Do you love to gather lots of pictures of dream houses and décor? Scroll through those pictures and see if there are a few with black windows. These images are some of the most pinned pictures out there right now.
The look is definitely current.
However, It can be hard to know when you are looking at a big project like window replacement if this is a look that will date quickly, or if it’s one to sign on to. Are you going to fall out of love quickly? Or will it give your home a major glow-up?
Let’s dig a little deeper and see if this is a trend for you.
First off, is trend even the right word? If you dig into history, black steel windows were used all the way back into the 1800s —you’d see them used in factories and warehouses.
The interest in revitalizing these spaces into loft apartments has brought this look back into our consciousness—and it’s really taken off in a big way. These windows are now made with energy efficient materials and many modern replacement window projects can take advantage of this timeless look.
