ᐅ Which type of divided-light windows are best for country-style cottages?

Unfortunately, it looks a bit chaotic... on one hand, the vertical lines are created by right- or left-alignment of the windows, but then the window sashes create staggered lines again.

And I really don't like internal muntins at all. The most high-quality option is definitely true divided-light muntins. If done well, applied muntins can barely be acceptable.

I find the design ugly, and I believe one should choose either “muntins” or a “mixed arrangement of freely scaled formats.” The windows and patio doors shown here share no common denominator beyond the basic rectangular shape—there is no repeating module size for the individual glass panel areas. The muntins only emphasize this confusion.

By the way, we recently discussed this topic in detail, including the aspect of “the impact of muntins on the U-value”: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Fenster-zweifach-oder-dreifach-verglast.18824/—so I won’t repeat anything here, it’s already explained there and still quite fresh.
