Specialty Window Shapes and How to Treat Them

We may love the curving lines of arched windows, the expansive panes of bay windows, the light-loving nature of skylights, or the elevated style of sidelights, but these specialty windows in the home can present challenges when dressing precisely because of their uniqueness.

This is why Don’s Drapery Service asked our team of experts for their advice when it comes to Hunter Douglas specialty shapes in window treatments. Our team can give you their recommendations for bay window treatments, sidelights, skylights, and arched window treatments near Anaheim, California.

Popular Arched Window Treatments for Your Windows

For the curves of arched windows, we love the hard aesthetic of plantation shutters. While it might not seem intuitive to pair the window’s curving lines with the straight, horizontal vanes of interior shutters, in truth, the two are perfectly suited. That’s because you can shape the hard vanes of shutters to fit perfectly within the contours of arched windows. From the collection of Hunter Douglas plantation shutters, we like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters for arched window treatments for their UV resistance and compatibility with PowerView® Automation.

Selecting Bay Window Treatments

The two features that bay windows add to the home of most value to homeowners are the additional light they bring in and the additional space they create. When dressing bay windows, we like to look for light-loving shades that respect the dimension of the space, like Designer Banded Shades. These bay window treatments use alternating bands of translucent and opaque textiles to provide light control that operates seamlessly in the bay window space using a streamlined roller shade design.

How to Choose Skylight Shades

The inaccessibility of skylights and the unique angles at which they sit can make dressing this specialty window difficult. So, when shopping for skylight shades, we’re looking for treatments that provide a method of easy control for homeowners that still provide the features of light control, insulation, and privacy. Duette® Cellular Shades with the exclusive SkyLift™ Skylight System from Hunter Douglas give homeowners everything they need in a skylight shade, including user-friendly control options, excellent insulation, manageable privacy, and light control.

Picking the Right Hunter Douglas Skylight Shades

The entryway is the welcoming point of your home, and dressing windows in it like sidelights is part of creating the first impression of your home for when guests visit. Luminette® Sheer Panels are great at opening up this space to make it feel more welcoming with their use of sheer materials that let in natural light. This helps to create a more spacious ambiance in the entryway while also blocking UV and obscuring the view for privacy and protection.
