HausbauFensterDesign Dilemma
hawami

Using white all white windows but having black sliding patio door.

hawami
vor 4 Jahren

We have an open floorplan. The living room in the main floor and white windows. Basement also has quite a few windows and they are all white.


I just placed an order for windows and our big patio sliding doors. At first I did all white incl sliding doors but then changed the sliding doors to black upon recommendation from interior designer.


I am still nervous about this change. I think my builder will be totally upset if i change the order again and it might be too late to change (ordered beg of this week).


Do you think it will look too awkward?

    thanks for the update, looks really nice. I'm currently ordering doors with black interiors in a house where all window interiors will be white. was hoping to find an example - it's not easy to find - we may be one of the first!?

      Match all window and door finishes.


      Multiple colors is a sure way to reduce resale value.

      Here is our job site right now. Yellow arrow is where the black sliding door and transom would go. All the windows are white surrounding it. Basement is walk out and the window patterns mirror it except the two windows on the far side with fireplace will not be there.

      All. The. Same. Color. Too close in vicinity to be different colors. I honestly would question where my designer thought that was a good idea as well. Just my opinion.

      Who would buy a house which had different color windows and doors?

      I just spoke to Pella sales rep and showed him our framing so far. He said he just ordered two additional houses today where it was the same exact positions and they used black door/white window combination. Maybe it’s a trend? He said it will be unlikely that we will be able to change the order since we placed it earlier this past week.

      I don’t care if it’s a trend. Trend just means a bad idea that everyone does. Like word walls or tin roofing in a shower. It’s still a bad idea. There went tens of tens thousands in value from your home. Maybe more if there’s more Mr Potatohead Design. And up went the eye crossing too many clowns aspect. You shouldn’t view windows and doors as a collection to have one of each.

      All windows and doors should match match in style and color. Change your order. Even if it costs you money. It will cost you less money than installing something so disharmonious would do to your home value.

      Pay the RE stock fee it seems. A door is also a "window" . Call the builder. Not the rep. The rep always loathes paperwork , or changes.

      Personally I would make them all the same color. I would not want my glass doors and windows different colors.

      Agree. I can't see how mismatched windows will create a cohesive look.

      Agree again ... and I don't see black windows having staying power. One brick traditional house in my neighborhood painted its windows black, and I think it looks like a Halloween house.

      All one color if she wants drama then all black windows is the way to go. If you are not liking it now you really won’t like the 2 colors in real life.

      Hiya! Sorry. My houzz on the phone doesn't work well so I haven't been logging on. So I thought we ordered the black sliding door with white windows. However, Perla thought it was so odd that they actually took down my order as being black on the outside and white in the inside for the sliding doors.


      I panicked when I found out the order was mixed up. But contractor said once we put it in and that I don't like it, he can paint the inside black as well.


      Well it turned out that we kept in white. I think black would have been cool in some layouts. But for our open floor living room, which is only about 17 x 13 of living space with two windows and a huge sliding door, black would have limited our interior design options quite a bit.


      It's a personal choice. But I am glad it is white as it makes it easier to pick out furniture and still play around freely.


      But again I think it depends on the layout.


      Here are some photos.

      I love the black out side and IMO the black inside would have looked great too, but this is all great too, thanks for sharing the completed pic, I also love the transom, totally adds character. :)

      We have a new build house where all the windows in the open area, kitchen living and entrance are black inside and the rest of the house is white inside, ALL black exterior, love them! House is not completed.

      McElroy Architecture - did you end up mixing the colors. We are thinking of doing the same on interior and exterior. Also looking for examples.

      we just received an all-black inside & outside aluminum sliding door yesterday (so it will forever be that color). the rest of the house has existing white wood windows that we can easily (lol) paint all-black to match. so, that's what the plan is. the wing of the house that the black door is going will be painted black; the rest of the house exterior will be white.

    • jenwinston73

      So when installed, you will have the black slider on part of the house that is painted black and the rest of the house is painted white with white windows? Do you have any windows on the black part of the house? If so, are those white? We have some windows surround our patio door and we’re thinking of doing them all black....rest of the house is white. Or we could have those windows white too and the patio door black. It’s so hard to envision! This is a photo of the new room.

      correct; the black slider will be on a black-painted wing of the house. the rest of the house is painted white and will have black-painted windows on it; so all windows / slider are black but house has 2 colors on wall areas.

      I think white windows on black walls pop a lot more (and to me look like they could be vinyl!) and I prefer black windows on a white wall if I'm going to mix anything.

      If I have 2 things next to each other on the same wall I would usually not mix colors; like a black door next to a white window.

      This is my guest house rental. I love the interest of the two colors. It brings out character. I feel the white doors would have been boring. My tenants and I just LOVE IT! How funny I never even second guessed it.

      Windor has black on black sliders I believe. We are getting the bi fold doors but we looked at sliders too. It’s the JetBlack.

      I just discovered Reynaers alumninum windows and doors which have customized colors for inside and out and look to be very high quality in the homes I viewed them in. A very modern look. We will be using them for our big patio doors and windows with black interiors and exteriors. https://www.reynaers.com/en/consumers/home

      Does anyone have an example of black door with white windows to share? We have a black Marvin Integrity/Elevate double slider but thinking of doing windows in white in open plan living/dining/kitchen. We have white washed light oak trim around the door and windows, throughout house.

    • susancarson1
      vor 2 Jahren

      Would you please share photos of your slider? We're deciding between Marvin's Elevate in white and the Essential in black (Essential seems to have a lower profile because the sheetrock wraps right up to the window without the need for the trim) We're creating a window wall with three 9 foot sliders and havig a hard time visualizing. Thanks!

      That looks good. Would you guys do black sliders on a patio that will have white French doors x3 sets? The 3 sets of French doors wouod be facing the backyard, and the slider facing the inside of the patio on the left wall. Or should i just also paint the French doors black?

      Getting ready to update my lake house with light gray/green siding, all new white windows, and a black sliding door. Lots of black touches in kitchen close to the door and deck is a dark, slate gray. I think the added black with some bright color pop touches in the way of pots and flowers will be stunning!

      That will look great! I ended up not doing black because i have white French doors on the same patio

      I was thinking of doing the same thing. Painting my interior sliding door back in the dining room with light oak floring with white windows in the kitchen. Kitchen is white with grey colors in the dining room. I thought this was a nice picture from decoist.com
