their needs, often arranging for them to view previous Northumberland Glass installations to visualize the windows and doors in real settings.
Abigail adds: When it comes to colour and style, it's paramount that the customer makes the right choice and selects the best shade and frame that will work practically and aesthetically for their home.
To provide an optimal installation experience, Abigail values Glazerite’s support, comprehensive product portfolio, and reliable partnership. Consistent communication, responsive technical support, and timely deliveries help her team deliver the best possible results.
