Whether you are building a new home or remodeling your existing one, a design element that is often overlooked, but that can make a world of difference in the overall appearance of your home is black windows. From farmhouse chic to modern and sleek, black windows can truly impact the design and take it to a new level. Let’s take a look at how black replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA, can complement any style of home.

Farmhouse Chic

You may think of black windows looking modern and not something you would see on a farmhouse-style home but think again. Black windows against the crisp white of a farmhouse look absolutely amazing, and many people agree. A quick internet search for “farmhouse with black windows” will yield tons of images with beautiful white farmhouses adorned with black windows. This look is especially lovely at night with the interior lights on creating a warm glow.

And speaking of the inside, black windows are a wonderful design element making the windows act as a frame for outside views. However, if you prefer white for the interior, you could go with a window like Milgard’s fiberglass Ultra Series. This window allows you to have black on the exterior and white on the interior.

Modern

While black windows do look great with any style of home, the modern look is where they excel. Many window manufacturers are realizing this and taking it up a notch. For example, Milgard’s vinyl Trinsic Series not only comes in black but features a contemporary narrow frame that maximizes the viewable glass area for a super clean, modern look. These windows also feature equal sightlines that provide a streamlined look throughout your home.

 

Traditional

Traditional style homes are a very common style and are classified by things like symmetrically-placed windows, simple rooflines, and an exterior of brick, stucco, or stone. These houses look tidy and manicured. Because of this, black windows are a great fit as they frame the windows with a nice, clean border enhancing the manicured look.

On the interior, continuing the black window with a color such as Black Bean from the Milgard Ultra Series line continues that tidy look framing each window and creating a wonderful backdrop for the other traditional interior design elements in the room.

But Won’t Black Windows Go Out of Style?

Many homeowners may be hesitant to go with black windows because they are nervous the windows will go out of style. You can rest assured, they will not. Sure, fads come and go and they may be more popular at times than others (just like every other color and design feature), but black windows aren’t going anywhere. They are classic, timeless, and are here to stay.

When you are looking for replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA, don’t rule out black windows. In fact, make it a priority to look into and consider this option. Even if you think you may feel they are not right for your home, once you give them a chance, they just might surprise you.
