rawketgrl Yes pictures will help. Here are a few ideas. Please consider what style and type of window coverings you would like to have as big arched windows can look cool with the right type of house but can be problematic to cover if needed for light or temp control. Personally I would go with something more rectangular or a lower profile arch, rather than a tall arch. But your house and personal style will dictate what you chose. :)

smikeline Thank you so much. I' m going crazy because I want to make sure I make the right choice. The window is higher up than the window not right on top. I thought about a lower arch also with grates not
to busy though. The doors are white exactly like the two pictures on the right. Thanks again.

rawketgrl I am not sure what you mean by "The window is higher up than the window not right on top"?

I think I like this type the best... Architectural windows with a low profile arch without muntins/grill or grid type muntins/grill look very nice and are not "too much". To me the architectural windows with muntins/grill in a star burst pattern (like the stained wood door above) look a bit busy to me. But that is my style not yours.

Which style are you leaning toward? What style or era of home do you have? Post pics when you can and these Houzzers will help you. :D

smikeline The window won't sit on top of the door it will be higher up. After the molding their is about a 4 or 5 inch space.
