Keeping your home stylish and efficient could be an exciting 2025 project that starts with the right windows and doors. In the Shuswap and throughout the Okanagan Valley, where homes blend function with natural beauty, updated window and door designs can dramatically boost both their curb appeal and their energy performance. Here are some of the latest trends local homeowners are embracing.
1. Black Window Frames
Black frames offer a clean, modern look that contrasts beautifully with both light and dark exteriors. They’re especially popular today in contemporary and farmhouse-style homes and work well in both new builds and renovations.
2. Bigger, Bolder Windows
Picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glass, and oversized sliders let in natural light and showcase the Shuswap’s incredible views. Modern homeowners are choosing larger windows to make indoor spaces feel more connected to the outdoors.

3. Energy-Efficient Glass
More BC homeowners are upgrading to triple-pane or low-E coated glass to keep energy bills down and comfort levels high. These advanced options help insulate better, block UV rays, and keep interiors more comfortable year-round.
4. Fiberglass & Steel Entry Doors
Durable and stylish, fiberglass and steel doors are chosen for their modern look, weather resistance, and energy efficiency. They come in a wide variety of colours and textures, including realistic wood grain finishes.
5. Slimmer Frames, More Glass
Modern designs now feature thinner window and door frames, maximizing glass surface area and creating a cleaner, more open look inside and out.
