Modern Black Windows Accent Home with a Stunning Study in Contrasts

Monochromatic interiors are anything but monotonous. Take this modern new construction home in Santa Rosa, California, for example. Cool white walls punctuated by modern black windows and patio doors create pleasing contrast to its furnishings and décor. Now, take a moment to envision your own home’s color scheme. Imagine walls in white or subtle shades of grey accented with our black Pella Reserve – Contemporary windows. Suddenly the picture becomes keenly contemporary and stylishly sophisticated!

Determining the “wow” factor when balancing black and white takes an artful eye and experienced craftsmanship. The team working on this home called upon our design experts to help bring their vision to life. Our solution was a series of custom-made patio doors and modern windows from our Pella Reserve – Contemporary product line. What was our bold idea? Finishing all the interior frames in lustrous black. It brought a fresh dose of drama against white walls and eliminated the need to add bright color accents. The architect and builders agreed: we had found the “wow.”

The wonders of wood are timeless. Its natural energy efficiency and design flexibility are ideal for custom windows of any style. In this contemporary California home, the wood windows and modern patio doors feature sleek sightlines, minimalist window grilles, streamlined door panels and sleek hardware. Wood provides a durable-yet-elegant backdrop for all of these minimalist details. The designs may be low profile, but they’ll stand up against the elements for years.

Along with becoming a strong focal point in any room, black-framed windows highlight the view to the outdoors. In fact, they help open the home to the beauty outside by visually inviting it inside. Imagine gazing at a landscape painting framed in black. The scene practically reaches out to connect with the viewer.

In the dining room: the lines of our Pella Reserve wood windows match the clean design of this space. Expansive glass turns up the brightness with lots of natural light.

In the bathroom: the symmetrical picture window is built big to bring in more outside light. The custom grille pattern is definitely modern and soothingly uncomplicated.

On the second floor landing: this trio of matching windows emphasizes the clean angles of the home. Black trim and grilles was the best color choice to bring out such modern geometry.

In the bedroom: a dramatic black, French sliding door beckons you to enjoy the sun or snooze. Whichever way you go, its full-light glass and high-performance design makes either choice the right one.

In the living room: it’s the way that ottoman echoes the modern design of the picture window and sliding patio door. We can't be sure which one came first, but Pella Reserve wood windows and patio doors may be customized to match any vision.
