While white windows are a timeless classic, a wide palette of shades and custom options is available to you. Now is the perfect time to dare to use color, while following a few basic rules.

For a long time, white was the default choice for windows. Classic, neutral, safe… but also a little predictable. Today, with the many options offered by Fenplast, it’s easier than ever to add a touch of personality to your home without compromising the harmony of its exterior design.

Yes, you have options!

Fenplast offers a beautiful variety of standard colors for windows and doors, but you can also have your products painted in the exact shade of your choice. This creative freedom can completely transform the look of your façade, provided you follow a few basic principles.

The golden rule: the three-color trilogy

It’s always best to stick to three main colors to keep a harmonious façade when introducing color. The first, the dominant shade, covers 60%, and is usually the exterior siding of your home. The second, the secondary color, takes up 30%, the roof. Finally, the third is the accent color, which could be the window trim, front door, and the garage door. On an entire home, this represents about 10%. This rule helps avoid a cluttered look while making it easier to create harmonious combinations.

Can you mix white with a more striking color?

It’s time to be unique. Go for it, it’s all about your taste!

A little tip: if you want a red door, for example, and keep the windows and trim white, make sure you choose the right shade of white. Sometimes, depending on the red tone, whites can appear slightly pinkish. When selecting your palette of whites, always stand outside in natural light, holding the sample vertically. This ensures you get the right shade.

In short, daring to add color is not only possible, but also highly recommended! The key is to use it in the right proportions. With these simple tips and Fenplast’s wide range of options, your home can easily gain personality, without any missteps.
