How to Cover Black Trim Windows

One of the growing trends to see over the past few years? Black Trim Windows! We love the contrast, the definition, and the way the view is framed. Making the decision to bring this contemporary look into your home involves intentional style. But, how do you cover black trim windows? Let us show you!

 

Roller Shades

This will be among the most popular answers given. The reasoning is that when you want to cover black trim windows, chances are you still want to enjoy the look. Roller shades are a simple, sleek way to get privacy and light control, while also easily rolling them up out of the way. And, with the right fabrics, you can still see through to the dark trim, even when the shades are lowered in place.

One option homeowners are loving is the dual shades feature. This system lets you have see-through viewing in one position and room darkening when the secondary shade drops in place.

Sheer Shades

Much like roller shades, sheer shades allow you to have access to light control and privacy, but also experience view-through.

Depending upon which shadings you choose, you will have additional features. From dual shades, to all-in-one control, it really comes down to your style preference.

One important consideration when you cover black trim windows is whether you’d like to contrast the dark with a light colored fabric, or blend the look with something dark.

Even better, choose a shading system that offers dual control, so you can enjoy the look when you want, but cover up when you need more privacy and light control.

Roman Shades

The luxurious folds of roman shades fabric are always popular–for any window style. But, when you cover black trim windows, the folds bring dimension to the window for an added style boost.
