Go Bold, Go Bright with Black Window Frames

When you choose black window frames, you’re choosing a bold style for your home. To complement that boldness, we suggest you go brighter and lighter regarding your window treatment of choice. Think of white, neutral, or white-colored curtains against a brilliant, bold frame. This creates a striking contrast between bold and soft, avoiding moving into the territory of clashing. Lighter materials also allow plenty of natural light to enter your home while still offering light and UV protection.

Soften Up Your Black Window Frames Using Sheer Materials

When learning how to dress black window frames, it’s all about balance. Sheer panels, for example, provide a soft, filtered glow that balances out the boldness of black window frames. The sheer materials of Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels also let in a substantial amount of natural lighting while providing the privacy you need.

Add Elegance to Your Black Window Frames

Roman shades disappear neatly and completely into the top of the window, allowing your frames to take center stage. When lowered, they can complement the boldness of your frames with elegant colors of your choice.

Complement Black Window Frames with Nature

Black window frames also pair beautifully with the textured look of woven wood shades.
