Black-Framed Window Ideas to Up the Style Ante
Black window frames create subtle visual drama for every space

Take a look at these six Sweeten projects to see how the homeowners incorporated black window frames into a variety of homes.

Sweeten homeowners Steve and Lewis created several windows with black frames. From the inside and the exterior, the unique configuration would add character to their renovated townhouse. The framed windows visually connect the urban activity outside.
Painting window frames black adds charm to a Tudor
Classic black-painted window frames fit all styles from apartments to older houses. Sweeten homeowner and interior designer Meredith knew black trim would make the mark. She noted how “they fit the Tudor style of the house perfectly.” The finished window acts as a visual anchor for the bathroom.
Dark window framing complements intricate detail
Nazli and Larry went with deep bluish-black molding for their dining room area. The contrast emphasized the intricate stained glass. “We love this room,” Nazli said, explaining how it was the main reason they bought the house.

Sweeten homeowners Bellamy and Zak replaced all the windows in their house, creating an entirely new view. Painted black-framed windows invite the outside in. With this integral detail, these homeowners were able to create a timeless look that appeals to the eye.
Bringing the outside in
Black-framed windows highlight expansive light in a 1932 Dutch Colonial. These Sweeten homeowners added a 280-square-foot sunroom off their kitchen. A wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor set of glass doors set the stage for a grand picture window to the outdoors.
