If you’re struggling to find window treatments for large or oddly shaped windows, you’re not alone. Arches, wide windows, tall panes, even triangles or circles—they all add charm to a home, but they can feel nearly impossible to cover. Whether it’s your living room, entryway, or a hard-to-reach window, we get it: you want style, light control, and functionality, all without sacrificing your space’s personality.
Let’s break down what window coverings work best and how Strickland’s Home can help you find the perfect solution.
Why Large and Unusual Windows Are So Tricky
Oversized or uniquely shaped windows present a few common challenges:
- Too much natural light creates glare or heat
- Lack of privacy
- Limited off-the-shelf options
- Difficulty maintaining clean lines and balance in your interior style
And let’s face it—standard curtains just won’t cut it.
The Best Window Treatments for Big and Odd-Shaped Windows
We specialize in custom shades and blinds designed to fit your window’s size, shape, and purpose. Here are our top solutions:
1. Custom Cellular Shades (Honeycomb Shades)
Cellular shades are ideal for energy efficiency, light control, and versatility. They are our top choice for a wide range of window shapes, including challenging or unconventional designs. Their unique honeycomb structure not only helps regulate indoor temperatures by providing insulation but also adds a sleek, contemporary look to any space.
The cordless design ensures safety in children’s rooms, making them a family-friendly option while maintaining a clean and modern appearance. Plus, they’re especially effective for large or expansive windows, helping to reduce energy costs and create a cozy, polished atmosphere.
2. Roller Shades and Sheer Shades
If you’re aiming for a sleek, minimalist look, roller shades are a great choice. They provide diffused light and light-filtering options, creating a soft, comfortable ambiance while still maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. For oversized windows, roller shades can be motorized, offering the ultimate convenience at the touch of a button. They can also be layered with drapes to add extra warmth, elegance, and privacy to your space.
Alternatively, sheer shades are another excellent option, as they gently filter natural light to soften the room while still allowing you to enjoy a clear view of the outdoors, striking the perfect balance between style and functionality.
3. Shutters and Vertical Blinds for Shape and Function
Arched windows? We’ve got that covered. Our custom shutters are designed to follow the frame’s unique curve, providing a seamless fit that enhances both aesthetic appeal and functionality. These shutters not only add elegance to your space but also help you control light and privacy with ease.
For tall, wide windows or doors, vertical blinds are a perfect solution. They offer precise light control while maintaining your view, making them ideal for sliding glass doors or large windows where practicality and style go hand in hand. No matter your window shape or size, we have options to suit your needs.
