How to dress unusual shaped windows

If your window has an arch or curve, like this wonderful patio, curtains make a great choice.

Curtain poles can sit above the arch’s highest point so that your window is completely covered by the fabric. You could even choose a couple of curtains and have them sit at different heights at the window for a gorgeous and practical effect.

Your local advisor will talk you through all of the options available to you.

If your windows are unusually small or just smaller than you’d like, consider dressing them with curtains. Curtains can help create the illusion of both height and width when creatively positioned.

Try placing your curtain pole a few inches clear of the top of your window for height, then ensure your pole is long enough so the curtain fabric can gather on the wall at the side of your window (clearing the glass completely), when not in use. 

Curtains needn’t be ruled out if your window is awkwardly positioned. As all of our curtains are made-to-measure we can make them to whatever size you need, including sill-heights for windows that are located above radiators or other bulky items. Your advisor will happily talk you through all of your options so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

Then we’ll measure up and fit them too – it couldn’t be easier or more convenient when you choose Hillarys made-to-measure curtains for the unusual windows in your home.

If your property is built on a sloping site or your room is built into the eaves of your roof, your windows may be shaped to accommodate the slope.

This can be a challenge for most types of window dressings, but not for Vertical blinds. That’s because we can cut the individual louvres to different lengths so that they fit sloping windows perfectly, giving you a look that’s totally seamless.
