A craftsman bungalow, however, may better lend itself to more simplistic grids, such as prairie or colonial.
ADDING WINDOW GRIDS WINDOWS
Once you’ve committed to a certain look, finding options that balance curb appeal with functional desires, such as more natural light in certain rooms, becomes an easier journey.įor example, if your home is built in the Tudor style, which features steep pitches and intricate ornamentation, consider windows with classic grids or even decorative detailed glass to bolster the traditional Tudor look and feel. Find your styleĭo research on your home’s style to see what type of window grids will complement its basic architecture. Otherwise, you’ll have your neighbors commenting on your “interesting” style rather than your beautiful new windows. For most homes, it can be helpful to keep the variety of window grid styles to two or fewer, especially if the windows vary in shape. Occasionally, however, the temptation to customize goes a little haywire, and a single façade ends up with far too many different shapes and grid patterns, such as a few traditional colonial grids, some stained glass, blank panes, and more.įor a cohesive aesthetic, less is more and consistency is valued.
Those windows may have different shapes, providing ample opportunity for customization.
Keep it simpleĭepending on its style, your home may have a lot of windows across its façade. Check out our tips for choosing the best window grid style for your home. With so many patterns, combinations, and materials available, it can be difficult to know which type of grid complements the interior and exterior of your home best. But my suggestion is to really look around at the range of window choices, and even look at windows in price ranges you might never consider just so you really understand what you are choosing between.Window grids are a distinctive way to add personality to your home, and the style of your home can play a major role in the type of grid you select. Obviously, it's your house and the only opinion that really matters is yours. That said, this is all just my opinion, and even other people who agree with me don't seem have the same visceral reaction I have to snap ons and between the pane windows. Now, simulated divided light are fake too. I would much rather see a decently trimmed, well chosen window with no grids than either snap-on or between the glass fake grids. It's a pretty traditional house, and I think windows with muntins, or a reasonably facsimile, like simulated divided light, would be optimal.īut, IMO, snap in or between the glass grids scream "FAKE!!!!" It's one of those things where you get what you pay for and there are no substitutes. I feel like the responses so far have not considered the how you would achieve the "grid look." Unfortunately, any reasonable approximation of traditional divided light windows with muntins is very expensive. Would still love some encouragement/advice, though :) We plan to have interior doors like these: Rear exterior patio doors like these: Kitchen cabinets like these: Wainscoting like this: Columns like these: My husband says I'm over-analyzing and it will all look great. Is it okay to have a mixture of craftsman and traditional elements on the interior and it not look hodge-podgey? I want a cohesive feel on the interior. But, my question still remains about the interior work. This will maintain the architect's renderings. We have decided to stay with our original decision to have the 6 over 6 lite windows and use 4 over 4 lite for the smaller windows on the side of the house.
By moving the door, it will allow us to create a foyer and have better furniture placement. Also, currently, our front door enters into the middle of a large cathedral ceiling living room. Thanks, everyone! We would probably leave the house as it was, BUT we ran into issues with our local septic department in our county because we are adding an additional bedroom which, long story short, means we have to move the front door to the left.
