Dressing a triangular window?

You could make (or have made for you) a custom roman blind. Where normally there are two strings to pull up the material either side of the center you could have just the left hand side being gathered, if you get my meaning. (I tried to find a picture to illustrate but no luck)
Apparently a roman blind is easy for amateur sewers to make.
Personally I have a penchant for curtains that are hung ceiling to floor irrespective of the size of window, it would probably work for a shaped window too."Meow meow meow? Meow meow-meow meow!" - Minkybob0 -
Is it my eyes, or does the triangular window have a deeper window sill than the square window?
If so, floor length curtains wouldn't work - you need made-to-measure blinds.0 -
smart glass could have been an option.0

I like it too, it's unusual and that's not a bad thing!
I would probably go with a set of curtains going around the corner, positioned so that when they're open, the curtain covers very little of the standard window but covers maybe half of the triangular one so that you don't see a big chunk of wall when looking out. Or perhaps panel curtains so you can play around with layers and move bits easily.0 -
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
Hmm, thanks guys!
The square window looks directly into the house opposite, the side (triangular) window gives us a lovely mountain view.0 -
leave the view and just dress the rectangle.
you have arranged the bed to make use of the view?0 -
I'd "do an Aylesbury", as above, and use a triangular mirror. BUT I'd be putting it on the blank wall, beside the square window, possibly even inverted to dramatic effect. Maximise light, reflect part of the view, make a feature of it.If
Pythagoras rules!
Or put a round mirror in the same place, think Playschool, and you have your own.. ... playroom!
Oh, your actual question.... Curtains, set square!0
