Modern Home Design

The type of new construction home window and modern interior and exterior home design go hand in hand. A home that features sharp, clean and crisp lines clearly depict a contemporary architectural style. This design approach utilizes materials such as vinyl, glass, and steel to create a simple yet beautiful aesthetic. For modern new construction projects, the color of the home window frames should blend in with the overall color scheme of the house. Neutral shades, are popular choices for creating a clean and serene atmosphere. Soft pastels can be used to add a touch of color without overwhelming the space. Darker shades can be used as accents for a more dramatic effect. The right modern casement window, can beautifully complement the clean lines and minimalist appeal of modern home designs.

Traditional Design

Classic and timeless characteristics serve as the inspiration for traditional interior and exterior home design. The home windows should ideally feature ornate embellishments or components of historic style. This design combines the grace and elegance of time-honored classics, resulting in a warm and welcoming environment. For traditional homes, the color of the window frames should pop out and contrast with the colors of the house. Warm and rich colors like deep reds, golden yellows, and olive greens are popular choices for creating a cozy ambiance. Earthy tones such as terracotta, sienna, and rust evoke a sense of tradition and natural warmth. Bolder shades like navy blue and forest green are used as accents to add depth and richness. These traditional casement windows in Ontario Canada, will enhance the classic appeal of traditional home designs.

Modern Window Colours

One of the key factors that can transform the appearance of a custom home from bland to sleek and contemporary is the choice in the home’s window frame colour. Modern homes often feature sleek and minimalist designs, where bold and vibrant colors can create a the right balance of harmony and contrast. Choosing contemporary shades like black, charcoal or crisp white can add a touch of sophistication to the overall look of the new construction home. These modern color choices not only blend seamlessly with the clean lines of the window but also contribute to a fresh and contemporary feel.

Traditional Window Colours

In contrast to modern homes, traditional new construction homes tend to exude European design styles and a classic timeless appeal. To achieve a traditional look, the home window colours should emulate the natural warmth and richness found in nature. These earthy tones create a warm and inviting ambiance, enhancing the traditional style of the home while maintaining the elegance of casement windows.


Grilles for Casement Home Windows

Window grilles can add a whole new dimension of luxurious style and level-up the beauty of a new construction home. They are an excellent way to add character and add a flair of “high-end design” elements to casement windows. Grilles typically consist of horizontal and vertical bars that divide the glass, providing a decorative element that can be customized to suit the preferred style of the home. Window City offers grille customizations to create unique modern and traditional architectural elements

For a modern style, casement window grilles tend to feature simpler, sleeker designs that prioritize functionality over decoration. These grilles often have straight lines and geometric shapes, enhancing the contemporary esthetic of the new construction home.

Markham is the largest city in the Regional Municipality of York, and 16th largest in Canada. The City of Markham has quickly emerged as one of the most coveted places to live in the Greater Toronto Area. In Markham a building permit is required for the following projects related to windows and doors:


Modern and Traditional Home Window Hardware

In addition to colours and grilles, the window hardware plays a vital role in the overall look of the final casement window. For a modern casement window, sleek and minimalist hardware finishes work best. Brushed nickel, matte black, or polished chrome can seamlessly blend with the contemporary design. Conversely, for a traditional touch, opt for hardware finishes with more ornate details, such as antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze.

Window Trim
Home Window Trim

When it comes to transforming the appearance of a casement window, the window trim plays a significant role. Different types of window trim can completely change the look and feel of the window. In modern designs, trim is more streamlined and often painted the same color as the wall or in complementary neutral tones. In contrast, traditional window trim tends to be larger, more ornate, and painted in contrasting colours to create a distinct visual impact. Traditional trim often features decorative elements such as scrollwork or intricate patterns, while modern trim boasts clean lines and sharp corners.
