Choose Aluminum
Mjolnir Construction
This front porch features black aluminum columns.
Instead of settling on the usual silver, go for black ones to create a sophisticated statement.
These columns were originally made of brick but have since been covered with wood.

The lack of railings makes this space appear welcoming and open despite the many columns present.
The columns are also placed in between the windows, which adds an aesthetic visual.
These knotted wood columns add a cabin-like touch to this home’s exterior.

Alternatively, mix different colors to create a contrast.
In lieu of brick, bases are oftentimes made out of stone, too.
