Help for window treatment

Hi. I have a venetian window with one side of the window butt up against a wall (previous owner stole some of this room to increase the size of another room). Does anyone have any ideas of how to style? I would obviously like to keep the shape if possible but seems impossible. I don't want blinds on this window (there are 2 other windows in the room where I'll use blinds eventually). If I went for shutters, I would want them in keeping with the house. This is a spare room but we do have frequent guests so need curtains for privacy. My only thought is a single drape held back to the left of the window. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Comments (3)Hi Sarah, I imagine these windows could be treated in the same way as conservatory roof blinds with Pleated blinds. These would be available in blackout options. Alternatively, shutters can be made to unusually shaped windows like these and I think they'd make a really stunning feature of such lovely shapes!

Comments (9)Hi, Sandra, In my opinion this would depend on how dark you need the room to be; if you need it dark for sleeping then I would suggest using a blind(roman or roller) inside the recess, and then having a more sheer curtain on a track going across the top of the entire wall -- you could use a pair of curtains for each window; if they are lightweight it wouldn't affect the radiator in the middle if you wanted to pull them back. The sheerish curtains would work with the overall feel of the room. Alternatively you could still have the blinds in the recess and the single track, with more tailored curtains -- one for each window, so when they are pulled back (with a holdback) there would be one on the left of the left hand window, and one on the right of the right hand window. Treating them as one window, in effect...See MoreHelp please - window treatments
Comments (6)I don't think you need curtains at the Patio Doors, it's down to personal preference. If I were having dinner in the winter, you could argue that it would be nicer with curtains to draw. I think you could have plain plush curtains and different co-ordinating blinds if you wanted, just for a contrast from one end to the other. I personally think that roman blinds are the nicest, you could couple something like this:- With a plush Teal Velvet at the dining room end and paint the wall to match, change the lampshades etc ( something like the cushions that you have on the sofa )....See More

9 years agoThanks mrcmcee. Yes I had thought of a panel but I think ideally I want a curtain to soften that side of the room but I just need to find a novel way of hanging it. Unless of course I try and hang curtains at the other windows and have a panel for this one. I'm never this indecisive! What do you think floor length shutters would look like? Something similarish to this. Is that just an odd idea?

9 years agoHi Minnie - completely appreciate that you want to pick a treatment that enhances rather than conceals this beautifully-shaped window. We have a number of projects where we've made shutters to fit this sort of shape - shared below. Perhaps this would be a good solution? - Shutterly
