Diamond Muntins Help Windows Look Sharp
I like to design by the mantra “It’s all in the details” If or not a room has crown molding, a tile wall features an accent strip, or a window diamond muntins, I take notice. I have especially been in love with diagonal window muntins and grilles recently. A muntin is a strip of metal or wood that separates and retains panes of glass in a single window. Diagonal muntins produce a diamond grid of small panes of glass, also referred to as lites.
With modern technology, many new windows are now made of a single glass pane. To create the decorative allure of diagonal muntins, windows are outfitted with a diamond grille. The grille is usually made of wood and put over the glass to give the illusion that there are actually muntins separating a number of panes. Best suited for traditional homes, diamond muntins are all about the details.

Dawn Willis was able to preserve the original, 80-year-old windows with diagonal muntins within this Boston kitchen. I just love when windows are put over the kitchen sink.
