Black window trim is dominating modern home design. The demand for window coverings that complement their clean and sleek look is at an all time high. We have some design ideas and inspiration to help find the perfect fit.
Why Is Black Window Trim So Popular?
Most of the time when something is highly sought after, it’s because it has something great to offer. Black window trim is no exception. The black frame has a strong architectural contrast. It acts like an actual built-in frame that highlights the outdoor view. It also works well with any design style. From farmhouse to industrial, and modern in between, it is highlighted and blends seamlessly with different aesthetics.

Window Treatment Ideas That Complement Black Trim
It’s all about balancing function, texture, and tone–but not overwhelming the space with the bold trim. We have some top picks:
Drapery
Floor to ceiling drapery helps soften the strong lines of black trim but bring warmth to the space. With the addition of neutral lines, the look and feel will be airy, while deeper hues will add moody sophistication.
Designer Roller Shades
Roller Shades
They’re clean, sleek, and on a roll. Roller and solar shades complement the modern feel of black trim. Maintain privacy, but see a light filtering silhouette of shapes that makes the trim the focal point.
Sheer Shades
When you want soft light with a dash of elegance. They diffuse light and still offer privacy without competing with the black frame. Instead, they let the black frame be in view at the same time.
Pirouette® Sheer Shades
Woven Wood Shades
They pair beautifully with black window trim because the natural texture contrasts perfectly with the bold, modern frame. The warm colours of bamboo, grasses, or reeds soften the crisp lines of the black trim, creating a balanced and inviting look. Together, the combination feels both organic and sophisticated.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades with Custom Drapery
Roman Shades
Bringing a soft look while maintaining a clean, tailored feel. Whether you prefer a sleek flat fold, or a more decorative style, they offer the perfect mix of elegance and practicality.

Explore Light Control & Layering
Windows and rooms that receive strong sun exposure can benefit from layered window treatments. Combining drapery with rollers, sheers, or roman shades gives you flexible light control, improved insulation, and a sense of visual balance that softens the boldness of black trim. Layering also provides complete privacy when needed and delivers both practical benefits and a beautiful look.
