Exterior design help with black windows

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago



So we are getting ready to have new windows and siding installed on the house. I would like to go with black exterior windows and the iron gray hardi plank siding with white trim. the house is Brick and siding though. So the casement windows on th brick will not have trim around them but the ones on the siding will. So some will be outlined with white trim and some not....I feel like this will look weird and unfinished. Any thoughts, advice, suggestions, pictures. Please help me with this design dilemma! Do go with a different color siding and no white trim around windows?

    PS: I would also choose new modern font numbers for your home and more modern looking porch furniture. And paint your front door a bold modern color.
