White Vinyl Windows With Cream Trim
Within the last 10 years someone replaced all of the windows with really nice tan vinyl windows.
White vinyl windows with cream trim. Will the window and trim difference be okay. The white trim is the ideal match with a similar crispness to the tone helping the windows and features stand out against the bright color. We have to replace our windows and wondering if it s a must to repaint the exterior trim which is in fantastic shape. The house had a lot of trim wainscot and a very detailed painted mantel.
I had a customer that insisted on matching the trim to the vinyl white of the windows they chose a bright white. If you want white trim you should pick white windows. They also chose off white cabinets to me the trim totally clashed with the cabinet color and the vinyl on the window was not even noticeable as a color after. When people get to this situation they want to return to white trim so that their interior wall colors can be more flexible.
Off whites and creams generally look the best with browns sage greens pink beige and green beige undertones. The above house see the entire post here has white vinyl windows but the field colour is brown so painting the casings white would not have looked as good as the cream colour we chose. My trim must be bm white down bc my cabinets are white down and it s a wide open floor plan. Or black but i ve been on a mission to figure out how to paint them.
One of my biggest obstacles in this house has been the window color. Think of window white as 10 on a scale of 1 10. The main ingredients are the roof color of dark green the white window trim and the gutters in black. Question i want to go with white vinyl windows for cost efficiency but i am curious if you have resources for good exterior whites brick board and or good interior trim whites to pair w a white window.
If so please post. And now i point out the obvious. Two almond windows will fade in direct fierce sunlight or show water marks more than white windows. I m planning to paint shutters and door something in the dark blue gray family.
For walls i ve narrowed it down to bm gentle cream or bm navajo white though reads very close to white down maybe too close. And for ceiling i m thinking white down less 50. You do not want the trim to look different than the white windows so instead of painting the trim sw 6196 paint it a white that is very close to sw 6196 but just a bit warmer. You might consider a brown with green trim a white with green trim a green with dark green trim a gray green with darker trim a blue green with darker trim a taupe with green brown trim and other combinations that work with the green roof.
