The harmonious alignment of all home components is necessary to ensure your space is as warm, inviting and appealing as possible. Of course, this applies to windows. After all, they are one of the most noticeable parts of the home, and the right coordination contributes to its overall curb appeal. However, many homeowners are stuck in a dilemma of whether to match or contrast the window’s trim and sash to make them stand out.
Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento, the local source of windows and patio doors, sheds light on the matter.

Matching the Sash and Trim
Windows that have matching sashes and trim gives the structure a classic appeal and a sense of uniformity. It may seem redundant for many homeowners, but having the same color for both window components can also work out just fine. This is true if the home already has enough going on, especially in both design and texture.
Apart from windows, you can apply this idea when you pursue a hinged French doors installation. Not overdoing it is another idea to consider here. You can pick a certain color for the sash and do the same for the trim, only a shade lighter or darker.
Contrasting the Sash and Trim
Windows are not only seen from the outside. They are also used from the inside to see the outdoor view. This is especially true for the sash, which is one of the most integral parts of the window. As long as your choice of color is not overly wild, you can choose to contrast the color of the trim and sash.
Rather than pursue a drastic change in the visual interest, consider colors that accentuate. Such a scheme may seem small, but this brings large or tall homes into the spotlight in terms of their appearance.
