The Best Window Coverings for Odd Shape Windows
Are you in search of a treatment for your specialty shape window? Windows in odd shapes add dimension and elegance to a space, but they can also seem daunting to cover—yet adding a treatment is important for privacy, light and UV ray control, and insulation. Luckily, Hunter Douglas, the leader in the window treatment industry, offers options that can cover nearly any window shape or size. At Altra Home Décor here in Phoenix, we’ll be more than happy to help you find the right treatment for your challenging window. Check out some ideas below, and be sure to contact us for advice on your particular situation.
Covering Arches, Angles, Circles, and More
As you progress in your search, you’ll probably note that Hunter Douglas products can help with privacy, light control, and energy efficiency will help to enhance the beauty of your window, no matter if you have the product open or closed. Here are a couple of our favorite products:
- Duette® Cellular Shades.Made in a wide array of beautiful fabrics (including fabrics made from 50% recycled content), Duette is the leader in energy efficiency due to its honeycomb construction. With remarkable light control and sound absorption, this shade brings a lovely, modern look to the room. You can choose the popular top-down/bottom-up enhancement, as well as Duolite® for room-darkening or ClearView® for view-through.

- Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds. For large panes of angled glass (such as in an A-frame home), Somner can truly make a statement. Available in vinyl, fabric, and aluminum, Somner offers smooth movement on its patented headrail.
- Vertical Solutions® Blinds. Without window treatments on your odd shaped windows, harsh sunlight, which brings with it heat and damaging UV rays, can flow right into your space. Available in fabric and vinyl, Vertical Solutions are excellent on expansive, sloped windows. You can choose from a number of opacity options, and they can stack on the left, on the right, in the center, or split. They have rotating vanes that let you control light and privacy while enjoying a minimalist aesthetic.
- NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters. With the look of genuine wood, NewStyle offers the benefits of composite materials, including incredible strength. Their superior craftsmanship, with Truemill® dovetail construction, makes them durable, and their low-luster Finetech® finish creates the look of finely painted wood. NewStyle can cover arches, triangles, bay windows, and more, and they’ll give you variable light control, privacy, and insulation.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. Easy to clean and great for humid spaces like bathrooms or kitchens, Palm Beach is an excellent choice for angled windows. Its Polysatin material is UV-resistant, so it won’t warp, crack, chip, or peel.
PowerView® Automation
Many specialty shaped windows are in hard-to-reach places, up high or behind furniture. The best operating system for windows like that is PowerView Automation. That said, PowerView is excellent for all windows, and we love to recommend it to our clients. It is truly the cream of the crop for operating systems, and it will offer your new window treatments a level of sophistication that no other operating system can. On top of that, you can enjoy:
- Convenience—a simple press of a button or a tap on a device can keep your window fashions positioned exactly as you like.
- Increased energy efficiency—your system can help you keep your treatments down to keep outside air out and inside air in, all through the way you schedule them.
- Better security—keep outsiders unaware of your travels by having your window treatments move as though you’re home.
- Enhanced child and pet safety—with their completely cordless functioning, treatments operated by PowerView Automation don’t pose strangulation hazards for children and pets.
- Whole-home automation—PowerView can link up with smart systems like Alexa or Google Home, so now you can control your window treatments’ movement with just your voice.
