Three questions to ask when picking your arch style:

1. What arch style suits me best?
If you want consistency, then take a look at your arch-top windows. Are they soft, half-circle or elliptical?

2. Can I have several different styles of arches in my home?
Yes! The most common scenario for having different arch styles in one home is having half-circle and elliptical arches together. These arches blend well, and allow you to span greater opening widths without encroaching too far down the stud.

3. What is the header height of the opening you are looking to arch?
A rule of thumb is that the lowest point an arch should contact the stud should be no lower that 6'-8". Soft arches drop the least followed by elliptical and lastly by half-circles.
