Your windows’ color palette can elevate the aesthetic appeal of your entire home. That’s why local roofing companies and window installers recommend covering all bases when it comes to picking the right interior and exterior window trim colors. Continue reading as we share tips on choosing the right hues and shades for your home.
Consider Warm and Cool Colors
You may have heard the terms “warm” and “cool” when referring to colors. The former pertains to shades of red, yellow, orange and brown, while the latter refers to blues, greys, purples and greens. Warm tones are widely common in traditional architecture, while their cool counterparts are popular for modern or contemporary design aesthetics. Find out which spectrum of colors to choose that works best for your home and continue from there.
Check the Walls
The walls surrounding your windows should also give you a hint of what trim color to choose. It is always a good idea to create a contrast to allow the window to stand out when seen from both inside and outside your home. Alternatively, if you want your casement or picture window to look subtle and subdued, you can choose trim colors that are a shade lighter or darker than the surrounding walls.
Think Long-Term
Your choice of trim color for your windows will remain mostly the same for years or even decades. However, expect it to fade or discolor at some point, requiring a bit of retouching to restore its sheen and overall appearance. However, this can be quite challenging, especially for bold hues in which fading becomes more obvious and would need more frequent painting and staining than with subtle shades. Consider picking a trim material that doesn’t require heavy maintenance.
