Dressing a triangular window?

J_B

Our development project is progressing well, but 'head of design' has a bit of an issue.
We have a triangular window and she isn't sure how to curtain/blind it ...

I would fit curtains as if it was a rectangular window.

How on earth did you end up with that in the first place?!

Roller blind fitted to the longest side, cut to fit and attached to a hook in the top corner.

Originally, the roof came down at that angle, making the room 'hardly habitable'
'We' have basically made a massive dormer window, but have retained a small piece of the roof which abuts the chimney.

Why is the rectangular window so small when you have all that wall to use?

What's that got to do with my question?

Somewhere to put a wardrobe, dressing table etc and there is also an en suite just out of the photo....

Back on topic please! :)

blinds that pull up and give a clean profile when open probably your only option, either two rectangles so looks symmetrical when closed or made to fit.

anything horizontal will look a bit daft unless it all pulls back to the side of the standard window and that will be a lot of material so need a fair bit of that wall.

have a look at conservatory roof blinds for ideas they deal with shapes.

Looks a mess to me and I certainly would not wish a window like that in my home, sorry to be so blunt.

Would not have a clue how to dress it.

Think it will spoil the whole room whatever you do.

To me that is the second best option. Best would be doing away with the triangular window altogether

I quite like it, it's quirky. It appeals to my love of mathematics. I think I'd call that room the Pythagoras Suite.

Sorry, cos I have taken the thread off on another tangent though...a bad sine.

Back on topic. With it being so unusual, I think you need to tackle it head on and make a feature of it. Could you mount a reciprocating triangular mirror below it, to complete a rectangle? Then you could simply have a regular roller blind that obscures the window and mirror when you want to do so.
