A cottage home needs windows that maintain its scale, symmetry, and charm. Every decision after that should focus on safeguarding the architecture. The replacements must align with the original proportions, support consistent sightlines, and deliver reliable performance without shifting the look that defines the home.
Our team approaches this with clear standards. We evaluate the structure, confirm exact sizing, and recommend solutions that reinforce strength, efficiency, and long-term value while preserving the style you expect.
How to Match Windows for a Cottage-Style Home?
Cottage homes have a cozy, welcoming look. The windows are a big part of that charm, from the way the glass is divided to the way the frames sit in the wall. When we plan windows for a cottage, we start by looking closely at the existing design.
Our team pays attention to the lines, shapes, and details that make your home feel like a cottage. We ask what you like about your current windows and what you might want to improve, such as drafts, hard-to-open sashes, or fogged glass. Once we talk through these points, it becomes easier to see how we can keep the look you love and still upgrade performance.
Key Takeaway: You were drawn to your home by how it looks today, so any window change should protect that overall look, not replace it without a clear plan.
Which Window Styles Work With Cottage, Tudor, And Mediterranean Homes?
We help homeowners with many different home styles. You may have a cottage-style home, a Tudor home, a Mediterranean home, or another unique design. Our windows are custom-built so they can fit each of these types.
Custom Built Windows For Every Opening
Because every window is custom-built, we can handle:
- Different sizes and shapes across the home
- Special openings that need unique units
- Styles that need to line up with trim, brick, or stone
This lets us emulate what you have now, so your home still feels like itself after the project. You get new performance without a strange or out-of-place look.
Keeping The Look You Loved
When we go into people’s homes, our team usually recommends going back with something similar to what they already have. You were attracted to your house by its current aesthetics. If you change the style too much, you may lose what felt right to you at one time.
We still make changes where they make sense. We just do it within reason, so the house looks refreshed, not like a different property.
Pro Tip: Pick one or two windows you love most on your home and use those as the style guide for the rest of the project.
Grid And Glass Options For Cottage Style Windows
A big part of style comes from the grids and glass designs. We offer many options, so your new windows can echo the original details or create a fresh, but still fitting, look.
Simulated Divided Lights And Other Grid Types
We help you choose specific grid types, such as:
- Simulated divided lights with grids on the outside of the glass and on the inside of the home
- Grids sealed between the glass for easier cleaning and a smooth surface
- Definition grids with a shaped profile for extra depth
- Flat grids for a simple, traditional look
We know that some of these terms can be above people’s heads. Our job is to break them down in plain language and show samples so the choice feels simple instead of technical.
Color And Glass Design Choices
Our custom-built windows also come in different interior and exterior colors. You can select a color that fits your current trim or supports a small style update that still respects the original design.
We also offer different glass designs. These details help you fine-tune privacy and style in each room while keeping a unified look from the curb.
Key Takeaway: Thoughtful grid, color, and glass choices let you refresh your home without losing the character that made you buy it.

How Our Design Team Helps You See The Final Look
We know it is hard to picture the final result from words alone. That is why we bring design tools and experience to every visit.
We have designers who can help lay out your window choices and show them on an iPad. We create a view using your own home so you can see how a grid style, frame color, or glass design will look in place. You can react in real time and say it works for you or it does not.
This visual preview makes the process smoother and reduces guesswork. Instead of hoping a style will fit your cottage, you see it on screen first, then approve the final plan.
Pro Tip: Ask to see a couple of different grids and color combinations during your visit so you can compare and pick the one that feels right on the spot.
