How to choose your window frame colour
By adhering to a few simple design principles, you can select a colour palette that enhances your home’s beauty and complements its surroundings.
A classic approach is to utilise a three-shade rule for exterior home colours. This involves choosing a dominant colour for your exterior walls, an accent colour for your door, and a trim colour for your windows and other details.
While neutral colours like white, black, and grey are versatile and timeless, don’t be afraid to experiment with bolder hues. You might also want to consider your home’s architectural style and the surrounding environment. For instance, heritage homes often benefit from a colour palette that reflects their era, while modern homes can embrace contemporary colour trends.
The best way to select the perfect window frame colour is to draw inspiration from your local surroundings. Whether you live in a bustling city or a serene countryside, nature can provide a beautiful backdrop to your complement your home. You might also want input from your designer or local window manufacturer.

Simplifying Your Colour Choices
The large number of choices for window colours can be overwhelming, but if you keep in mind design rules, you don’t get confused about your colour choices. Here are a few tips.
Look at the architectural style
Depending on when your house is built or the community it is standing on, Australia has distinctive architectural styles that you might want to consider matching your windows with. Older houses work best with more neutral colours, but more modern homes tend to have more sleek and contemporary colour palettes like dark grey and charcoal, or bold accents to give attention to certain areas. Light blue, slate, or pale grey, however, work best in coastal areas.
Select “easy” colours to clean and maintain
Australian weather is considered harsh in comparison to places like Europe. Therefore, we recommend choosing durable finishes like powder coating or anodising because these minimise the need for frequent repainting. Additionally, while darker colours can add drama, lighter window frame colours are less prone to showing dirt and grime.
Harmonise your colour palette
A terrific way to create balance to your home’s overall appeal is to harmonise your window frame with the main colour of your home.
Classic colours are a great starting point. White frames offer a timeless and versatile look, complementing various architectural styles. Black frames provide a bold, modern contrast for contemporary designs. Grey frames, ranging from light to dark, offer a flexible option for minimalist or industrial styles.
Earth neutrals like brown and green are great for homes with gardens and park views. Brown frames create a warm, rustic feel, especially when paired with wood accents. Green frames blend seamlessly with natural surroundings.
Bold colours are best to make a statement. Red frames are striking but should be used in small doses. Blue frames evoke calmness and tranquillity, especially for coastal homes. Yellow frames can brighten up a home’s exterior but should be balanced with neutral colours.
Final Thoughts on Selecting Aluminium Window Colours for Your Home
When selecting the best aluminium window colour, consider factors such as your home’s architectural style, your personal preferences, and the overall aesthetic you wish to achieve. While neutral tones like white, black, and grey offer timeless appeal, bolder colours can add a touch of personality and drama.
The ideal window colour should complement your home’s exterior and interior design. It should have a complementing contrast and match well with your exterior wall palate.
