ᐅ Window, facade, and garage colors – something different

Cleaning is also a factor. Makes sense. For me, however, the priority would be the issue of "visual space reduction." Regarding the furniture, I think the dark frame fits quite well, since we will have a lot of white/light-colored furniture and white tiles. I believe some contrast is not a bad thing. As mentioned, though, I do not want it to feel oppressive or significantly "space-reducing."

No, cleaning is not relevant.
I had less cleaning in the old house with the darker windows (also inside) because you don’t see fly dirt on dark surfaces.
Dust is equally visible on dark and light surfaces.
You don’t feel cramped; they are just frames around the window, which provides brightness.

So, flying insect droppings look the same on dark surfaces – they are those yellow specks, right?

And when I compare our light-colored shelves with the dark ones...? Dust, of course, settles equally on all, but it is much more visible on the dark furniture.

Dark colors don’t really make a space look smaller visually; this is more about window frames! BUT – you tend to clean dark window frames more often than white ones, and that’s less about insect marks and more because dark surfaces show dust more clearly. You can notice this easily with glass furniture – if they aren’t cleaned regularly, it quickly looks untidy.

The main difference is really a matter of personal taste: colored window frames give any house a sort of “dollhouse” appearance. If your white furniture matches that, fine. But keep in mind that when you replace your furniture later, your choices might be more limited.

Also – solid-colored window frames can cost up to 50% more than frames with color applied only on one side.

And – fully colored windows are up to 50% more expensive than windows with one-sided film coating.

It's about wood-aluminum after all.

We have RAL7016 both inside and outside, and I definitely don’t feel confined. It was also important to us to have the same color indoors as outdoors. My parents have had dark wood windows since 1986, and thanks in part to good maintenance, they still look great today. Not only the condition but also the style. I don’t think we will miss white windows in 15 years.
