window treatments for arched windows

An arched window in your home can be a beautiful focal point, but it can also pose a challenge when it comes to decorating. With this unique window shape, homeowners often struggle to find the right window treatments for arched windows. Keep reading to explore some of the best-fitting options with our design pros!

Drapes

If you want to completely cover an arched window, you can hang drapes and mount them above the top of the arch. Drapes can be an excellent choice if privacy is a top priority or if that part of your house gets a lot of sunlight. Blocking out the sun can help you maintain a moderate temperature so you won’t have to crank up the air conditioner in the warmer months and pay high utility bills.

Shades

If you would rather not cover an arched window entirely, you can install shades that are mounted below the top of the arch. That way, you’ll be able to cover most of the window while still letting some light stream in through the curved area at the top. A few options include:

• Roman shades can be raised to let in just the right amount of light and lowered when you want to block out the sun or have some privacy. Knox Blinds offers Roman shades that are batten in the front or back, ones with a smooth face, and options with folds down the center.
• Cellular, or honeycomb, shades are also popular window treatments for arched windows. They have a series of pockets that provide insulation. With cellular shades, you can keep your home’s interior at a comfortable temperature and keep your utility bills under control. At Knox Blinds, we provide cellular shades that can block out light to varying degrees, depending on the chosen opacity.
