Do I Need Arched Window Shades for My Windows?

We love arched windows. They are an elegant focal point that can soften spaces with harsh lines and angles. So, do you need shades for your arched windows? In a word, yes. Windows of all shapes and sizes are better with coverings, and Creative Window Fashions has exciting options for arched windows from timeless to contemporary.

Reasons to Invest in Arch Window Shades

Do you want your neighbors to have a front-row seat to see into your home? We didn’t think so. Privacy is one of the most important reasons for having arched window treatments. To ensure privacy, you can cover the entire window or only the portion below the arch.

Light control is another reason to invest in arched window shades. Arched windows are often oversized, which provides abundant natural light when you want it, but sometimes you don’t. Having custom-fitted arched window shades allows for ideal light management during all times of the day.

Covering arch windows also protects from damaging UV rays and conceals the items in your home, making it more secure. By opening or closing your shades at midday, you can maintain a comfortable temperature in your home without increasing energy usage.

Consider These Arched Window Treatments

Duette® Cellular Shades top our list of favorite shades for arched windows. They diffuse sunlight and are an energy-efficient choice for expansive windows. We suggest the larger 1 ¼” cells because the smaller sizes will cause visual clutter at the window. Cellular shades are excellent for room darkening and absorb sound to make your home more peaceful.

Sheer shades are delicate and elegant but offer exceptional functionality. Silhouette® Sheer Shades provide maximum privacy with adjustable vanes between two sheer panels. The translucent fabric allows natural light to enter a space while providing UV protection. You can also consider Pirouette® Sheer Shades with fabric vanes attached to a sheer panel for a more streamlined, minimalist aesthetic.

Vignette® Roman Shades are ideal for rooms where you want an elegant appearance without having to dress drapery every time you open or close it. These shades combine a contemporary appearance with a lack of exposed rear cords to give them a clean look. Choose from full or flat folds to enjoy a classic or modern aesthetic.
