Choosing Window Treatments for Arched Windows

Arched windows are a unique architectural commodity in interior design. If you are fortunate enough to have one or several arches in your Washington home, you want to ensure that you dress them with window treatments that accentuate their beauty.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades for arched windows near Spokane, Washington (WA)

Today, our team of experts at Ida's & Norma's Draperies want to offer you some ideas on how to choose a window treatment for your arched window so that they function well and blend in with your existing interior design while at the same time featuring these unique details in your home.

Our Favorite Window Treatment Ideas for Arched Window Styles

Honeycomb Cellular Shades for Arched Headers

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are a great fit for any window, since they trap air close to the surface and create a layer of insulation that keeps inside air in and outside air out—but did you know that these functional window coverings are also a great fit for your arches and circular windows as well?

When you install a honeycomb cellular shade within the frame of an arch window, the fabric spreads out over the window's surface to create a fan-like look. The EasyView® Arch feature allows you to open and close Duette® and Duette® Architella® shades on arched headers with an innovative design with fabric panels oriented to the left or right, in contrast to most other cellular shades for arched windows, which remain stationary.

Interior Shutters for Adjustable Coverage

Depending on the style and need of your arched window, you may want to select a window treatment that is stationary or one that allows for adjustment. No matter which style you choose,  wood and faux wood shutters are available in stationary sunburst or adjustable horizontal styles, so you can enjoy the durability and style of shutters in the gorgeous look of wood while gaining advanced durability.

Sheer Shades Diffuse Natural Light

For a stationary solution that covers your arched windows and diffuses the natural light that streams into your home, consider Silhouette® Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas. Made from S-shaped vanes that float between two sheer panels, you can orient them closed to diffuse light or keep them open for more sun! When you apply Silhouette® shades for your arched window, they remain in one position, so you can decide to install them in an open or closed orientation when placing your order.

Try Layering to Add Dimension to Your Arch Window

Layering window treatments has always been a practical approach for creating luxurious interior design, especially if you are more of a maximalist or would like to combine different performance needs into your window treatment scheme. Think of combining your shutters or shades with drapery. We can assist in finding combinations that will work for your existing décor and the style of your arched window. Carole Fabric Custom Drapes can accentuate your windows with your choice of over 4000 fabrics and colors.
