If you\u2019re lucky enough to move into a house with arched windows, be happy! Not only do you get to enjoy this beautiful architectural detail, you also get to be quite creative about covering these kinds of windows.<\/a> Or should you cover them at all? Arched windows are among the trickiest ones to deal with because they are such a lovely focal point, not just an ordinary window. Arched Windows are often large and positioned high up in your house and are tricky because of their unique shape. Often you will need to make a special template to ensure the exact measurement of the size and shape in all directions. You might need a ladder (do you have any stilts?) and some large butcher paper and some helpers to create your template. Since arched windows are often large and stretch across a large opening, you hopefully will have a crossbar along your window. If you don’t, you will need the added support of a “floating headrail” which will prevent your window treatment from drooping and sagging. Since the arch is an ancient form of classic Roman architecture, its beauty should not be shrouded in an uneven, lumpy or ill-fitting window treatment. Details are really important when working with an arched window and choosing just the right arched window treatment idea is critical when you\u2019re covering such an interesting shape.<\/a><\/p>\n

Arch-Shaped Cellular Shades<\/a><\/h4>\n

Cellular shades are one the most reliable and popular arched window treatment ideas<\/a>. Cellular shades can be custom made in a perfect arch shape, which is a true half-circle, or they can be made for any other kind of arch. When it\u2019s installed, the cellular shade\u2019s pleats form an ethereal fan-type visual effect. Cellulars come in a myriad of colors and the light filtering fabric creates a gentle glow to subtly enhance the arch. A great bonus is that you can match your adjacent windows in the same fabric for a coordinated look throughout the room. Some grand homes even have arched windows in the bedroom, and if that\u2019s the case, you can also get a custom arch-shaped cellular shade in blackout fabrics, too, so you can get some sleep. Most cellular shades for arches will be fixed and non-operational so you can go wild and make a design statement with a spectacular fabric or color to complement this impressive architectural form.<\/p>\n
