Influences from Spain, Italy and other Mediterranean countries combine with North American ideas to create a Spanish/Mediterranean style of home. These range from older homes with small windows and large doors topped by arch windows, to new-style Mediterranean homes that have larger windows, use banks of windows and employ much larger arch windows. Grid patterns create an illusion of multiple panes. Use careful attention to design a grid pattern that complements the rest of the home. French swinging or French-style sliding doors are best for patios.

Spanish/Mediterranean/Stucco Recommended Windows
New and older Spanish/Mediterranean/Stucco style homes can all benefit from the utilization of arch window styles in their design. These arch windows complement the lines and pattern of the home as a whole. A large picture window can also be used in conjunction with the awning window as a finishing touch.
