Window Treatments for Architectural Windows

From circles and ovals to trapezoids and arches, architectural windows are beautiful gems in a home. And like gems, they should be properly displayed. Window treatments from big-box stores may offer traditional shapes, but rarely unique ones. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers several beautiful architectural window treatments for you to choose from.

Here’s how we would choose styles for windows with unique architectural shapes, plus a few ideas to help get you started:

How to Choose Window Treatments for Unique Shapes

Choosing window treatments for uniquely shaped windows means considering the window’s style while addressing the shape's practicality. Each window shape has specific angles, curves, depths, and lighting and privacy needs that, when addressed, can prevent issues such as glare, temperature fluctuations, operational difficulties, and privacy concerns. It’s also good to consider how the window treatment will work with the rest of the room, especially if the window is a prominent bay, arched, or angled window.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind:

• Privacy: Think about whether you need complete privacy, occasional coverage, or simply a way to obscure views. A treatment that allows you to adjust coverage can give you more flexibility throughout the day.
• Light Control: Unique windows can let in plenty of natural light, which is beautiful until glare or harsh afternoon sun becomes an issue. Look for a treatment that lets you control how much light enters the room without completely obscuring the window’s shape.
• Operation: If the window is hard to reach, opting for a convenient operating method like PowerView® Automation is going to make everyday living easier. Most of our selections include multiple operating choices. Choose the one that meets your lighting and privacy needs.
• Character: The right treatment should complement and flow alongside the window's architecture rather than compete with it or cover it entirely.

Hunter Douglas Styles for Architectural Windows

Our team understands that no two windows have the same practical and aesthetic needs. This commitment to customization shines through in how we carefully measure your windows, provide personalized recommendations, and offer support long after installation.

Here are some styles we’d recommend for the following needs:

• Privacy: Parkland® Wood Blinds provide exceptional privacy for arches, angles, circles, and more that require protection from outside viewing.
• Light Control: Silhouette® Sheer Shades transform harsh sunlight entering arches, angles, circles, and more into a soft glow.
• Energy Efficiency: Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the first energy-efficient window treatment of its kind, with a cellular structure that traps air and creates an insulating barrier at the window.
• Character: Provenance® Woven Wood Shades bring organic texture and artisanal beauty to angles, bay windows, corner windows, and more, while upholding the shape’s natural charm.
