Are Drapes a Good Choice for Arched Windows?
Arched windows are a unique architectural feature that add dimension to any room. However, their unique shape may make them difficult to cover with a standard window treatment.

At Pacific Shutters & Shades, we work closely with our clients to create window treatments that fit perfectly to their windows and enhance the overall design of their home.
When you choose us for your custom drapery, you get to work one-on-one with custom drapery designer Jayne Wollaston who understands that every home has its own story. Read on to learn more about how we can fit custom drapes to applications for arched windows.
