What Window Treatments are Best for Unique Windows?

Viking Blinds • Oct 17, 2023

When you are shopping for window treatments, it is important to consider all the windows in your home. What works for a sliding glass door may not function in the arched window in your attic. Windows come in all shapes and sizes, and at Viking Blinds, we have arched window treatments and many others to fit any window shape and size. Our selection of Hunter Douglas window treatments is custom-built to fit every one of your windows, and our professional team will help you measure your windows for the perfect fit.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades covering a skylight window near St. Louis Park, MN

At Viking Blinds, we carry a wide assortment of Hunter Douglas products to satisfy every need and preference. We also have years of experience helping customers choose which interior window treatment is right for their home, so we’ll know exactly which one to pick for your living room, kitchen, or home office.

Sidelight Windows

These are the narrow windows that often frame a door. Sidelight windows are often overlooked, but they are just as important as any other window in your home. Luminette® Sheer Panels are a great option because they combine a sheer curtain and a vertical blind. You can close the vanes for privacy or open them to create a gentle, filtered glow. Duette® Cellular Shades are another great option for narrow windows, as they can be cut to any width. These shades also provide an additional layer of insulation that can be nice next to your front door.

Arches

Arch windows are a beautiful accent in your home but can be challenging regarding light control and privacy. Luckily, Viking Blinds has several arched window treatments that will work. Hardwood, faux wood, or aluminum blinds are a great option that allows for a lot of light and privacy control. Drapery is also an elegant option. It can be hung above the arch, allowing you to maximize the view. You can also combine these two window treatments for a layering effect.

Skylights

Skylights present two very different challenges. The first is that any window treatment must mount and function on the ceiling. The second challenge is operation, as often you can’t reach skylights from the ground. Duette® Cellular Shades are a fantastic option for skylights as they are secured in a channel and can be operated in several different ways. The Skylift™ Skylight system works with a hand crank or telescoping pole. You can also opt for the convenience of PowerView® Automation for the option of hands-free control.

Circles, Ovals, and Hexagons

When it comes to windows like these, your best option will be plantation shutters. They can be custom fit for any window shape, and you have the option to have moving or stationary louvers. Shutters provide a nice, clean look that works well in any home.
