Black Windows Add Modern Feel to Newtown Farmhouse

In the quiet town of Newtown, Connecticut homes are surrounded by small-town charm and scenic beauty. We met with the homeowners of this beautiful farmhouse to help them add a modern flair to their space with replacement window and patio door solutions. To strike a balance between contemporary updates and traditional farmhouse aesthetics, we recommended using black fiberglass windows and patio doors.

The homeowners love the beautiful landscape around their home. Upgrading their sunroom windows and patio doors gave them a better way to soak in the views and enjoy the scenery year-round. These homeowners were also looking to improve air flow and brighten the space. We recommended double-hung windows for their superior ventilation and classic farmhouse style. Double-hung windows feature two moveable sashes that enhance air flow by allowing both sashes to move at once. These new sunroom windows have classic lines and symmetry to create a timeless look, perfect for this farmhouse.

To achieve a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, our team proposed using a sliding patio door. The door glides open and closed on a track, allowing these homeowners to place their sunroom furniture anywhere in the space without worrying about a door swing. Its large glass panels allow an ample amount of sunlight into the space, making the sunroom brighter and more spacious.

The use of lighter colors is a staple of the farmhouse aesthetic. To contrast with the home’s neutral color palette, these homeowners chose black windows and black patio doors. They stand out as a beautiful statement piece without overpowering the design. Black windows and doors work seamlessly throughout the home from the kitchen to the patio and even the bathroom. The color variation creates a modern twist on the traditional farmhouse design.

New England typically withstands 52” of rain and 41” of snow annually, making strong windows and doors a necessity. Our team suggested Pella® Impervia® fiberglass windows and doors for their unmatched strength and lasting durability. These fiberglass products use a powder-coat finish that resists scratching, chalking and fading, ensuring they deliver sleek, timeless style for years to come.

In the bathroom, there’s always a balancing act between retaining privacy and allowing natural light in such an intimate space. For this reason, we recommended adding only one window. We placed it high on the wall to keep the area private, while still allowing lots of natural light. This bathroom window features a top-row grille pattern to enhance the farmhouse charm even in the bathroom. Its double-hung design helps to keep the room light and airy while keeping consistent with the original style.

Our window and door expertise, paired with the homeowners’ excitement, helped us refresh several rooms throughout the home. The addition of a sunroom patio door and windows proved to be a great way to get natural light into the room and allow for easy access to the back patio. We were also able to offer reliable, weather resistant upgrades to their home while still staying true to the farmhouse aesthetic. These homeowners will enjoy the new modern touches of their home for years to come.
