Window Treatments for Different Window Types

April 3, 2025

Windows open your home to the natural world and illuminate your interiors with natural light–but some windows are custom built to offer unique style to a space, like arched windows, bay windows, and skylights. Often, homeowners have issues finding window treatments for their unique windows because of their nonstandard sizes or specialty shapes.

Whatever type of windows you have, our expert team at Pacific Shutters & Shades is here to ensure that you have options to outfit your windows with luxe custom window treatments. Custom window coverings protect your furnishings, provide light and privacy control, and enhance your home with style and function.

Today, our team is delighted to share some popular window treatments for various window styles.

Window Treatments for Picture Windows

Picture windows are a dream come true for many homeowners. They open up your home like no other window style and allow for expansive views and ample light. We recommend window treatment styles that work in layers. Choose a base shade like a roller shade or blind that allows for open views and layer the look with custom drapery.

One of the best window coverings for picture windows is drapery. Custom drapery will transform your picture window into a stunning focal point. You can select from sophisticated fabrics and patterns to complete the look and offer variable coverage.

We offer custom side panels to frame picture windows, as well as several drapery styles like pinch pleats, inverted box pleats, goblet pleats, ripple folds, and tab-back drapery. Whatever style you select, custom drapes will enhance your picture window with style and substance.

Window Treatments for Bay Windows

Bay windows are a unique architectural feature that can make any room appear larger, as they protrude from the room and transform a flat wall into a beautiful three-dimensional focus point or cozy nook.

Shutters are an excellent choice to add style and function to your bay windows. We offer real wood, vinyl, and composite shutters to create a custom, built-in look. For kitchens, we recommend Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl shutters. Perfect for humid spaces that see a lot of activity, these shutters are backed by aluminum metal bracing and resin blocks for added durability.

Window Treatments for Skylights

Known for their ability to trap cold and hot air within their honeycomb pockets so your home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer, cellular shades are an excellent option for skylights as well.

Duette® Cellular Shades are available with the SkyLift™ Skyline System, a way to control hard-to-reach skylights or overhead windows with a hand crank, a telescoping pole, or Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, a motorized window treatment system that allows you to manage your windows with voice commands, a convenient remote control, or a smartphone app.

Window Treatment for Half-Moon Windows

Cellular Shades are also an excellent choice for arches, circles, and half-moon windows. Duette® Cellular Shades with EasyView® Arch boasts an innovative design that offers revolutionary light and privacy control. This user-friendly system allows for shade mobility while other arch window shades are stationary.

We offer these shades in various colors ranging from subtle whites to earth tones and soft pastels. Cellular shades are also popular for their unparalleled insulating properties—a great option for adding energy-efficiency to drafty legacy or heirloom windows.
