Window Treatment Ideas for Different Types

Different types of windows, from bay to double-hung, have their own purpose of enhancing natural lighting, view, and privacy. Hence it's a challenge to have to choose different window treatments to go along with whatever purpose you want your windows to serve. Here are some ideas:

Bay Windows

Bay windows are made to increase the space within a house without actually tearing down an entire wall. You can opt for a valance to hang above it, so as not to disguise the space that the window offers or to obstruct view. You can also place roman shades that you can easily retract if you want a leisurely gaze or do some reading in natural lighting.

Arches

It can be tricky to decide on an efficient window treatment for your window arches. While you can easily fit horizontal blinds or valances over them, this might prove to be costly and space-consuming. Opt for a honeycomb shade instead, as it fans into a nice semicircle that can be a perfect fit for your windows.

Picture Windows


A picture window allows for maximum natural lighting and view, so it's best not to let it get obstructed by thick drapes and curtains. Instead, go for blinds that you can raise as high as possible, just like honeycomb blinds.
