How about a paint job? Or add a flower window box for some cheer? Have fun with it!
They have caps to cover the outline of them windows so no metal is showing giving the full look on the window frame!! Try lowes.. idk if you can hang shutters if it'd look right since there's a gap between the window and frame..keep posted finished project interested to see how it all turns out!!
I really can't tell how big that gap is. Is it wide enough to slide a piece of wood with tastefully cut out shapes maybe? Siding installers/ manufacturers and YouTube demos might have answers as far as attachment.
I have successfully repainted aluminum frames using rustoleum paint, also a quick fix to add a pop of colour is to paint just the front door. Adding colourful plants and/or shrubs to your foundation plantings is another way of livening up a boring facade!
Why not paint them black or bronze. I see this look on a lot of modern farmhouse updates. Fixer Upper has featured this look on a lot of their renos. Looks great on white farmhouse but it goes well with many paint colors.
You could get some free ideas from pros on how they would handle the problem to your satisfaction. Then go ahead and make this your project.
