Not every window is created equal, and that’s a good thing. Architectural features like arched windows, angled corners, and expansive glass walls add character and beauty to your home. But when it comes to dressing them, they require more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
At Chattanooga Window Treatments, I specialize in designing custom window treatments for the most challenging windows, because those unique shapes deserve to shine without sacrificing privacy, light control, or functionality.
Why Unique Windows Deserve Custom Attention
Whether it’s a curved archway, floor-to-ceiling glass, or a tight corner with multiple angles, these types of windows are often the focal point of a room. That’s exactly why they should be treated with care.
Off-the-shelf options simply can’t match the precision, beauty, or long-term performance of a custom solution. My clients come to me because they want their homes to feel curated and tailored not just to their space, but to their lifestyle. And that includes windows that are anything but ordinary.
Common Challenges (and Beautiful Solutions)
Here are a few of the unique window scenarios I see most often in homes throughout Chattanooga’s luxury neighborhoods, and how we solve them with custom design.
Tall and Expansive Windows
These bring in stunning natural light, but also come with challenges like heat, glare, and privacy. I often use motorized or wand-operated drapery tracks like the Norman SmartDrape. This solution offers full coverage when needed, but disappears beautifully when drawn open. Soft fabrics add warmth and texture while maintaining the architectural integrity of the space.
Arched Windows
These beautiful shapes deserve more than a straight-across rod or awkward blind. Custom arched shutters provide a clean, high-end look that complements the window and fits perfectly within the trim. Another option is rounded drapery rods. I work with to-the-trade vendors who offer specialty hardware designed to fit the exact curve of your opening.
Corner or Bay Windows
These often need thoughtful treatment to maintain light flow while adding softness. A custom track system allows fabric to glide smoothly around corners without interruption, something you’ll never find in a retail solution. It’s one of my favorite ways to bring both function and elegance into complex spaces.
This Is Not the Time to DIY
You wouldn’t install your own roof or kitchen cabinetry, and custom window treatments should be no different. It takes professional expertise to design something that’s beautiful, long-lasting, and built to enhance your home. That’s exactly what I provide.
You won’t find these high-quality, custom options in big box stores or online catalogs. They’re to-the-trade only, and made to last.
Form, Function, and a Turnkey Experience
Designing for unique windows requires more than aesthetic talent. It takes experience, precision, and a deep understanding of your home’s architecture. From our first conversation to final installation, my turnkey process is detailed and completely personalized. My goal is always to make your life easier and your home more beautiful.If you have a unique window that’s left you feeling stuck, I’d love to help you find the perfect solution.
