Your arched windows are a design feature that stands out, so why not give them the attention they deserve! We’re already discussed how drapes are a great choice if you’re looking to outfit windows with arches, semi-circles, or half-moon shapes. Today, our design team at Pacific Shutters & Shades is here to discuss interior design styles that work well with arched window shapes and share various window treatments that complement arched windows.

Traditional interiors involve a timeless approach to design that mixes textures, materials, and furnishings to bring a sense of history to the space. Many design styles can fall under this category—hallmarks of traditional design include elements like rich colors, patterned wallpaper accents, layered fabrics, and styling with a mix of vintage and modern furnishings.

Modern interiors boast a more minimal aesthetic and feature clean lines, a streamlined look, and open spaces with functional use of furnishings and decor. While modern interiors can include traditional elements, they tend to include neutral tones with pops of color and texture, efficient finishes, and a sleek, spa-like comfort.

Arched windows can complement a variety of interior design styles. Whether your interior design is more traditional or modern, you can find a window covering that will work great for your arched windows. Let’s explore some window treatment ideas that will complete each look.

Window shades are an excellent fit for arched windows in both traditional and modern homes. Since they are made from fabric, you can select the materials that work the best for your space.

• Roman shades feature luxurious folds of fabric for a dramatic look. They automatically complement the softness and formal feel of many traditional interiors.
• Sheer shades are customizable for arched window designs, sliding doors, Frech doors, and more. These shades tend to look a bit more modern due to their innovative design. Made by layering sheer fabric panels with opaque vanes that close up for privacy, these shades are excellent in rooms where you’d like to enjoy the views out and light control or better privacy.

One of our favorite shades for arched windows is cellular shades, one of the most energy-efficient window treatments on the market. These insulating shades offer the benefits of a controlled climate with an uncluttered style that works well across a variety of interiors.

Many arched window treatments are stationary, but not cellular shades. We offer Duette® Cellular Shades with the EasyView® Arch, which features a design that forms to the roundness of your arched window and allows for shade movement.

Blinds are a flexible window treatment option that can work well on a variety of windows in several design styles. Depending on the materials you choose, blinds can also trend a bit more modern or traditional.

For example, metal blinds are a superior choice for a modern style. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds from Hunter Douglas offer a sleek appeal to complement the streamlined, efficient look of modern design. We offer these stunning blinds in a rainbow of colors and textures, so you are certain to find one that satisfies your taste.

Wood and faux wood blinds are perfect for more traditional households. They also offer perfect light control and make privacy management a breeze. While the rich look of wood can tend more traditional, faux wood blinds come in styles that can fit into modern or transitional spaces easily as well.

Nothing completes a window treatment more than motorization. PowerView® Automation is an innovative system that allows you to control your shades and blinds with an app, remote, voice command, or smart home system. This design eliminates unsightly cords and allows for perfect, handsfree window treatment adjustment.
