How to Cover Uniquely Shaped Windows

A non-traditional-shaped window can be a beautiful part of your home. They add character, curb appeal to the outside, and a fun and unique view from the inside. However, they can also present a challenge when finding a window covering. Traditional shades, curtains, and blinds aren’t made to fit round or hexagonal windows. Even arches and sunburst windows can present a difficult challenge to cover. At Jackie & Bill’s Drapery & Interiors, we can help take that stress away as we offer several Hunter Douglas windows covering options for even the most oddly shaped windows.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades near Wichita, Kansas (KS) and other Hunter Douglas shades for uniquely shaped windows.

Bay Windows & Angled Windows

These windows are the closest to traditional square and rectangular windows, but they still present unique challenges. Angled windows don’t have square corners for a headrail to rest in, and bay windows meet at an angle that makes it difficult for two window treatments to fit. However, we have several solutions that will fit these windows perfectly. Vertical blinds are a great option for both of these window shapes, and Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds offer several opacity options to choose from. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can also be custom fit to provide complete coverage and added energy efficiency to these types of windows.

Arched Windows

Often placed above a traditional window, these aesthetic arches can allow sunlight while maintaining privacy. When it comes to covering them, we have several recommendations. Cellular shades like Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a lovely option that easily operates with the EasyView® Arch Feature. All of our Hunter Douglas blinds can also be custom cut to fit in an arched window and will perfectly match the other blinds in your home. If you want to step up the look of your windows, then Shutters might be the best choice. They can run horizontally like blinds, or they can be designed in a sunburst pattern that follows the shape of the arch.

Circles, Ovals, Hexagons, and Octagons

Pirouette® Window Shadings and Duette® Honeycomb Shades are both beautiful options for circular, ovular, hexagonal, and octagonal windows, but Hunter Douglas Shutters are the superior choice. When it comes to unique windows like these, shutters apart from other window treatments are their versatility and design options. You can choose from the 100% hardwood Heritance® Shutters, the faux-wood NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters, or the humidity-resistant Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. These plantation shutters can be custom cut to fit the window and aren’t limited to the simple up and down operation. The louvers of these shutters can rotate, and the entire shutter can swing open if desired. There is even a bifold sunburst pattern option for round windows that makes your shutters functional and beautiful.
