Window Treatments for Special Shapes

Specialty windows are stationary windows that do not operate and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to help maximize your view and add light to your home. Used alone or in combination with other windows, they add curb appeal and enhance the overall character of your home.

Specialty shaped windows can add drama and elegance to any space. However, finding the perfect window treatments for these oddly shaped windows can be challenging. At Long Island Window Treatments, we offer an assortment of decorative coverings for a variety of uncommon shapes, including elegant arches, striking angles, French doors, and chic curves.

Our specialty shaped window shades and coverings offer privacy, light control, and insulation, while also adding the unique, decorative touch your home needs.

Here is a brief list of specialty shaped windows and options for specialty shaped window coverings:

Angles, arches, and circle windows can add a modern, chic element to your home. There are seemingly countless options for these shapes, including roller shades, cellular shades, and shutters.

Bay, corner, and bow windows are architectural statements and offer many benefits, such as added square footage for seating or decoration and allowing more natural light to enter the room.

French doors are elegant and can really add a lot of light and versatility to a room, not to mention they offer easy access to the outdoors. Additionally, certain french door window treatments can offer easy accessibility designed with features for handles, window cranks, levers, and cutouts.

Cellular shades, or honeycomb shades, are another excellent option for specialty shaped windows. If your windows have arched tops, you can add a fan, or sunburst, covering. You may also consider applying a moveable arch shade system. This particular type of covering creates a consistent, unified look, while also offering mobility.  

Shutters, or plantation shutters, are a quite popular option for custom window treatments. Shutters can be used for arched windows, ovals, hexagons, half-moons, rake windows, and so much more. Because shutters are so versatile and classic, they are one of the most common options for unusually shaped windows.

Solar shades are another great, energy efficient option. Solar shades are modern shades that will keep your home cool with sleek while blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays. These shades are also incredibly user friendly and won’t block your view.

Finally, roller shades offer seemingly endless customization options. Depending on the size and shape of your windows, this could give your space an undeniably classy look.
