Unusually shaped windows can add to the character of a room. This post will help to identify non-traditionally shaped windows and how to dress them in a way that will increase the aesthetics of the room.
1 – Bay window with seat
Depending on the size of your bay window and the seat that is built into it, soft furnishings like blankets and cushions that match the other decorations in the room will help to create a cohesive feel. These types of windows can be dressed with either curtains that are on curtain tracks or blinds.
2 –Bay window without seat
This type of bay window is easier to dress and decorate than bay windows with seats as there are less elements to consider. Long working curtains (those that you can close) are an option. However, dress curtains that don’t close are easier to install and still add an aesthetic feel to match the room.
3 – Full Circle
On the surface you may be surprised at the price difference between composite doors and its alternatives. It is no secret that composite doors are more expensive to buy, however, there are certain factors that make paying that little bit more worth it in the long term. We have already covered the various design and security advantages of choosing a composite door, however this stronger, more durable option will also require less maintenance and is more thermal efficient. This means it is likely to be more cost beneficial to pay more now so you can save more later.
4 – Arch Window
Arch windows combine the soft curves offered by circular windows and the sharp edges of regular rectangle windows. The unusual shape makes it difficult to dress them with curtains so if privacy from neighbours is required, frosted or warped glass is a suitable alternative.
5 – Apex Window
Apex windows which are windows that form into a peak at the top of the room and are often found in loft conversions allow for a lot of natural light to enter a room. They can be dressed with slanted curtains or made to measure curtains or blinds.
6 – Sky Light
Located in ceilings to allow more natural light into a room it is common to either leave these uncovered, as they tend not to reduce the level of privacy of a room, or have specially fitted blinds.
