There are a variety of window and door colours to choose from, so finding the perfect combination for your home can feel like a daunting task.
Your windows and doors are going to be in your home for a long time. It’s important to choose a colour scheme that you will enjoy now and in the future.
With over 150 aluminium window RAL colours available, it can be difficult to know where to start, so we’ve created this helpful guide. We’ve outlined some key areas you might want to consider before choosing the window and door colours for your home.
All homes have an architectural design that makes them unique, and choosing windows that match this design aesthetic is the first step in choosing the right windows. Is your home modern or traditional? Victorian-style homes tend to suit classic colours, for example, whereas modern homes can suit anything from bold to the more subtle.
It’s important to choose a colour which will complement the building material used in your property. Having the door the same colour as your windows can help tie together a property’s style.
Consider the colour of your neighbour’s windows. You will want to ensure you choose a colour which will complement rather than clash with your neighbours.
For example, with this 1980s red brick home, the owners were originally thinking of replacing the original brown windows with white; however, they felt this wouldn’t work with the rest of the street.
In the end, the homeowners decided on Anthracite Grey to create a modern look, but still be complementary to the other houses on the street. Take a look at the case study here.
The colour you choose should reflect your personality and how different colours make you feel. For example, natural colours can be rustic and comforting, grey is timeless and classic, whereas yellow can be warm, welcoming and optimistic.
Don’t forget the colour you have on the outside of your windows doesn’t have to be the same as the colour you have on the inside. Therefore, you can choose an inside colour which matches the interior of your property, while the exterior colour matches the outside.
If you are looking to be bold with your colour choices, utilising your front door to add a pop of colour is a great option.
With Anthracite Grey becoming such a popular choice for architects and homeowners, it acts as a great platform to be combined with a bright colour.
This stunning new house in Lympstone is a fantastic example of one of our customers using a bright pop of colour effectively.
Our customer had chosen their new entrance door in RAL 1018 Zinc Yellow, which stands out effortlessly and gives great character to the front of the property.
When deciding on the colour you are going to choose, consider the following:
Darker shades of blue, plum and green are all safe bets that will make a design statement. Anthracite Grey is also another safe bet. Its ability to be combined with most building materials makes it a popular choice. It is subtle and will suit most property styles.
