Ever
popular for their industrial nature, steel windows and doors have quickly
become part of home interior styles as internal partitions, shower screens,
replacements for exterior walls among others.
Although
mostly recognised for their solid black frames, steel windows, doors and their
fixtures are available in a whole host of colours to complement any residential
scheme.
Homeowners
can incorporate brass, bronze or copper steel windows or doors to tie an
industrial look together enabling new frames to match industrial accessories
such as copper light fittings or brass framed glass tables. Alternatively, if
the homeowner is looking to bring luxury materials into to the mix, they can
opt for pewter. This colour is perfect for matching steel windows or doors with
the current trend for Scandinavian style. Pewter steel windows or doors work
well with “cosy” items, such as light grey sofas, fluffy cushions and blankets
in muted tones.
Homeowners
can also opt for handles in a variety of metallic shades, including bronze,
brass, copper, chrome, pewter and gun metal. The industrial colours are able to
bring current trends into contemporary and historic homes.
Additionally,
if metallic tones aren’t the right style to complement a home’s interior style,
there are 15 powder coated colours which offer a different feel. In shades of
cream, ivory, green or grey, there is a colour to suit every home. Choosing
cream or ivory shades is a great way to allow steel windows and doors to blend
in with a muted interior scheme, such as soft aqua or terracotta colours, while
deep greens and powerful greys provide the bold striking style of traditional
steel windows with added personality.
