Specialty shape windows are a gorgeous addition to any home, and they add a touch of uniqueness as well. However, it is nearly impossible to find ready-made blinds that fit these shapes. This results in most people leaving them uncovered. These windows can let in a lot of light and you may be wondering what your options are to cover them. Luckily, Hunter Douglas has many different styles that can be custom-made to cover a wide range of specialty-shaped windows.
Duette and Applause Honeycomb shades
With their amazing insulation, Duette and Applause Honeycomb shades are a great option for specialty shape windows. The Duette honeycomb shade specifically is the most energy-efficient blind on the market. Specialty shapes are non-operable and can be ordered with either light-filtering or room-darkening fabric. Duette and Applause Honeycomb shades can be custom-made to cover arches, angles, circles, trapezoids, hexagons, and octagons.
Silhouette and Nantucket Sheer Shades
With specialty-shaped windows, both Silhouette and Nantucket shades are non-operable. However, they can be ordered with the vanes tilted open or closed depending on how much privacy and light control you need. These shades are a great choice for windows that you would like to preserve the view through and allow soft light to filter in. Silhouette shades can be custom-made to cover arches, angles, circles, trapezoids, hexagons, and octagons. Nantuckets are more limited in their available shapes, as they can only cover arches and angles.
Shutters
Shutters are the most versatile for specialty shapes as the louvres are operational. They are also highly durable and have great insulation properties. Hunter Douglas carries three different collections of shutters: Palm Beach Polysatin Shutters, New Style Hybrid Shutters, and Heritance Hardwood Shutters. All of these shutters can be custom-made to fit arches, angles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. Additionally, circle and trapezoid shutters are available with either the New Style Hybrid Shutters or Heritance Hardwood Shutters.
Pirouette Shades
For a bit of texture and volume, Pirouette shades are a beautiful choice for specialty shape windows. They are non-operable as the vanes are only available in the fully closed position. Pirouette shades can be custom-made to fit arches, angles, circles, ovals, trapezoids, hexagons, and octagons.
Vignette Modern Roman Shade
For a classic look, Vignette Modern Roman shades are the way to go. The soft folds can add a touch of softness and dimension to an otherwise plain wall. Vignette shades can be custom-made to fit arches, angles, circles, ovals, trapezoids, hexagons, and octagons.
Everwood Faux Wood and Parkland Real Wood Venetian Blinds
Another classic window covering, the Everwood and Parkland Venetian blinds are a great addition to homes with wooden accents. Specialty-shaped blinds made from these styles can be ordered with the slats facing up or down at a 45° angle. Upward-facing slats are best if you would prefer more light blockage. Both styles can be custom-made to fit arches and angles.
