Door & Window Colour Guide - Choosing the Perfect Colour for Your Home

Your door and window colour sets the tone for your whole home. Whether you want something classic, modern or character‑friendly, Finesse helps you choose a colour that suits your property, lasts well, and meets any local rules; including the Bournville Village Trust (BVT) guidelines.

Popular & Standard Foils

These are the colours most West Midlands homeowners choose. They’re durable, low‑maintenance and look great on both modern and traditional homes.

Standard Foil Swatches

> WHITE - Timeless and Bright
> ANTHRACITE GREY - Sleek and Contemporary
> BLACK ASH - Strong contrast with a textured finish
> WOOD STYLE - Golden Oak / Rosewood / Irish Oak - Timber-look finishes without the upkeep

Homeowners are choosing softer, modern neutrals and heritage tones that add personality without overpowering the home.

> Anthracite Grey - clean modern grey
> Agate Grey - Soft pastel grey with a green hue
> Chartwell Green - Gentle heritage tone
> Cream - Soft alternative to white
> Urban Black - Architectural finish

These work beautifully on both windows and doors, especially with modern hardware

Bournville Village Trust (BVT) Colour Guide

If you live in a BVT‑managed area, colour choice must follow their approved palette to preserve the estate’s character.

> Heritage Green
> Dark Brown
> Off-White
> Soft Cream
> Muted Grey

We help you check your property’s requirements and ensure your chosen colour is compliant before anything is ordered.

Inside vs Outside Colours

Many homeowners choose different colours inside and out; modern outside, bright inside. Popular combinations include:

> Anthracite Outside / White Inside
> Black Outside / White Inside
> Cream Outside / White Inside

This keeps interiors light while giving your home strong kerb appeal.
