Arch Window Treatments and Designs
Arch window treatments are one of the more popular drapery designs of late with more and more newer homes demanding big window space.
These windows are more common in family rooms than other rooms in the house but can be found in master bedrooms and dining rooms as well.
Treatments for this style of window are either mounted inside the curve of the window frame or outside.
Outside mountings usually involve drapery medallions
on which the treatment is hung around.
Drapery panels or other treatments can be mounted inside the arch and will require precise measuring as well as specialty hardware.
Since the idea of an arch or eyebrow window is to highlight the geometry of the glass and trim, complete blocking of the view and/or light is not easily accomplished.
If the view out your window is less than stellar, consider making the window treatment capture the eye rather than that parking lot across the way.
You will be hard pressed to find arched window coverings ready made. Since the radius and size of arch windows vary greatly, a custom design is almost always required.
Many excellent workrooms created the designs you see on this page using exact techniques to ensure each treatment fit the window it was made for perfectly.
A beautiful window deserves a beautiful, professionally made window treatment.
