Every home is unique, and so are its windows. While standard rectangular windows are common, many homes feature specialty windows with odd shapes and sizes. These distinctive windows add character and charm to your home but can present challenges when it comes to finding the right window coverings. At Boyd’s Blinds, we understand the importance of addressing your unique window needs. Let’s explore how you can beautifully cover specialty windows with the perfect blinds.
1. Arched Windows
Arched windows are a classic architectural feature that adds elegance to any room. To cover arched windows effectively:
- Shutters: Custom shutters can be designed to match the shape of the arch, providing a timeless and tailored look.
- Cellular Shades: Cellular shades can be custom-made to fit the arch, offering both light control and insulation.
- Wood Blinds: Wood blinds with a curved valance can complement the arch’s shape while providing privacy and style.
2. Bay and Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows create a sense of space and openness. To cover these multi-paneled windows:
- Bay Window Blinds: Individual blinds or shades can be installed on each window panel, allowing you to control light and privacy independently.
- Roman Shades: Roman shades can be mounted above bay or bow windows, creating a clean and uncluttered look when raised.
- Plantation Shutters: Custom plantation shutters can be fitted to the unique angles and curves of bay and bow windows, offering both privacy and style.
3. Circular and Oval Windows
Circular and oval windows are eye-catching and unique. To cover these windows while preserving their beauty:
- Custom Blinds: Custom-made blinds can be designed to match the circular or oval shape, providing both functionality and aesthetics.
- Decorative Films: Consider decorative window films that provide privacy while allowing light to filter through. These films come in various patterns and designs.
- Shutters: For circular or oval windows, custom shutters can be crafted to match the shape and provide a timeless look.
4. Skylights
Skylights bring natural light into your home but can sometimes create unwanted glare and heat. To control light and temperature:
- Skylight Blinds: Special skylight blinds are designed to fit perfectly and are operated with a telescopic pole or remote control.
- Solar Shades: Solar shades can effectively filter light and reduce heat while preserving your view of the sky.
- Honeycomb Shades: Cellular or honeycomb shades can be customized to fit skylights, offering both insulation and light control.
5. French and Sliding Glass Doors
Covering French and sliding glass doors requires a balance between style and functionality:
- Vertical Blinds: Vertical blinds are a practical choice for covering large expanses of glass. They can be customized to match your decor.
- Panel Track Blinds: Panel track blinds offer a sleek and modern look for sliding glass doors and come in various fabrics and patterns.
- Sheer Curtains: Sheer curtains provide a soft and elegant covering for French doors while allowing light to filter through.
