Windows Design Dilemma Remodeling

Blinds for curved windows???

last year

What kind of window treatment would you use for these two windows? We cannot use faux wood blinds because of the windows being angled.

Why would you even want wood blinds? Show the INTERIOR...... and your decorating style. You

may need a custom privacy treatment, or it's a simple as curtains on a rod above, and you pull them closed.

Nobody can tell from one exterior picture.

I agree. Drapery panels would afford privacy when closed and would be unaffected by the arch. And when open, they would frame and show off the arches.

Jan, or others, can top-down blinds be mounted below the arch? Or does that look stupid? I've never had them but wanted them a long time for my windows at the front of my house facing an ugly abandoned property.

But, Amanda, I suggest you Google "window treatments for arched windows." Because when I did, I found several ideas and entire articles. I also found wood blinds for arched windows.

I wouldn't worry about it. I would have chosen blinds to match the trim but it is what it is; it's just a blended color scheme off-whites. NBD. Once you get everything in place, it will look fine.

Thanks so much for the feedback! This is super helpful. Does anyone know if there's a place where you can buy Roman shades without going through a custom window covering company? Or do they need to be custom made because of window size?

I have inside mount for my casement windows with blinds. You can change out the handles to either one that folds or a smaller one that looks like a T. I don't know if you can use them on all brands of windows so this is probably something you would want to check out if you are interested. If you know your window brand, I'm thinking their web-site will offer several different handle options. Though more than likely you can find them elsewhere, too.

You can mount standard, slatted blinds on the wall surface above the arches. It will look fine from the inside or outside and will project less from the wall than curtains.

Depends on the interior but simply go straight across and above the window with your blinds or drapery.
