Black has become a strong trend in interior design. But is it truly versatile when it comes to windows and doors? Here are a few tips to know when to go for it… and when to think twice.

Does black on the inside work in every room?

The trend of black window frames is undeniable and often raises the same question: does black suit every decor and every room? The short answer: yes… but there are a few nuances to consider.

Black: A perfect match for contemporary decors… and beyond

In a contemporary setting with large panoramic windows, black frames naturally belong. They create a stylish contrast and highlight the opening to the outdoors.

But black isn’t limited to modern homes. In a more classic, traditional, or even farmhouse decor, black mullions or sashes also bring a refined and timeless touch.

Mind the costs and window treatments

Keep in mind that black windows come with an additional cost. If you plan to install surface-mounted window treatments, the extra investment may not be worth it. This is something to carefully evaluate before making a decision.

Black and outdoor views: A think-twice factor

Black frames act like a picture frame, drawing the eye outward. If your home opens onto a beautiful landscape or a dream-worthy backyard, it’s a winning choice.

But if your view is more of a rusty barbecue or the neighbor’s house across the street, you may want to think twice.

What about front doors?

By default, front doors usually come with a white interior, often cold and slightly bluish. Yet, a door is a long-term investment, and for a small extra, it can be worthwhile to harmonize it with your interior decor.

Black is an elegant and timeless option, but keep in mind that Fenplast also offers a wide variety of colors. Don’t be afraid to step away from plain white!

In summary, black on the inside is a safe choice in many decor styles, as long as you consider the context, the view, and the budget.
