BLACK, THE NEW WHITE

Recently I've seen a lot of interiors moving away from the conventional white window frames, and embracing the new style black frames.  The style appears to work particularly well on thinner frames and adds contrast against a bright white wall space.



Delicate Framework 

Elegance and drama in this gorgeous, sunny living room.  The back wall would be lost without the black framed doors opening out onto a green garden.



Bathroom Doors

Here, the black framed french windows compliment the simple mirrored layout.  Using subtle tones of black in the floor and furniture completes the scheme.



Roman Arch

Using black to emphasise the architecture in this kitchen is an effective way of adding interest and height.  Black iron handles draw the windows into the rest of the scheme.



Black to Natural

The use of iron window frames works well with a scheme boasting natural materials.  The natural linen blinds allow light to travel through and create a bold silhouette.



Crisp Black Lines

Use black frames to create a smart interior, tying in with black framed furniture and other outlines throughout the room.  Notice the designers choice of lights which also bear iron frames.
