Using colour on your home’s exterior can feel daunting, but you don’t have to paint it from roof to floor to show off its best features.
If you are thinking of upgrading the windows, doors, or conservatory on your property, why not consider choosing frames or a door in a colour scheme that highlights your home’s existing tones and adds a splash of colour?
Gone are the days when choices were limited to white or timber-based colours; these days, high-grade power coatings for aluminium, uPVC windows, and composite doors mean that a wide range of colours, styles, and finishes can be matched to standard industry charts.
Whether you go muted and subtle or bold and eye-catching, either can make an impression with careful design. At Thermaglaze, we’ll help you find a style, finish and colour you love. Our showroom in Sutton Veny, Warminster, has a wide selection of all our product ranges available to view.
Bring the outside in. Create a flow between the exterior and the interior. Using glass panels in doors creates light-filled hallways, a connection with nature, and a welcoming atmosphere as you step inside. Look for similar tones within exterior features that complement existing brickwork or timber for natural continuity. Several of our window frames, like these from the Thermaglaze Heritage Collection, come with dual options to match them with your interior décor.
Blending in or standing out? Our homes reflect our individual style and project our personality, and it’s perfectly okay to want to stamp your taste on your property. However, to create a home that’s the envy of your neighbours rather than an eyesore, we’d recommend looking at a few factors before choosing a colour palette.
“Work with the period and style of your home – is it classic and understated or a bold, modern statement?” This is the advice given by Hampshire-based interior designer Lisa Seal. “It’s important to consider what materials and surroundings will sit alongside. For example, for red brick homes, you may consider a door or window frame colour that balances out the red tones, such as blues or blue-greens.”
Be brave. Don’t be afraid to go bold with your front door colour. A striking entranceway can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your home. Deep tones like navy, plum, burgundy, and forest greens can create a charming look for contemporary, Victorian, and Georgian houses, especially when paired with a tiled walkway. Similarly, bold brights can give coastal homes a vibrant pop of colour that looks fantastic against white walls and stone features.
Subtle style. Soft colours can make just as much impact as a bold palette. Pastel hues can look as charming on a city townhouse as on a country cottage. Take inspiration from Panetone’s colour system or jump onto the trends and use their colour of 2024—Fuzzy Peach. Pinks, violets and soft yellows can look eye-catching on modern and stable-style doors, particularly if you have a vibrant garden.
Remember the classics—using colour doesn’t exclude neutrals like grey, taupe or cream. If you want something classic that will always be on trend, look no further than classic black or white and opt for coloured window frames for a subtle, polished look.
Design it your way. Every product sold at Thermaglaze provides the highest security, weatherproofing, insulation, and noise-reducing features. Alongside these, our manufacturers offer various colour options for their windows, doors, and conservatories. These palettes include everything from period tones to contemporary brights and can even be matched to the industry colour charts, including Dulux and Farrow & Ball. Hundreds of colour options are available, giving you endless choices for matching existing colours in your home or choosing complementary ones. If you purchase a Comp-Door, you can use the innovative ‘Design-my-door’ feature to build your ideal door step by step.
