Finding Treatments for a Specialty Shape or Size
Not all windows are the same—they come in numerous shapes and sizes. And that can seem like quite a challenge when it comes to window coverings. However, at Ross Howard Designs serving the greater Dallas area, we’re here to tell you that it’s not impossible to treat a specialty size or shape. In fact, Hunter Douglas offers numerous solutions that are bound to fit your needs. Speak with one of our consultants today!
Things to Consider Before You Shop
Think about the reasons you want to treat your window and what sorts of results you’re hoping for. For example, are you looking to add privacy, block sunlight and/or UV rays, or enhance your décor? With your specialty shape, will you want to maintain the architectural look from the inside? Is it important to maintain the view through the window? Armed with the answers to those questions, you are ready to start shopping for the perfect window treatment.
About Specialty Shapes
Architecturally stunning, specialty shapes enhance a home and add to its talk value. Common shapes include the octagon, oval, trapezoid, and eyebrow. You might also have a skylight or a wall of windows. Not all window treatments can be used to cover specialty shaped windows. For example, a regular window can be open and lowered, whereas a specialty shape window can only be partially opened or not at all. Remember to go outside to get a sense of how your treatments will look from the curb. Another thing to remember when working with a specialty shaped window is that it already advances into the room because of its shape, line, and light. If you use a contrasting color, it will be magnified and become the focal point in that room.
