Unique Siding Colors that Pair Well with White Windows

White window trim is timeless. When paired with different siding colors, your white windows can offer totally different looks! 

White windows offer a clean and crisp look. A white window exterior can fit into any design style, from traditional to contemporary, depending on the exterior house color. So, we're going to give you a few ideas for unique James Hardie siding color pairings to consider for your Chicagoland home. 

Why choose white windows for your Chicago home?

Midwesterners prefer the white window trim look. In fact, according to market research, 87 percent of Midwest homeowners choose white for their window trim when it's time to remodel their home. Because of this, we decided to round up examples of well-designed homes with unique siding colors that complement white-trimmed windows.

 

White windows and white siding color.

White windows and white siding is a classic look. This home is clad in ColorPlus® lap siding in Arctic White. When teamed up with the white-trimmed windows, there’s a monochromatic look that makes the eye notice the home’s detail: architectural features, the landscaping, the red brick foundation, the driveway, even the light fixtures.

Birch Tree, from the Magnolia Home | James Hardie Collection, is a spin on an old favorite. Birch Tree is a near white at first glance, but has a slight blue-gray undertone that would make white-trimmed windows stand out by comparison. Flank your windows with a darker blue shade to bring out the undertones for a really fantastic color palette! 

White windows and blue siding colors.

There’s something about Hardie® siding in Evening Blue paired with the Arctic White HardieTrim® boards that make it picture perfect. The natural wood front door and the landscape add to the curb appeal but the color combination is a real head turner. 

The latest siding color trends are darker shades, making James Hardie Deep Ocean a stand out exterior home color. It's a striking but classic navy tone the would make white window trim pop! Finish the look with Arctic White trim and soffits for a striking look that will continue looking fresh for years. 

 

White windows and brown or beige siding colors.

Beige and White Siding Color

The front of this classic home has ten windows, all trimmed in white. When paired with the Sandstone Beige HardiePlank® lap siding and Woodstock Brown Hardie® Panel vertical siding, this updated Colonial feels refreshed and sophisticated. 

For a more rustic appeal, you can't go wrong with Hardie® shingle siding in Rich Espresso with Pearl Gray trim and white windows. The neutral palette is bold and moody but blends into the natural environment. As opposed to using wood shingles, these Hardie® shingles will last for decades and will never rot or splinter

Warm Clay is another neutral shade from the Magnolia Home | James Hardie Collection that has a medium brown tone with a slight coolness to it. This earthy color works well with loads of other shades and when paired with white window trim, would bring out those cooler undertones even more.  

 

White windows & gray siding colors.

Monochromatic is never boring when you mix visual textures, like HardiePlank® lap siding and Hardie® Panel vertical siding in beautiful and popular Light Mist. This soft but bright gray color adds just enough depth and is a perfect pairing with white window trim and a dark natural wood front door. The stone veneer wrapped around the home as well as the posts is a great way to bring these colors all together. 

Pearl Gray Hardie® siding is another stylish gray option for a slightly richer tone. It's an elegant shade straight from the coast that can be paired with both cool and warm colors. Pair Pearl Gray with cool white window trim and Hardie® shingle siding in Arctic white on your gables for a refreshing home exterior design. 

Want to go dark and bold for the home everyone will be talking about? Iron Gray is a deep shade that's both dramatic and elegant. Paired with white windows and trim, your home will be eye-catching and refined.

 

White windows & green siding colors.

Magnolia Home | James Hardie Collection's Chiseled Green is a beautiful neutral shade with slight blue undertones, making it a perfect color for white-trimmed windows. On this home, the brown shingled roof, stone veneer accents, white porch posts and railing, and the dark light fixtures tie the whole look together to create a calming and welcoming exterior home color scheme. To make it even more charming, vertical plank siding is used on the gables. 

For a more dramatic green, Hardie® lap siding in Mountain Sage is a perfect choice! It's a stunning and medium-toned natural green that will definitely add character to your home's exterior. Choose a white front door, white-trimmed windows, and matching Hardie® Panel vertical siding in Mountain Sage on the gables, and stone veneer along the foundation.

Mark and his team did a terrific job and I could not be more pleased with the final work! Throughout whole siding installation process I was kept well informed about the progress and what will be next steps in the process. I'm living in Arlington Heights and anyone who is looking for great siding contractor can stop by my house and check their amazing work. I also plan on hiring them again for another siding project. That would be my parent's home. 🙂

I researched over 30 companies, and had 5 come out to my house to give me estimates to install new vinyl siding. I ended up going with Smardbuild, and I am very happy that I did. They showed up on time, and finished the entire job within a week. And the quality of the work is the best part. They are perfectionists! I have never seen attention to detail like this. They even went above and beyond the job requirements. They installed aluminum flashing around my sliding glass door to make it look nicer, and that was not even part of the job. And to top it off, they installed 2 new wall lanterns that I bought at Home Depot.

We used Mark and his Smardbuild team to replace our roof, soffits, fascia, siding, upstairs windows, gutters and front door. All work performed is top notch. We went with Hardie soffits and fascia since we had prior issues with carpenter bees drilling holes in our old, wooden soffits. In my opinion Smardbuild is the best with Hardie products. Everything looks great. It took us a while to finally settle on a color for the siding and Smardbuild was quite patient with our process. After having issues with contractors in the past, it was refreshing to work with such a professional team that actually cares about the quality of their work. Thanks Smardbuild.
