Black trim windows are the height of style in the design world right now–for good reason! They offer a timeless, yet contrasting, look to both exterior and interior spaces. The question in play? “How do you cover black trim windows?” Our experts are here to show you!
Roller Shades
Roller shades are one of our go-to answers for how to cover black trim windows without actually “covering” the trim. Adding roller shades to your space means you can still see the trim in between each unit of shades and you won’t lose the look you love, you’ll just gain functionality at the window.
Roller shades are easily adjustable, allow for all day light control, increased privacy, and more. With the right fabrics, you’ll still be able to see straight through to your black trim.
To take it one step further, dual shades are another option when looking into roller shades. They feature a view through shade and a room darkening shade all in the same headrail for all day, easy adjustments and control. This works no matter the color of the trim.
Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are definitely one of the easiest ways to “Have your cake and eat it, too” when you want to cover black trim windows. You can enjoy light control and reduced glare while still keeping the look of the black trim peeking through–even when the shades are down.
No matter your style, there are surely shades to match it! Our vast collection of all types of window treatments ensures we can find the perfect ones that match your space and add the functionality you desire.
One design element to consider is whether you prefer to add in extra contrast by selecting a lighter colored fabric, or if you want the treatments to be a dark color and more cohesive with the trim.
Sheer shades also offer the option of dual control. This means you can enjoy the look through the sheer portion, using the opaque version when you desire even more light control and privacy.
Roman Shades
Roman shades offer a timeless and classical look that can also meld with any style. When covering black trim windows, this may be one of our personal favorites! The soft folds of the fabric offer a soft contrast to the black trim and accentuate it in all the right ways.
Honeycomb Shades
Is energy efficiency high on your list of window treatment priorities? Honeycomb shades provide light control, privacy, glare reduction, energy efficiency, and more! The cellular structure of these shades helps to block out the heat of the sun, even on the warmest of summer days.
