In this blog entry, the professional Los Angeles shutters, shades, and blinds installation experts here at LA Shades and Blinds will detail the best window treatment solutions for different types of specific windows like skylights, arched windows, and bay windows.
Skylight Window Treatments
Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters are ideal for skylights due to their convenience. Skylights need special levels of light control, as lots of heat and brightness can enter through them, especially mid-day. Motorized window treatments allow you to easily control the light that can come through skylights, allowing you to adjust blinds, shades, or shutter positions specifically to achieve your desired level of privacy and light. This eliminates any need to climb ladders to manually control your skylight. Motorized window treatments can also be programed to adjust based on time of day or how intense the sunlight is, helping you regulate temperature in your space as well as energy-efficiency by preventing unwanted heat gain or loss.
Bay Window Treatments
We recommend vertical blinds, cellular shades, and Roman shades for bay windows. Vertical blinds are a great choice due to their adjustability to accommodate different angles of your window section. They have fantastic light control, insulation, and privacy, which makes them a very practical and versatile choice for bay windows. They additionally have a sleek and modern aesthetic that match the clean lines of bay windows.
Cellular shades, or honeycomb shades, are ideal for bay windows due to their range of different opacities, as well as their fantastic insulation and energy-conservation properties.
Roman shades are very popular for bay windows, as they provide a timeless and classic look that improves the aesthetic of your existing bay windows. Roman shades are available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and patterns that can be matched to your existing design palette.
Arched Window Treatments
We recommend cellular shades, curtains / drapes, Roller shades, or Roman shades for arched windows. Cellular shades, with their fantastic insulation and light control properties, can be custom-fit to your arched windows.
Curtains and/or drapes add a softer look for arched windows, with cascading fabric as an elegant framing technique, or as combined with other window treatments like blinds or shades for extra light control and privacy.
Roman shades or Roller shades additionally work great for arched windows, especially for those who want a more modern and contemporary style. Roman shades and Roller shades can be customized to fit the unique, specific shape of your arched windows.
