How to Choose Exterior Window Trim that Complements Your Home

Certain elements add a special design flair to your home exterior. Adding window trim can give your home exterior a facelift and provide it with a more cohesive and finished look. However, choosing the right trim for your windows can be a bit of a challenge, so be mindful of the following considerations to help guide your decision.

How to Choose Exterior Window Trim that Complements Your Home

  • Be consistent. You don’t want sleek, modern window trim on one area of the home but highly ornate trim somewhere else. Stick with one design preference for all your exterior windows for the most cohesive appearance. It’s also a good idea to keep in mind how old your home is and what architectural style it follows. For example, if your home was built in a modern style within the past couple of years, you probably don’t want big, decorative trim that looks more at home in old Victorian houses.
  • Consider color. The color of your window trim should accentuate the color of your roof and siding. Some colors simply work better with the color of the home around it. Working with our design experts will help you find a trim color that works well with your home siding, whether that siding be a single color or a wider color palette with stone or brick finishes.
  • Pick the right material. Window trim comes in a few different material options, each with their own pros and cons. Vinyl is a popular choice for window trim because it is highly durable, has a timeless appearance, and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance to stay in good condition.
