Our awnings are designed to enhance your home, offering practical sun protection with a clean, elegant finish. Each awning is made to measure and professionally installed by the Merlin Interiors team.
Whether you’re creating shade for a sunny patio or protecting interior furnishings from UV exposure, we’ll help you find the right solution.
Why choose retractable awnings? Style meets practical comfort
Transform your outdoor living space with a beautifully engineered retractable awning — a versatile upgrade that brings instant shade, comfort, and architectural style to patios, decking areas and terraces.
Unlike fixed pergolas or static canopies, retractable awnings give you complete control. With a simple arm movement or motorised command, you decide how much shade you need — whether you’re enjoying a long lunch in the midday sun, hosting friends into the evening, or protecting your interior furnishings from damaging UV rays.
At Merlin Interiors, we supply premium retractable awnings that are fully made to measure, available with manual or motorised operation, and designed to look sleek when closed — protecting fabric and mechanics for a tidy finish on your home.
The smart alternative to conservatories — at a fraction of the cost
If you’ve ever considered a conservatory to create more usable space, an awning may be the practical, cost-effective option you’ve been looking for.
A conservatory can be a major investment, with planning considerations, long lead times and maintenance. A retractable awning delivers many of the same everyday benefits — shade, shelter and comfort — without the drawbacks:
- Instant shade and comfort where you need it
- Better airflow than enclosed structures
- No planning permission in most cases (we can advise)
- Lower cost than a permanent build
- Flexible — retract it when you want full sunlight
In short: you get a beautiful outdoor “room” feel, with the freedom to open up your space whenever you choose.
Our Awning Options
Buckingham Awning
A robust full-cassette awning, ideal for larger areas where generous shade and a refined appearance are required.
Kensington Awning
A popular full-cassette design with smooth lines, perfect for patios and terraces looking for a modern finish.
Designed for real life: materials, fabrics and functionality
Our awnings are built to perform beautifully over many years. We work with trusted suppliers to offer products that combine durability with design.
Premium fabric choices
Choose from a wide selection of fade-resistant, weather-tough fabrics, including classic stripes and contemporary solids. Fabrics are UV-protected, easy to maintain and engineered to resist mould and discolouration.
Reliable operation options
Prefer the simplicity of manual control, or the luxury of motorisation? Motorised systems can be controlled via remote and, where specified, can be integrated with smart control and optional sensor automation.
Elegant protection
A full cassette helps protect the fabric when closed, keeping everything neat on the façade and supporting longevity.
Awning Inspiration
Shade where you want it most — and more
Imagine stepping outside on a warm morning without squinting in the sun. Picture relaxing with friends on a hot afternoon under perfect shade. That’s the everyday luxury an awning brings.
Our customers choose awnings for:
- Outdoor dining spaces
- Garden seating areas
- Decking and terrace fronts
