Help black windows on back GRIDS or NO GRIDS?

Jennifer White
hace 3 años

Hello and help! We are ordering black windows and I am doing 2x3 grids on the front and struggling with what I should do on the back of the house. All natural white oak floors all white walls but I am struggling with grids or no grids on the back of the house. I love the traditional house and I love the modern look. We would love to change the lower left window on the back to look like the last photo with grids but would it be terrible to do the rest in open picture windows? We are for sure doing no grids on the slider. Is there a modern but still pretty alternative kitchen window w/ no grids for the kitchen? I want it to be cohesive but I love both. Any and all opinions welcome!!!!! I order windows TODAY and it’s a huge huge purchase. Oh and yes we had a house fire the week prior to Christmas in 2020. Fun way to end the year lol! The back windows will not have a transom and I did a black electrical tape mock up for fun. Thank you all!

    Thank you all! We are going with large grids for consistency and character. Thank you again to all who took the time.

      Not an expert, but I think grids would add some architectural detail to the back of the house. I think the black will look nice. While you're thinking about windows, any chance you could eliminate the half-round transom on the front? I'm sorry about your fire but hope you're able to have fun redoing things.


      Funny, here's the ad that shows on my screen beside your post. The grids on this house add a lot.

      Sorry about the fire. Hopefully nobody was hurt.


      I agree with the very open grid, or non-gridded option.

      Thank you for your response! We ARE eliminating the half circle and making those windows larger YES, totally agree! I’ve hated that window since we bought the house! Thank you for your sentiments. Everyone is safe and the trauma is behind us. Now the new fun of building begins! 💕 Any and all suggestions welcome! I love both ugh

      Good looking crew. You are at a numerical disadvantage there...but I am sure you manage.

      After seeing your pics above (cute family!), I'm more convinced that your house needs the grids. I live in an 80s soft contemporary, and we went with the no grids like you show in your last inspiration picture. The grids like you show above are more modern that traditional grids and will help push your house that direction without looking out of place. Are you working with a designer? Windows are such a large purchase that you may want professional advice.

      My designer is out of town and I had a last min desire to go modern and need direction and groundedness! Lol

      (I'd also take the shutters off the upper front windows -- too small for double windows!)

      Yep! They are getting the boot too! Would you do grids or no grids on the back? Mind you the kitchen window I posted is getting added to the back lower left back side of the house. Almost triple the size.

      I like grids. But not tons. Do it minimally. I love stileys first picture and how the designer of that home incorporated some plainer ones on the lower level with minimal gridding on the upper. I’d copy that.

      I love black windows with large grids. Do at least all of them in your public rooms for continuity from inside. Do all on front elevation (obv.) Have you chosen window vendor/brand?

      Hubs just retired from FD. They’re awful to go through and rebuild from. That said, there is at least some tiny consolation in getting everything all new again. Just tiny, though 👌🏻 especially if you lost irreplaceable items. Not exactly the favored way to get a remodel. Good luck.

      Hello Jennifer White,

      Sorry about your house fire. I would go with grids on your back of the house to add more character, at the same time you want to make sure your manufacture has narrow site lines so it does not intrude on your view to the outside. For your kitchen window I love the idea of going with an accent piece! Best of luck with your project!

      Thank you! That picture was taken a week before the fire. Little did I know I’d be building a new house soon! 😂 Thanks all.

      Hello I was wondering if you could post which way you decided to go. We are replacing windows with black and I wanted the style grids that you posted on a similar house type but my window talked me into selecting 2rows 3columns. If you went with the grid did you go with picture windows or are they double hung?
