It is often said that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their home. Your windows and doors are often the first thing people see when visiting, or walking past, so it is important to make the right impression.
You may not realise it but it is important to make sure your windows and doors don’t look out of place.
There are three main things you need to consider when matching your windows and doors. These include:
- Colour
- Style
- Glazing
Let’s take a closer look!
Think colour
Modern windows and doors are available in a range of colours to choose from – which can make the choice overwhelming. The colour you choose can have a drastic effect on the appearance of your home. Your windows and doors should not only be a reflection of your personality but should also compliment the style of your home.
One thing to consider is the style of your home. Is your home modern or more traditional? The answer to this will determine what colours will suit your it. For example, to match the aesthetic of a traditional property, a Chartwell green front door with either white or wood-effect windows would look great. This is because this colour scheme will seamlessly blend in with the traditional charm of your classic home and won’t look out of place.
As mentioned, the colour of your doors and windows can showcase your personality and create a particular feel. If you want to create a sense of a welcoming atmosphere whilst standing out from your neighbours, then a bright yellow and white colour scheme is perfect in doing so. In general, natural colours are often associated with tranquility and comfort. As you can see, there is quite a bit to consider when deciding on a colour scheme!
Style is key
It is very important to match the style of your windows and doors to the style of the building. Make sure you don’t mix traditional with classic (unless you are a fan of eclectic architecture). For example, the casement window is often featured on modern properties to give a sleek and contemporary look. Whereas, to emanate the traditional aesthetic of period properties, sliding sash windows are a perfect choice. Your door and windows should go hand in hand!
Make glazing a priority
The glazing you choose is often overlooked when it comes to matching your windows and doors. However, by giving them added attention you can create an aesthetic that is truly tailored to your property. For example, stained glass is commonly associated with churches but when used on traditional properties it will undoubtedly give your home added kerb appeal and reflect the classic charm of your property.
By giving extra thought to your glazing will go a long way in achieving the desired look for your windows and doors.

What our customers say
From the first moment when Arthur came round to advise, measure-up and quote for the job we felt we were in good hands. And his team of installers provided the best service. I always think that the best test is if something needs further attention and in this case they returned promptly to fix a small issue and nothing was too much trouble. Our new doors have transformed the back of our house and we highly recommend this company for work of the highest quality. Thank you Arthur and team!
They have fitted a new back door, front door and front room and kitchen window. Great service, price and quality. We are very happy!
We got our back and front doors replaced by E&A Windows and we couldn't be happier with the job they did. Erez was so helpful as took the time to come to our home to give us a quote, explaining all our options thoroughly and clearly without being pressuring in the slightest. The quality of both doors was fantastic and Adrian’s installation was fast and completed to a very high standard. He was also very helpful. We would highly recommend E&A Windows and will definitely use them again for any future double glazing needs. Thanks so much!
Very professional service! During my initial consultation, I was fortunate enough to deal with the owner of the company. He visited my property and spent a few hours talking me through design options and his recommendations. His recommendations were very insightful and ensured my build looked elegant and modern while retaining the functionality required for an active family of 4. The build process was equally professional with the construction team arriving when they said, treating my property with respect and cleaning up after they finished each day...something not often done by today's tradesmen. I've recommend this company to my parents.
I have just had new windows installed by E&A Windows and I must say I was very impressed. Arthur the owner of the company was so helpful and supportive throughout the process. I don't know much about windows so was skeptical at first, but I felt at ease very quickly. The guys who came to fit the windows (John, Christie and Peter) were absolute legends. They were extremely friendly and so so helpful, and the respect they gave me, my elderly parents and our home was exceptional. They took care of our home as if it was their own. I have never come across such professionals, not only did they do a fantastic job , but they went well beyond, seemed like nothing was impossible. They were with us only for 3 days but my parents were actually sad to see them go. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to fit new windows.
