I am about to start some alterations and the front door is currently dark violet purple but soon to be black. I will however be retaining the natural rimu on the inside even though my kitchen walls are dark charcoal currently. I like them so much the new kitchen will have the same coloured walls. The new sliding windows in the kitchen have a pine frame so won't match the rest. I am going to paint it dark charcoal too, with the cedar sliders and rimu finishing.

Many thanks. This is a traditional farm house. Style is SOPHISTICATED COUNTRY. I have looked everywhere for images of black doors and windows but from the outside perspective. There are lots of images out there of internal doors and front doors but I would like to see what black doors and windows (with white frames) would look like from the outside. Dust is a big problem for this house so charcoal/black would be helpful for them. Just cant put my hand on anything.

Black window and door frames are becoming increasingly popular. Especially when capturing views such as those seen in this Airlie Beach home - Botanica. Our black aluminiumdouble-hung and fixed windows frame the coastal views, draw in natural light, and complement the modern aesthetic throughout the home. The double-hung windows can be opened via two panels that slide up and down in the frame to fill the home with the calming sea breeze. A stylish black cavity sliding door opens onto the outdoor entertaining and BBQ area from the home’s beautiful timber, stone and monochrome kitchen. This beautiful custom home was built by Urban Trend Construction.

Black would look lovely but choose a style to match your country vibe,
