A few years back, windows with black frames were all the rage with homeowners! If you remember, this was when the Modern Farmhouse style was very popular, and having windows with black frames was a key piece in this home design style.
During the Modern Farmhouse craze, our San Diego replacement window company installed more windows with black frames than we ever have (although the vast majority of the replacement windows we installed still had white frames).
The requests for black windows have tapered off a bit, but we still get asked about them from our San Diego customers. This is because homeowners have realized that windows with black frames actually look really sharp in a variety of home styles, not just Modern Farmhouse-style homes!
Homes and condos with a more industrial style can benefit greatly from black windows. This is because black windows can help “authenticate” the industrial style, since windows with black frames were often found in the early 19th century factories that many industrial homes are attempting to reference. Adding black grids to the glass can be another great style choice for some industrial homes.
Modern and minimalist homes in San Diego can also look great with black windows—especially windows with thinner frames that can contribute to the “sleek” look of modern-styled homes.
Traditional Tudor-style homes could benefit from black windows as well, which can look stunning with the light-colored stucco or stone that some Tudor exteriors feature.
In the right Coastal Casual or California Casual home, black windows can provide a nice contrast to the natural, neutral elements often found in these homes. Black window frames can also reduce the need for heavy window treatments, giving the home a cleaner, less cluttered look and feel.
As you can see, replacing your old windows with new windows with black frames can be a great choice in many different styles of homes in San Diego! They can even help some cookie-cutter tract homes stand out from those in their neighborhood.
If you’re considering windows with black frames, make sure you only look at high-quality window brands, like the ones we sell at BM Windows. Otherwise, you could end up with exterior frames that look faded or chalky after only a little while. High-quality replacement windows are important for any home in San Diego, but for homes with black windows, they are pretty much a must!
