Coverings for Skylights, Sidelights, and Other Odd Windows
Not every window is a perfect rectangle, and that's a good thing. Architectural delights, like arched windows, angled skylights, narrow sidelights, and luxurious bay windows, add character and charm to a home. But they also create a decorating challenge. At Barrington Draperies and Shutters, in Barrington, IL, we help local homeowners find stylish, functional solutions with Hunter Douglas window treatments for even the most unusual windows. Learn how to tackle these tricky window types.
Sidelight Window Treatments: Privacy Without the Bulk
Sidelights, the slender rectangular windows that flank your front door, allow light in and allow you to see visitors. Without coverage, they compromise your privacy, allowing anyone to see into your home. We can help you find a solution that provides privacy, lets in light, and complements your entryway.
Some of our top Hunter Douglas sidelight window treatments recommendations include:
- Luminette® Sheer Panels for a blend of light, privacy, and darkness.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, which provide security, light control, and can be motorized.
- Modern Precious Metal® Mini Blinds for a sleek, modern look and extra durability.
Skylight Window Treatments: Control Light From Above
Skylights invite natural light into your home, but they can also increase heat and glare. Skylight window treatments can moderate temperature, absorb sound, and reduce glare. With Duette® Cellular Shades, specifically designed for skylights, you can adjust the light by using fabrics that block solar heat and offer varying opacities. With PowerView® Automation, you can effortlessly open or shut them with your phone, voice, or a remote control. Whether your skylights are flat or angled, fixed or operable, we'll tailor a treatment that suits your needs.
Bay Window Treatments: Stylish and Seamless
Bay windows create additional space and invite in natural light, but they're difficult to dress. The right bay window treatments allow you to maximize that light and get privacy as necessary. Not all of our options are suitable as bay window treatments work, so consider:
- Silhouette® or Pirouette® Sheer Shades filter light and block UV rays, while still providing privacy.
- Cellular Shades for light control and insulation.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds to get a stunning blend of light, privacy, and elegance.
- Custom drapery panels add texture and depth.
Arched Window Treatments: Preserve the Curve
The best arched window treatments enhance the natural elegance and architectural flair while providing full coverage. With custom arched window treatments, you can adjust the shade, blind, or shutter to maximize function. Get the most out of your arched window treatments by selecting:
- Shutters with louvers in a starburst pattern for optimal function.
- Duette® Cellular Shades with EasyView® Arch adjust from side to side.
- Motorization for hard-to-reach arches.
