About the products

If you're in a dilemma about what colour would best suit your house, don't worry. In our in-depth review, we'll take a look at trends, factors, and important tips for both exterior and interior window colors.

Choosing the colour of wood-aluminium windows for the exterior:

When choosing a window colour for the exterior, it is important to consider several factors:

1.Architectural Style: The color of the windows should match the overall style of the house. Traditional houses look good with classic colours, modern buildings can use bolder shades.

2. Climatic Conditions: In warmer regions, lighter colours are preferable to reflect the sun's rays, while in colder regions, darker colours can absorb more heat.

3.Maintenance: Darker colours may be more prone to fading and show more dirt, while lighter colours are less noticeable to dust and scratches but can get dirty more easily.

4.Personal Taste and Trends: consider current design trends and your personal taste. Neutral shades are popular for a modern look, but bolder colors can accentuate architectural features.

5.Harmonization with the Environment: The house should blend in with its surroundings and look natural. The colour of the windows should be in harmony with the natural elements and the surroundings.

‍Tip: Choosing the right colour for your wood-aluminium windows can greatly improve the aesthetic appeal and value of your home. Be sure to consider the style of the house, the color of the facade, the roof and the surroundings.

Choosing the colour of wood-aluminium windows for the interior:

1.Interior Style: the color of the windows should match the style of the room. Modern spaces often use neutral black or grey, traditional interiors prefer white or natural wood tones.

‍2.Luminosity and Room Size: Light colours (white, cream) visually enlarge and lighten the room. Darker shades(dark brown, anthracite) create a cozier atmosphere but can make the room look smaller.

3.Color Palette: Windows should harmonize or contrast with the color palette of the room. Neutral frames are versatile, while coloured ones can add pizzazz.

4.Maintenance and Durability: Dark colors require more maintenance due to dust visibility, light colors may be more susceptible to staining.

5.Personal Taste: choose a color that suits you and reflects your style. Look for inspiration and experiment with different options.

‍Tip: Choose the colour of wood-aluminium windows that will match your interior and suit your preferences. The right colour can greatly improve the overall impression of your home.‍

Trends and Tips for Different Home Types

‍1. Family Houses

Single-family homes offer great flexibility in the choice of window colours. Modern trends suggest a return to natural shades such as dark wood tones, anthracite grey or matt black. These colours work well with a variety of façade styles - from traditional to modern.

‍Exterior:

Dark wood frames: perfectly complement both traditional and modern facades, adding depth and sophistication.

Anthracite grey: A versatile colour that is elegant and easy to combine with other façade colours.

Black: It adds a modern, elegant look and contrasts strongly with the bright colours of the walls.

Interior:

White: The most popular choice for interiors, which enlarges and lightens the space.

Light wood: It gives the interior a warm and natural look.

Coloured frames: they can be a bold choice for children's rooms or creative spaces.

‍2.Bytes‍

In apartments, where space is often limited, window colours can significantly affect the feel of a room. Light colours help to open up the space and improve light conditions, while darker colours can add to cosiness and style.

‍Exterior:

White or light grey: the ideal choice for modern apartment buildings, which often combine these colours with metal and glass elements.

Aluminium or bronze: It adds a sophisticated look and combines well with modern architecture.

Interior:

Neutral shades: such as white, beige or light grey, which enhance the feeling of space.

Colour accents: in smaller spaces, coloured window frames can be used as a design element to give a room a distinctive character.

‍3. Cottages

Cottages often have a rustic and natural style, which can be complemented beautifully with appropriate window colours. Here, warm, natural tones are often chosen to harmonise with the surroundings.

Exterior:

Natural wood: A classic choice that fits perfectly with the rustic look of the cottages.

Green or brown: colours that blend in with the natural surroundings and give the cottages an authentic look.

Interior:

Wooden frames: they continue the outdoor style and create a warm, cosy feel.

Light shades: such as white or cream, which help keep the interior bright and open.

Tips for a successful combination:

1. Consider the architecture of the house: Traditional homes can benefit from natural hues, while modern buildings can make use of bold and contrasting colours.

2. Harmonize with the surrounding environment: When choosing colours, consider the colours of the surroundings - whether it is an urban environment or natural scenery.

3. Consistency is key: Maintain a consistent style and color palette throughout the house to achieve a unified look.

4. Courage in the interior: Don't be afraid to use coloured frames indoors as a distinctive design element that can give a space a unique character.

Choosing the right window colours for the exterior and interior can be a fun and creative process that will greatly affect the look and feel of your home. Follow trends, consider context and dare to experiment to create a space that is not only functional but visually appealing.
