Arch windows are a stunning architectural feature, but their unique shape often presents challenges when it comes to sun control. Whether you’re looking to manage light, enhance privacy, or add a decorative touch, there are several options tailored for arch windows. At Bay View Shade & Blind, we specialize in custom solutions that blend beauty and practicality. Let’s explore some fantastic options to control sunlight on your arch windows.
1. Cellular Shades: Versatile and Energy-Efficient
Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are a popular choice for arch windows. With a variety of fabric colors, available in both light filtering and room darkening, you can easily color-match other window treatments or colors in the room. The EasyView® Arch from Hunter Douglas (pictured above) is a fully operational treatment, allowing you to easily open or close the shade depending on your need.
2. Shutters: Timeless Elegance
Interior shutters, often referred to as plantation shutters, offer a classic look and excellent functionality. With a variety of operation styles, you have full control over your light. Shutters also have the option of closely matching existing woodwork – giving the appearance that they were installed when the window was put in.
3. Blinds: Clean and Simple
Custom blinds designed for arches provide a sleek solution with precise fit and adjustability. Similar to shutters, you can find a close match to existing woodwork, giving a professional and custom look. Just like a normal blind, arch blinds give you the ability to adjust the slats for the perfect angle and amount of light.
4. Drapery: Soft and Customizable
Instead of placing a treatment inside of the arch, some prefer the softer look of covering all the windows on the wall with functional drapery. With a wide selection of colors, patterns, and textures, custom drapery can make a noticeable difference in any room. You can also pair your drapery with a sheer layer for ultimate light and privacy control throughout the day.
