How to Choose a Window Color

You’ve found the perfect replacement windows for your home and you can’t wait till they’re installed — but, oh wait, you have to choose a color first! You completely forgot to even thinking about color options, and now you’re in a pinch. Here are some tips to help you feel confident about your quick decision.

Your Walls – The first step to choosing the perfect color for your window frames is to take a look at the color of your walls. You want your windows to compliment your style, not compete or distract from it. Consult the color wheel to see what colors compliment the colors already in your home. Have a lot of orange? Choose blue for your window frames. Anything from sky blue to royal to navy will work.

Go Neutral – Maybe you don’t have a consistent theme in your home or maybe you don’t want to add any more bold colors. That’s fine — just stick with the neutral tones! Some awesome neutrals that you should consider are sandstone, canvas, and clear pine — basically just fancy words for dark brown, light brown, and off white. Neutrals are great because they add depth and style to your windows without distracting from the rest of the house. Neutrals are classy and traditional.

When in Doubt, Go Without – Here’s the deal: just because you have the option of choosing a color for your window frames doesn’t mean you have to. White or off-white windows go just as far as colored ones — style wise, that is. Nothing looks cleaner or sharper than white window frames; plus, everything will match flawlessly. If you’re looking for a color option that will make your style look balanced and well thought out, or if you simply don’t want to stress out over choosing more colors, go with white!
