Choosing Custom Window Replacement Colors

There are a lot of decisions to be made in Plano, TX window replacement projects and colors aren’t a small part of that. Window colors might seem kind of boring. They’re mostly white, right? Especially if you choose vinyl. While that used to be true, it’s not along longer. You can get something earthy, light, bright, neutral, or anything in between. Colors are now customizable so the sky’s the limit. You just have to figure out what you want for your home and choose accordingly. Here are some tips to help you get the right feel, both inside and out.

Tip 1: Inspect Existing Color Schemes

Unless you plan to paint the interior and exterior of your house to match your new windows, it’s important to get windows that go with what you already have. Some people want their windows to blend in so they want a color that matches the exterior. A slight contrast is also nice when you get a color in the same family, but a little darker or lighter. There are also homes that do well with a stark contrast. Black is popular for that reason today because any light—colored home can use it as a contrasting color. Get some paint swatches from any hardware store to get a general idea of the color you might like against what you already have on your home.

Tip 2: Keep Your Eyes On The Future

If you get vinyl window replacement, which is what most homeowners do today, you will want to keep an extra eye on the color you choose because you can’t change it later. You need to make sure you like the color now, and that you will like it later. You can’t paint the siding a completely different color five years from now unless the windows also go with that color. Think about the future and whether or not you might make any changes that would impact the window color you need.

Tip 3: Utilize Others For Inspiration

Take a walk around neighborhoods in your area that you’ve always found attractive and pay special attention to the windows on the homes you admire the most. Do the dark colors blend together? Is there a contrast? Is everything neutral? What do you like about those windows and what would you want to carry over to your own home? Knowing your preferences can go a long way when you are looking into color options for your own window replacement.
