softyjain, If the windows need to be replaced I recommend looking at fixed steel to maintain the narrow profile of the windows and small window lites. Using fixed instead of operating will be a cost savings if you don't need to open them. Another option for hanging from the ceiling is a decorative light or chandelier. That way you still have light into your ceiling at night. We offer Renaissance solid bronze windows that don't require any finish or finish maintenance. Architects designers love the rose bronze color, which closely matches copper gutters. http://www.houzz.com/projects/152134/Renaissance-Solid-Bronze-Windows---Doors-by-Progressive-Solutions You may also be interested in this ideabook- http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18543834/thumbs/Bronze--Copper---Steel-Window-Ideas

More people posting here are women, FYI. To advise you on this window, we would need to know your goals. What room does this window serve? Do you need light, ventilation, noise control, security from intruders? Will this window be glazed? Where is the structural header and can it be altered? How does the rest of the facade look, where are you located, is it important to coordinate with the style of dwellings nearby? What direction does the window face and is it shaded by other buildings or trees at any time of day?

I'm not against colorful homes. There's bright, and then there's too bright. I wouldn't go with persimmon for the whole house. The photo you provided has lots of white trim which offsets the orange, but your house doesn't have that much trim (unless you were planning on adding some, which I think would look good no matter what color you ultimately choose, but even so, I wouldn't go with persimmon for the whole house, as it's still too bright). To repeat what @nwduck said, the other homes in the neighborhood don't appear to all be done in the bright colors, and so yours would stand out too too much. I like @deco's idea of the bright door, if you really love a bright color. For the rest of the house, any more subdued color would be fine, along with additional trim around the windows, and assuming that your siding color coordinates with your roofing color.

Exterior? Exterior, other options include adding trim, painting frames a contrasting color, adding a window box, highlighting the window with plantings, etc. Interior, blinds, shades, panels, or some combination. If you narrow down and include a photo, sit back and prepare to be dazzled by Houzzers coming to your rescue.
