How to Choose Your Window Frame Color

Whether you’re considering color choices for a brand-new build or preparing for a home renovation, choosing exterior colors is about more than just picking colors that you like.  The colors you choose for your window frames, doors, and siding can not only affect the way your home looks and how it fits into your neighborhood, but they can also impact your curb appeal and resale value.

Details are important when choosing the colors for your home; window frame colors should not just be an afterthought, as they represent an integral part of your home’s design.  Picking the right window frame color can transform a room, enhance curb appeal, and even increase your home’s value.

When selecting new window frames and making color choices, three things to consider are the architectural style of your home, the environment surrounding your home, and current color trends for new window frames.

Architectural Style

Before choosing window frame colors, consider the architectural style of your home.  Is the style modern, traditional, rustic, or contemporary?  Choosing window frame colors for your home that harmonize with its architectural aesthetic can significantly elevate its visual appeal.

Earthy neutral tones are popular window frame colors for rustic, ranch, and contemporary architectural style homes.  Black window frames like the Milgard V300Trinsic Series remain a popular choice for contemporary, traditional, and especially modern architectural style homes.

Surrounding Environment

Choosing colors that complement the natural landscape or neighborhood aesthetic surrounding your home is important.  You don’t want your home to stick out like a sore thumb or be seen as the neighborhood eyesore.

Warm organic colors or earthy shades like Milgard’s adobe, espresso, bronze, or classic brown are making a comeback in window frames.  These colors work particularly well in homes surrounded by nature and a woodsy natural neighborhood aesthetic.

In addition to blending into the natural landscape, selecting shades that are in the same color family as your neighbors’ houses can help create a cohesive feel within your neighborhood that directly impacts your home’s curb appeal.

Window Frame Color Trends

While white window frames are timeless and black window frames are still the dominant trend, warm or neutral earth tones are making a color trend comeback.

Warm Organic Tones

Warm colors like classic brown, bronze, espresso, and adobe help bring a natural feel to any home.  These colors work particularly well in homes surrounded by nature, helping to foster a harmonious transition between the indoor and outdoor environments.

Black Window Frames

For striking contrast and modern elegance, black continues to be a popular color choice in both interior and exterior window frames.  The sleek, versatile look of black window frames complements both traditional and modern architectural styles.
