You might think that the frame of a painting is only good for holding it together. That frame, however, adds an air of authenticity to it. In the same manner, the trim of your doors and windows help accentuate its design.
Renewal by Andersen® of Northwest Ohio recommends the following color tricks for your replacement windows.
Match the Room Color
For starters, always consider having the trim match the color of the walls or the room it’s in. It can either be the exact same color or a glossed version. This helps the room maintain a sense of consistency. After all, it doesn’t seem right when the colors badly clash.
Whiten to Brighten
This is a classic choice and for good reason. White trim works best when you have colorful walls or strong tones in the room. It also blends well with neutral colors to help brighten up the room. This trim brings out the best of other shades and designs, mostly because it doesn’t stand out against any other possible color scheme.
Paint Neutrality
Neutral colors like gray or brown don’t work with every color, but they are distinctive. The authentic, aged vibe they possess can help make your home feel like a castle. However, don’t expect it to integrate with a modern home.
Bolder Is Better
If you don’t overdo it, a bold trim can give your room a unique and quirky vibe. Replacement windows with trim colors like bubblegum pink or sky blue can make a room feel fresh and new. It’s best to keep this if you don’t like to paint your walls as much.
Wood Is Good
Depending on the tone of it, wood can work for various homes and styles. It gives off a welcoming vibe and stands out by removing the need for decorative curtains or other pieces. It also works well with wood wall panels, but should be controlled to avoid overdoing the rustic look.
Black Stands Out
Lastly, there is black trim. Unlike other colors, this reliable choice catches the eye without overstaying its welcome. It clashes with other complex or bold colors, though, so it’s best to keep it as the main visual highlight. Those with neutral walls or plain colors will make it pop better.
