Very difficult windows - I need help how do I dress them?

9 years ago

As you can see these windows open inwards and have walls blocking all angles. I would love to use shutters but can't see how I would make them work. Any ideas welcome. PLEASE HELP

A slight daring suggestion I have would be to paint on the windows themselves with a very thin layer of watered down acrylic paint or liquid chalk that will dry and begin to make a stained glass window effect as the window is rather small to work with but can become a bit of a feature. It may even add a splash of colour.

Velcro a roman blind to the window.

Hello Rosie, Okaaay..... THAT boy needs a hobby and it "ain't" you! Here's what you could do in a subtle way that doesn't necessarily say. "I know what you did this summer" How about a sudden love of a very big flower arrangement... Can be fabulous faux! That way, you can remain aloof and he can jolly well go and get a book and learn something. Better not be floristry.. :))

I really think you should consider timber. All WWA members have their windows tested against air and water leakage, so there won't be any problems there. They come factory-finished in any RAL colour and can be repainted (outside or inside) whenever you want. And the frames will last twice as long as plastic. I would replicate its original windows, which are beautiful. It's a handsome house - keep its value by keeping its authentic character.

Late to the discussion, but wanted to put some options on here. There is an option for a 5 sided bat curtain poles, they have passing rings and can be a little faffy, however they do work when fitted level and well. If the angles are short enough i would break the angle and use a 3 sided pole by bringing the pole forward away from the window. The secret with the bay poles is to make the angles as soft as possible and use as few brackets as possible for the least obstructions https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/curtain-poles/metal-curtain-poles/bay-window-curtain-poles However i agree with alot of the other points, personally i would fit a curtain track across this. It would dress the window well and would provide a good solid fixing and smooth operation. It could also be bent easily on site with our fineline option or one of our fitters could bend a silent gliss product on site https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/fineline-curtain-track-white.html https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/curtain-tracks/metal I would 100% the tracked options for simplicty of operation, but if you want to try the bay poles then top fix

Is it a beautiful bookcase? Especially on the lovely bench, that would look lovely. Some shelves on side supports would work for the other side too.
