ᐅ Window frames: white or anthracite?

I recently saw sand-colored windows on a white house. The tone was like very light oak wood, combined with sliding elements made from larch wood slats. It looked really stylish!

Well, I guess we’re the exception then :p.... anthracite both inside and outside

Count me among the exceptions as well. I also have anthracite (RAL7016) indoors and outdoors.
I’m more of a Bauhaus style person when it comes to furnishing, with designer furniture. I think you have to consider how the space will be furnished later.
For me at least, anthracite works better with taller windows and higher ceiling heights.

Pure white was somehow too boring for me. I had considered anthracite outside and white inside for a while, but then consciously chose the contrast inside instead.

But basically, it really comes down to personal taste.

We have anthracite aluminum both inside and outside. White would be too monotonous for me.

It also depends on the house. In my opinion, a house with red or black brickwork and white windows almost always looks good. A white or gray rendered house should have anthracite-colored windows to provide contrast.

Which window sills have you chosen for windows that aren’t floor-to-ceiling? I’m still deciding whether to go for oak (matching the flooring) or Nero Assoluto (like the kitchen countertop) 😀

Personally, I would definitely avoid dark window sills. It looks a bit like a doctor’s office or something like that—too functional, in my opinion. Wood never looks bad, and I find it always blends in nicely.
Of course, it’s a matter of personal taste. Wood also handles scratches and marks well and still looks good afterward.
