If you like to pay close attention to trends interior design trends online, in the Parade of Homes or on the Artisan Home Tour, you may have noticed by now that black windows are being used more frequently than they ever have been. One common thread behind many trends that you might notice is embracing nature and natural materials. We are seeing this expressed in trends like stained wood cabinetry, quartz/granite waterfall edges and backsplashes, natural stone patterned tiles, etc.
Recently, we have seen several of our homeowners choose to go with black windows when making selections in our Design Studio. Our Design Studio Specialists has also selected black windows in several of our model homes. Below is an example!
One reason that black windows are trending is because they help accentuate the views of nature from your windows! Here is why: The color white reflects light back to your eyes, and black absorbs light. That is why white objects pop out in your vision and are easy to see, and darker objects tend to recede in your vision, letting you focus on your gorgeous views.
One variation of the black window trend that has been popular is black windows on the outside with white windows on the inside. Black windows definitely make a sharp and rich looking exterior aesthetic. One reason this two-toned window trend has been popular is because most people are accustomed to whit windows on the interior. I would like to propose that black interior windows can really compliment almost any interior style and really elevate the look of your home!
Some black windows are large picture windows that have a very clean and contemporary look. You can also select gridded black windows! Gridded black windows give so much character. They are so versatile and can feel very sophisticated in a traditional or contemporary home. Come check out our newest model home in Maple Grove to see black windows in action! It will be done just in time for the spring Parade of Homes this year. Can’t wait to see you there! View more details on our Maple Grove model here.
If you are thinking about building a home with Creative do it! The entire process and team has been outstanding. Everyone warns you about how awful building a house is, with Creative it has been nothing but a turn key easy process. Their team is best in class.
I really enjoyed the weekly calls with the builder. It made me feel like I knew what progress was happening during the build, and really set a tone of trust with the builder that I wasn't expecting. I found those conversations, even when very short, to be extremely helpful in staying calm during the build process.
Creative Homes put together our dream home! We were so nervous about the process and making the wrong decisions, but they were there to make everything turn out perfect. They went above and beyond to make our needs met!
We had an incredible experience with our build by Creative. We LOVE our new home, & are so grateful for such an easy-going process from start to finish!
"The whole process was incredibly easy. I couldn't believe how perfect the house looked the day I moved in! The attention to detail shows in the little things. I'm continually impressed with features I find throughout my home."
