Window help please!

We recently purchased this home and are embarking on a full renovation. We are starting with the basement level (not shown) which has two bedrooms, a living area, a kitchenette and two bathrooms. I need to choose windows for that area now (right now!) and have gotten a quote for Milgard Trinsic with white interior and bronze exterior. My dilemma is that whatever I choose now will affect the rest of the house, particularly the large picture windows shown above the slider in the main living area. I want to paint or stain the trim around these four windows dark and perhaps even clad them in dark steel and I feel the white will cheapen the look. I’ve looked into dark interiors but feel like I don’t want to commit to them for the whole house not to mention the expense.

Can I choose dark interiors for just those top four windows or would that look strange? Do you have any other ideas? For reference, I was planning to paint all the other windows trims in white, and the walls a Swiss coffee. My vision is more industrial which is why I don’t want to paint the top trim white. The floors will be white oak.

Beautiful home, looks like a great place for a morning cup of coffee and an evening glass of wine!

Thanks WOW. We feel incredibly fortunate to live here. We’re in Bass Lake, CA where temperatures in the winter get into the teens and summers can reach over 100, mid-90’s for extended periods not uncommon. It snows on average 5 times a few inches to a foot and sticks around for a few days to a week.

My name is Andre Schievink and I run the design studio Amsterdam Living here in Stockholm. I have been working from my office for the last 12 years. With lots of fun and entousiasm. Now its time to move to a bigger location and share and combine our workspace with other creative designers/stylists/ artists/fashionistas and co interior designers. I am looking for a butik/ lokal on the groundfloor , in downtown Stockholm, with lots of windows and possibility for clients to walk in and see what we are doing or showing. For example if we are with 6 people, we need about 120-180 square meters lokal , with an est. rent of about 4000 kr. per person per month. Amsterdam Living, will be in charge of the interiors and all the communal services. ie. opy machine , kitchen, cleaning service etc. If you think it's time to get out there and start working from a fun, creative and commercial space, or just want to have co-workers that inspire eachother. please contact me on the following; Andre Schievink Tel. 0733303636 or via my Houzz website or www.amsterdamliving.se andre.s@comhem.se info@amsterdamliving.se

Ingen konkret hjälp men jag tror att en större möbel- eller gardinaffär skulle kunna hjälpa dig. Jag beställde kornischer i trä till fönsterna i mitt vardagsrum och det var inga problem att få dem trots att det är en omodern produkt som de inte hade hemma. Möjligen kan du få vänta på leveransen ett tag.

Hej Mona, I hope its ok write in English. I have a few suggestions for you, that should make you feel more at balance and at home with your living room. The shelf above the sofa looks great! Also super nice decorated and not too cluttered (happens more often than not in my house) Instead of having many small plants, swap them for 2-3 bigger ones, placed on the floor. Just because you have a window sill doesn’t mean it needs to be filled, less is more. I love the warm colours, the rusty orange, greens and beige. I only find the white knitted blanket to be a harsh contrast. Maybe it can move to another room? Since your TV is mounted on the wall, I would add a slim shelf/ box shelf underneath (also hanging on the wall) – depending on the type of receiver you have, you can even hide it behind the tv – there are fixtures for that. Then I would remove the tv bench underneath, for a more spacious feel of the room. The cables I would put in a plastic rail/ tub, leading to the outlet. In terms of wall paint, Id go for a warm dark grey on the wall behind the sofa & tv. If you have any more questions feel free to ask Hope I helped a little! Have a great day!

Yes, such a great space and ideal location!!

I would not mix the interior window color in a room (or house). I personally love a dark window, even against white trim. The dark frames will bring dimension to the space and soften the transition from interior to exterior views.

Hope this inspiration helps!

I really do like the way that looks but I really don’t think I want black interior windows throughout the house, thus the dilemma. The opinion helps, though. I was looking at Milgard Trinsic for their thin frames but they don’t offer a dark interior either. Can you recommend a line you like with the dark interior?

The fact that that glass is triangular (i.e. vs. a short leg trapezoid) at the bottom is going to be more challenging for many of your normal materials. There is a ton of protection from the elements so you could just install some Insulated Glass Units if you had a great glazier to work with. That, or you could have someone make you some customer frames for the glass to go in. Getting into the teens is usually out of the happy zone for thermally broken aluminum, but that could still work if the relative humidity is manager properly.

The Milgard rep said they could make that shape in a custom window, but the top ones would have to be modified slightly. As far as glaziers go, great or otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to begin. We live in a small town and getting people from the nearest city to come here to work is difficult and generally more expensive.

I think if the windows are in a different room it would be OK. But not in the same room on the same wall.

Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with other window manufacturer's in the Milgard price range. My guess is maybe Jeld Wen may be the same price range?? What you could do is take your Milgard quote with sizing and do some google searches for local window suppliers. Then, they wouldn't have to measure but could build a quote off your existing window package. This could save everyone time and money. Then, when a price sounds right, invest in them coming out to measure, etc. Hope this helps!
