Grids or no grids for windows

3 years ago

I'm selecting wood replacement windows for a 1980s-raised ranch. The current windows are 6-over-6 in front, including the picture window. I really like the appearance of the grids from the interior and plan to have natural stained wood with the flexibility to paint them down the road.


I've attached a photo of the front exterior. The exterior needs to be updated completely, but the windows are step one. Ultimately, the siding will be replaced with a dark gray or navy clapboard, white trim, no shutters, and front door with only one sidelight. The brick facade will also be replaced with siding.


I'm really stuck here and looking for opinions. I know these types of houses were not well thought out to begin with and that the reality is that it probably shouldn't have grids at all. But I also want to ensure I'm not giving up something that I really love about the house. So I'm wondering if 6-over-1, 4-over-1, or 3-over-1 might be a nice middle ground. The prairie-style windows definitely don't seem appropriate to me. Also, the picture window would not have grids.
