White and natural cement will always have a place in modern architecture, but color can completely change the personality of a breeze block wall.
Tesselle’s Premium Cement Breeze Blocks are available in a growing range of colors, from warm saffron, sand and terracotta to rich greens, blues, brick tones, espresso and dramatic charcoal. The same architectural element that provides airflow, filtered light and added seclusion can also introduce color into a space in a substantial, permanent way.
Use Color as an Architectural Element
A colorful breeze block wall can become much more than a divider or screen. It can establish the palette for an entire outdoor space, reinforce the architecture of a building, or provide contrast against surrounding materials and landscaping.
Warm colors such as saffron, quince and brick work particularly well with desert landscapes, natural stone and warm woods. Greens can connect architecture to surrounding plant material, while blues provide an unexpected contrast against neutral masonry and sun-washed environments.
Deep espresso and charcoal offer another approach. They provide the graphic impact of a dark architectural material while allowing light and air to move through the wall.
One Design Can Feel Completely Different in Color
Color also changes how the geometry of a breeze block is perceived.
Curves can become more playful. Strong geometric designs can become more graphic. A repeating pattern that feels quiet in a neutral color can take on a very different presence in saffron, blue, jade or terracotta.
This makes color especially useful when a breeze block wall is intended to be a focal point rather than simply part of the background.
Mix Color With the Rest of the Project
When selecting a color, consider the entire environment around the wall:
- Exterior paint and masonry
- Flooring and paving
- Landscape materials and plants
- Furniture and textiles
- Natural light throughout the day
The breeze block does not necessarily need to match another element. Sometimes the most interesting result comes from using it as the strongest color in an otherwise neutral setting.
