Home Decorating Windows Design Dilemma

Trim/casings for black window frames?

4 years ago

We are doing a whole-home reno and our window frames will be black. Trying to decide on what to do for the interior window casings--if at all. We are overall going for a warm modern look--not super cold and minimalist, but also not too fussy. A lot of of our decor is pulling inspiration from art deco and MCM.

It is so helpful to have pics in your idea books so we have a clue as to what you like, If you want really contemporay then no trim but IMO a simple trim ont he windows painted the same as the walls will be a nice clean look and a bit less expensive than no trim. Keep all the baseboards the same style of trim and door casings too I love MCM and Art Deco this is our LR to give you some idea . Very minimal trim and painted the same as walls.

A lot of our clients opt for a drywall return and/or wood sill.
