Arch Window Blinds (Arch window blinds, specifically fabricated to be used in arch windows, provides the decorator or homeowner with a variety of choices.....)
Arched windows and windows topped by arches are distinctive and elegant. Architecturally. they can be used to recreate a period look or be incorporated into a modern design. Arches are usually half circles, but can be “half arches” (half circle arch divided into halves) or an eyebrow arch. An eyebrow arch is basically a half circle, but the the top of the arch is lower than that of a half arch.
These windows pose challenges when considering window coverings. Solutions have included hanging blinds and curtains on the outside of the frame, covering the window entirely, or simply leaving the arch alone. The use of arch window blinds, specifically fabricated to be used in these types of windows, provides the decorator or homeowner with a variety of choices, depending upon the desired results.

Many homeowners want to control the amount of light coming into a room and create a consistent look on the outside of the house when looking at the windows. These arch blinds also maintain privacy for the homeowner. There are two basic types of blinds, fixed and moveable. Fixed blinds are installed and never opened. Moveable blinds can be adjusted to allow a view of the sunrise or the sunset. Many decorators and homeowners prefer that the back side of the blind (facing outside) be lined in white for a consistent “look” from the curb. They also suggest that the blind for the arch be made of a fabric to complement or match the fabric on the window.
Like many other blinds, the arch blinds can be purchased ready made through a retail outlet, or they can be custom made. The blinds themselves can be made from a variety of fabrics – from a polyester sheer to faux wood.
Don’t be intimidated by arched windows. Both ready made and custom made arch window blinds provide choices that make decorating these beautiful windows easy.
