Clever Ways to Cover Corner Windows
There are so many reasons to appreciate corner windows. To start, they bring in more light and add drama to interior and exterior decor.
But if you’re fortunate enough to have one or more, you likely know that they’re tricky to dress.
The angles make it hard to find treatments that fit without gaps or bunching. You're also dealing with two windows that need to work together visually, plus cords or controls that might clash.
Thankfully, you don’t need to put off this project any longer: Our Cindy's Window Fashions team offers custom solutions from Hunter Douglas that address these specific needs.
Sheer Window Treatments for Corner Windows
Sheer shades are an elegant solution for corner windows, with soft fabric vanes that appear to float alongside sheer panels. Tilt the vanes open to allow filtered light to enter while protecting your privacy; close them completely for room darkening. The lightweight design suits corner windows where bulky treatments might be too heavy.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades feature soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes integrated between two sheer fabrics. They have a horizontal orientation and filter up to 88% of the sun’s harmful rays.
Cellular Window Treatments for Corner Windows
When insulation and sound absorption are priorities, we recommend cellular shades. The cellular construction traps air and forms an insulating barrier, saving home and business owners money on energy costs. And don’t worry about sacrificing aesthetics for practicality; Hunter Douglas offers this style in countless fabrics, textures, and opacities.
- Duette® Cellular Shades are available in horizontal or vertical orientations, with various pleat sizes and high-performing, luxury fabrics. This is one of the most flexible window treatment options for corner windows, with an impressive range of specialty sizes.
Roman Shade Window Treatments for Corner Windows
Roman shades are a sophisticated, tailored alternative for corner windows, and we suggest using matching ones on each window to create visual continuity. The fabric folds neatly at the top when raised, and you can select casual or more formal materials to suit different rooms.
- Vignette® Roman Shades come in a 4” full fold Stacking Style that stacks under a low-profile headrail; the other option is a 4” full fold or 6” flat fold Rolling Style. Room-darkening liners are available.
Horizontal Blind Window Treatments for Corner Windows
Horizontal blinds bring a streamlined, traditional look to corner windows. The slats tilt to direct light where you want it, and stack compactly when raised to maximize views. For corner windows, we mount the blinds inside each window frame rather than outside; that keeps the slats from bumping into each other.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds are classic horizontal blinds made from 100% hardwood basswood, finished in an exceptional variety of stain and paint choices. If your corner windows get a lot of direct sunlight and/or moisture, Hunter Douglas also manufactures composite wood blinds.
