The Best Windowscapes For Your Oddly-Shaped Windows
If you’re struggling with finding the best window treatment — or windowscape, as we like to say here at Seaglass Windowscapes — then you’re not alone, especially if you’re trying to find a windowscape for your oddly-shaped windows or doors! If you have unique windows, you need unique window coverings to match. We’re here to help you find solutions for your oddly-shaped windows using our custom windowscape ideas!
1. What works best for French doors?
Luckily, almost any windowscape can work on French doors! A few things to consider when you add a windowscape to your French doors are:
– Door knobs or lever-handles! Make sure your windowscape won’t get in the way, like a smaller-slat traditional blind or single-cell shades.
– Making sure your windowscape doesn’t bump into your French doors every time you open or close them! Consider installing custom brackets to protect your windowscape and doors.
– Cords, if applicable to your chosen windowscape! A continuous loop upgrade would be best on French doors, as a loose cord could become a tripping hazard, and might get caught inside hinges or in your door.
2. What works best for bay windows?
Bay windows can work with most window treatments, so long as you take extra care to measure every window carefully so that your chosen windowscape can be built-in to fit snugly within the window panes. We personally love a bright wooden blind on bay windows!
3. What works best for hard-to-reach windows?
When you can’t reach your windows but you still want to control the amount of light coming through them, you might want to consider motorized shades! You’ll never have to break out a ladder to adjust your windowscape if you choose motorized shades. This easy-to-use, super safe alternative is a great modern innovation that best fits those customers that have hard-to-reach windows in their home!
4. What works best for sliding doors?
We love recommending vertical blinds or fabric panels for sliding doors because they control light and are able to be moved completely out of the way of the window, allowing you to open up your space to outside views or close your space off for privacy. Vertical blinds and fabric panels are also super customizable, with a large variety of color, material, and pattern options for your sliding door windowscape!
5. What works best for arches?
Arched windows are unique and transformative to your space all on their own — Adding a window treatment isn’t as difficult as you might think! You can custom-fit fabric shades, cellular shades, or wooden blinds to fit this oddly-shaped window. With the right company at your disposal, the possibilities are endless!
