How to Cover Odd-Shaped Windows: The Best Solutions for Arched, Angle-Top, and Circle Windows

|
Austin homes are full of architectural personality—arched windows in West Lake Hills, angle-top windows in Lakeway, dramatic circle windows in Dripping Springs. These shapes look incredible but can be tricky to cover with traditional treatments. With custom window solutions from Bumble Bee Blinds of Austin, covering unique window shapes is easier—and more beautiful—than most homeowners expect.

Custom Shutters for Perfectly Fitted Arched & Circle Windows

Plantation shutters are the most precise way to cover odd-shaped windows. They can be crafted to follow curves, angles, half-circles, full circles, and eyebrow arches. Our plantation shutters offer exacting fit and long-term durability, making them ideal for architectural windows you want to highlight rather than hide.

Specialty Shades for Angle-Top, Arched, and Oversized Shapes

Many specialty windows can be covered using fabric shades that match your home’s design. Angle-top windows pair well with cellular shades, where the fabric is shaped to follow the window frame. For arched windows, light-filtering or blackout options can follow the curve while still offering full lift and lower functionality.

For living rooms with expansive glass, consider layering with woven wood shades or sheer shades to soften light while keeping the architectural detail visible.

Motorized Options for Hard-to-Reach Architectural Windows

Odd-shaped windows are often installed high on the wall or above entryways—beautiful but impossible to reach manually. That’s where motorized window coverings come in.

Motorization allows you to lift, lower, and tilt your coverings using a remote, phone app, or voice assistant. It’s perfect for:
• Clerestory windows
• Two-story great rooms
• High arched windows
• Angle-top windows above stairs

Want UV protection without darkening the room? Motorized solar shades or cellular shades help tame heat and glare while maintaining comfort throughout the day.

Why Austin homeowners love this: In neighborhoods like 78704, 78738, and 78737, architectural windows are a defining design feature. Custom shutters and specialty shades highlight those shapes instead of hiding them, while motorized options make even the most challenging windows functional again.
