Are Black Windows Still In Style? (And Why Colored Windows Are a Smart Upgrade)

Over the past few years, black windows have surged in popularity. Once reserved for ultra-modern homes or luxury remodels, black-framed windows are now becoming a go-to choice for homeowners who want something bold, stylish, and timeless.

So, the question is—are black windows just a trend, or are they here to stay?

At Southwest Window & Door, we believe that black and colored window frames aren’t just “in” right now—they’re a smart design upgrade that instantly elevates curb appeal and increases home value. If you're building or replacing your windows in Little Rock or Central Arkansas, here’s what you need to know.

🔥 Yes—Black Windows Are Still Very Much In

Black-framed windows are dominating everything from new construction to high-end remodels. Why?

• Modern yet timeless look

• Works with brick, siding, stone, stucco, and more

• Highlights architectural lines of the home

• Pairs well with both traditional and contemporary styles

Whether you’re going for industrial farmhouse or clean modern, black windows give your home a striking, high-end aesthetic.

✨ Bonus: Black window frames look just as good from the inside as they do from the outside. It's like giving your home sunglasses with style.

🎨 Color Options Beyond Black: Tan, Clay, and Woodgrain Too

While black is hot, it’s not the only option if you want to break away from basic white windows. Neutral tones like tanand clay blend beautifully with Arkansas homes, especially when paired with earth-toned brick or siding.

And if you’re after that warm, natural finish, woodgrain laminates available on select window models give you the charm of real wood—without the maintenance.
