Garden Window Trim Color with Cream Cabinets

5 years ago

Hello,

So many decisions, and I'm pretty confused about this latest one.

We had a new garden window (white vinyl) installed and my new cabinets are cream. So, should I trim the window in white or trim the same color as the cabinets? I was almost sure I wanted the trim to match the cabinets, but then it might clash with the white vinyl inside the window.

What color should I paint the window trim? I feel like I'm overthinking this one. Thoughts?

What color is the trim in the rest of the home? I'd probably keep it consistent.

The rest of the house has wood trim. Also, we are doing wood look porcelain tile throughout, including the kitchen.

Skip the garden window. They all leak.

It's already installed, and it is replacing one that we had for 20 years that did not leak.
