How to Select the Right Aluminium Window Colour | Bonogin Homes

Bonogin Renovations – The Impact of Frame Colour

Bonogin is known for its leafy acreage properties, family estates, and lifestyle-focused homes. With so many renovations happening — from extensions and render to full interior refits — colour choices play a big role in tying everything together. One of the most overlooked design elements is the aluminium window frames.

Frames are more than a border for glass; they set the tone for both inside and out. Choosing the right colour can be the difference between a property that looks fresh and cohesive or one that feels dated, no matter how much money has been spent elsewhere.

Why Frames Look Black From the Street

Glass nearly always reads as black when viewed from outside, whether tinted or clear. That’s why black frames are such a popular choice — they visually disappear, letting the glass dominate. This creates a high-end, architectural effect and works especially well on Bonogin homes where wide windows capture acreage views.

Black frames: Hide the aluminium, make glass the focus, and look ultra-modern inside.

White or silver frames: Stand out more from the glass but blend beautifully with shutters, curtains, and pale façades.

Matching Frames With Interiors

Many Bonogin homes feature timber shutters, white curtains, or light-toned interiors. In these settings, white or silver frames make sense. They blend into the background, complementing the finishes without dominating.

On the other hand, black is unbeatable for modern renovations. It frames views like artwork, provides contrast against lighter walls, and adds sharpness that makes open-plan living feel more defined.

What We See in Bonogin

Our experience on the ground shows the same pattern as across the Gold Coast:

99% of our work is black or white.

The other 1% is usually Monument, Surfmist, or Ironstone.


These three shades are chosen by homeowners who want something a little different while still staying within safe, timeless design territory.

How Colour Choice Impacts Renovations

Frame colours influence more than aesthetics; they tie together all the moving parts of a renovation:

Black frames disappear into the glass, avoiding clashes with render or cladding.

White frames brighten façades and are perfect for Hamptons-inspired upgrades.

Silver frames connect well with modern metallics and lighter interiors.

Monument, Surfmist, and Ironstone provide strong ties to Colorbond roofs, gutters, and fences — creating property-wide cohesion.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Chasing trends – A bold new colour may look good today but feel dated tomorrow.


2. Ignoring interiors – Frames that work outside might feel harsh inside.


3. Forgetting shutters and curtains – These elements often dictate whether white or black is best.


4. Overcomplicating – Simple, timeless shades almost always win.

FAQs – Choosing Window Colours in Bonogin

Q: Does black make my home darker inside?
No. Black frames don’t reduce light; they sharpen the view and make greenery or landscapes pop.

Q: Will white frames get dirty easily?
They show dirt faster than black but are easy to clean and brighten interiors.

Q: Is silver outdated?
Not if it complements your palette. Silver works with metallic hardware and contemporary designs.

Q: Should I tie frames to my roof colour?
It’s a good option. Monument or Surfmist, for example, create great cohesion between windows and roofing.

Q: Can I change colour later?
Yes. Aluminium can be recoated if you update your scheme in future.
