Unique Window Designs for Horizontal Windows
Unique horizontal windows in newer and older homes can be stunning architectural features and treasured focal points. However, you might be curious about the various window treatments that pair well with these types of windows to help with light and privacy control.
The Custom Wood Shutters & Blinds design team is familiar with every horizontal window style imaginable, and we can help you find the right window coverings for your space.
Benefits of Custom Window Treatments for Horizontal Windows
Designers exclusively make custom window treatments for your home and will fit the window’s style and dimensions exactly. It’s worth the investment since you can choose the materials and fabrics and upgrade further with options like motorization.
The motorized systems, like PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas, benefit windows that are too high for you to reach easily. With these automation systems, you can control your window shades, blinds, and shutters with a remote, app, or voice commands.
Types of Window Designs in Homes
Here are a few types of common horizontal window designs in homes:
Ribbon Window Designs
Ribbon windows are a group of horizontal windows stretching across walls. These modern windows have a minimalist aesthetic that lets in ample light. If they’re narrow, it’s harder to see through them when looking into one from the outside.
Some window treatments for ribbon windows include:
- Designer Roller Shades : Streamlined and contemporary, these minimalist roller shades can follow the clean lines of ribbon windows.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades : These sheer shades feature adjustable S-shaped vanes sandwiched between sheer fabrics.
- Duette® Cellular Shades : Sold in a vast range of horizontal widths, these honeycomb cellular shades can accommodate large, long ribbon windows.
Eyebrow Window Designs
Eyebrow windows are fabulous horizontal windows with gently arched tops above horizontal bases. They’re found above doors or other windows, adding a clever personality.
A couple of window coverings that go well with eyebrow windows are:
- Pirouette® Sheer Shades : These Hunter Douglas horizontal shadings pair sheer panels with soft fabric vanes.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters : Our team can tailor these genuine hardwood interior shutters from Hunter Douglas to fit eyebrow windows, enhancing the curves with a more traditional look.
Transom Window Designs
Transom windows can be semi-circular or rectangular and sit high on the beam separating a window or door top from the above wall. Some have one pane, while others have several.
Here are some Hunter Douglas window treatments for transom windows:
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up Duette® Cellular Shades : These shades, with the added Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature, let in light from the top without fully exposing the space below.
- Palm Beach
PolysatinShutters
: Designed to resist moisture and UV rays, these vinyl shutters
work beautifully transoms in bathrooms, foyers, or kitchens.
