what is the width of the mullings between windows?

what is the width of the window mullings? We would like to use wood windows for a window wall and are looking at 4"mullings. Wondering how that would compare with what we see here.

Hi. The vertical mullion in that image is 2-3/4". The trim itself is 2-1/4". Figuring out the best width is a function of the scale of the window, the room, and the overall character of the house. In this project, we wanted to contrast some rustic elements with more refined modern details.FYI, the windows in the main living space are set between 6x6 posts where we wanted a little more of a timber-framed feel. Hope that helps. Good luck with your project! John
