How to Select the Right Aluminium Window Colour | Arundel Homes

Arundel Renovations – The Overlooked Element

Arundel is one of the Gold Coast’s most established suburbs, with its golf-course estates, family homes, and streets filled with renovations. Kitchens are refitted, façades are rendered, outdoor entertaining areas are expanded — but many homeowners forget about the aluminium window frames.

Their colour isn’t just decorative. It shapes first impressions, influences interior style, and determines whether a renovation feels cohesive or incomplete. Choosing the right colour for your frames can transform your Arundel property without needing full window replacements.

Why Frames Appear Black From Outside

From the street, almost every pane of glass looks black. Clear, tinted, or reflective, glass absorbs light and makes the frames less visible. That’s why black frames dominate modern design. They blend into the glass, provide an architectural edge, and suit both contemporary and classic builds.

Black frames: Sleek, bold, and modern.

White or silver frames: Brighter, softer options that pair well with shutters, curtains, and coastal façades.


Arundel’s golf-course homes often benefit from black’s strength, while family homes with lighter palettes lean toward white or silver.

Pairing Frames With Interiors

Arundel interiors range from bright, coastal designs with plantation shutters and pale curtains to more contemporary homes with darker tones.

White or silver frames: Blend seamlessly with shutters and light furnishings, keeping interiors bright.

Black frames: Deliver contrast, frame outdoor views like artwork, and work beautifully in open-plan areas.

What We See in Arundel

Our projects in Arundel confirm the trend we see across the Gold Coast:

99% of frames are sprayed black or white.

The other 1% use Monument, Surfmist, or Ironstone.


These additional shades are often chosen to create continuity with Colorbond roofs, gutters, or fences.

How Colour Choice Brings Cohesion

Frame colour acts as a bridge between different design elements:

Black frames: Disappear into the glass, avoiding clashes with brickwork, render, or cladding.

White frames: Brighten exteriors, ideal for Hamptons-inspired homes.

Silver frames: Subtle and modern, pairing with light interiors.

Monument, Surfmist, Ironstone: Practical options for tying frames to roofs and landscaping features.

Mistakes to Avoid

1. Picking colours for novelty – They date quickly.


2. Ignoring interior finishes – Frames must suit shutters, curtains, and furniture.


3. Complicating palettes – Simple shades like black, white, and neutrals nearly always win.


4. Forgetting long-term appeal – Timeless colours hold value longer.
