For homeowners renovating their home , the decisions are endless . From floor plans through to materials , aesthetics and function , every aspect must be considered .

Colour plays a crucial role . It influences mood , atmosphere , and the overall feel of a space . This even extends to fenestration , because whilst doors and windows are practical elements of a property , they can shape its overall character .

Homeowners will ask their installer to advise them on window and door choices , and this goes way beyond just functionality and energy efficiency . Now , they ’ re asking for advice on colour and aesthetics .

What to consider when advising on colour

Before a client chooses coloured doors or windows , it ’ s worth advising them on whether their property has any restrictions . If a property is in a

conversation area , for example , renovators may need to seek permission if they opt for a colour which is out-of-keeping with other properties in the area .

The interior colour scheme is another vital consideration . Interior rooms are redecorated far more frequently than doors and windows are replaced , so it ’ s important that homeowners select a versatile colour .

There is also a property ’ s brickwork , cladding , or render to consider . A good option here could be dual-coloured doors and windows , with a neutral colour , like white , chosen for the inside whilst a more interesting shade is chosen for the exterior .

Futureproofing with colour

Colour choices can affect a property ’ s resale value , so ensure homeowners are aware of this before they opt for a stand-out colour for their doors and windows

. Our research shows that unappealing colour schemes can reduce a property ’ s value by 5 % on average .

To avoid this , consider the tone of the colour . Opting for a bright , post box red won ’ t be everyone ’ s cup of tea . However , more muted

red tones , such as burgundy , are rising in popularity as they almost blend into the background like a neutral shade but offer far more interest than grey .
