Design Considerations for Black Window Frames and Doors

Ebony replacement window frames, doors, cabinets and accent pieces are making a comeback in many homes. And their popularity continues to grow, especially among homeowners and designers opting for a modern, elegant look.

It may not be the first color that comes to mind when planning a new door, an updated kitchen or a window, but it truly excels at giving any space a modern look. Renewal by Andersen® of Montana shares a few design ideas on how to incorporate this color into your home.

Tying Home Elements Together

Since black matches well with all colors, it can bring together diverse elements in a room. Casement windows in black interiors, for example, won’t serve to frame elements like white does. Instead, it disappears into them; it’s ability to highlight other colors comes out more than the dark standing out. The dark trim isolates the walls, furniture and other home pieces by creating a negative space around them.

A Planned Blackout

Black is the strongest of neutral colors. It often accentuates minute details and draws your eyes to a certain point. It can also serve as a palate cleanser to tone down everything that’s going on in a room.

Custom windows in black interior for a bedroom, for example, add character to the space without overwhelming you with too many colors. If the room is small, the dark color gives it dimension, making it look and feel larger.

Framing the View

Black window frames serve to improve your view, not by standing out but by fading out. When looking at a beautiful view outside your home through black frames, you won’t notice the dark trim too much and you’re more immersed in the sight. This is a great design feature, especially if your home has a great outdoor view.

If you’re still not convinced black is something you should try, ask a local window company.
