Arched windows look so regal and elegant, but finding the right shades, shutters, or blinds for them can be challenging. But there are many solutions to explore when you work with the Interior View Design Center team. We specialize in Hunter Douglas window coverings, and this brand offers a variety of practical, gorgeous arched window shades and other arched window covers to give your window the perfect fit.
Understanding the Basics of an Arch Window Treatments
Before diving into the specifics of selecting arch window shades, it's essential to understand the basics of these unique windows. Unlike traditional, rectangular ones, arched windows have a curved shape at the top, adding character to a room.
Left uncovered, arched windows can let in too much light and offer no privacy. Some homeowners use store-bought window treatments that don’t fit properly, though. Arch window treatments are specially designed to fit the curvature of these windows and usually need to be custom-ordered.
Factors to Consider When Shopping for Arch Window Shades
- Shape and size: The first step in selecting arch window shades is accurately measuring the window's dimensions. Since arches come in different shapes and sizes and have curves, doing that yourself can take a lot of work. We have a Hunter Douglas certified installer on staff who will handle that for you.
- Style and design: When selecting arched window covers, look for styles that complement the overall style of your home. We can show you everything from modern and minimalist to sophisticated and traditional, with luxurious fabrics and modern operating systems that will knock your socks off.
- Light control and privacy: Think about the level of light control and privacy you want. Some arch window treatments have adjustable slats or panels to regulate the amount of sunlight coming in. Others provide complete room-darkening capabilities or block out the light completely.
- Material and durability: The material of your arch window shades plays a significant role in appearance and practicality. When choosing your materials, look for durability, ease of maintenance, and light-filtering properties. Popular choices include wood, faux wood, fabric, and vinyl.
