How to Choose the Right Arched Window Treatments

Arched window treatments are designed to complement your window’s original design while enhancing natural light. When it comes to choosing a design for your arched window treatment, the sky’s the limit. 

Whether your home’s interior is contemporary or traditional (or anything in between), there are stylish treatments to match it. 

Window Treatment Characteristics

A highly versatile design item, arched window treatments come with many characteristics. We’ve highlighted some of the most notable below. 

Enhance window design:  These treatments add visual appeal to your arched windows, amplifying their original design and unique characteristics.

Varied materials: Arched window treatments come in an array of materials and textures. Typically, you’ll find these treatments are crafted from natural woods or soft yet durable fabrics like cotton or linen. 

Increased privacy: Customized for your specific arched windows, treatments provide the perfect amount of privacy for your home. 

Controls natural light: Adding arched window treatments to your space helps to control natural light, reducing glare and potentially temperature. 

Energy efficiency: Arched window treatments can also have an eco-friendly impact on your home. For instance, cellular shades feature a unique honeycomb design formulated to trap air. This design provides reliable insulation, resulting in a lower energy bill. 

Materials Used in Arched Windows Treatments

From wood to textured fabrics to metal, you're bound to find an arched window treatment that will enhance your room. Each texture adds to a window in different ways, resulting in increased visual appeal. Below, we've broken down the three top materials used in window treatments.

Wood: Natural wood treatments provide your space with a versatile yet classic style, adding a touch of variety to any interior. Wood treatments are also quite durable and can last for years with the proper treatment.

Fabric: Commonly made from cotton or linen, fabric treatments bring a sense of comfort to your home. Fabric treatments also expertly filter light, providing your space with just the right amount of "glow." Furthermore, fabric treatments can save you money when it comes to energy costs as they retain warm/cool air throughout the seasons.

Metal: Often crafted from aluminum, metal treatments effortlessly blend chic modernism with durability. Metal treatments are also an eco-friendly option due to their recyclable material. 

Design Tip: Study Your Space

Visualize which treatment materials will work in your rooms. Take this example: aluminum blinds may work perfectly in a contemporary home, but may clash in a home with more of a rustic interior. By “studying” your interior, you’ll be able to make an informed choice. 

How to Choose the Best Arched Window Treatments

Since there are countless treatments to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all your options. A great way to narrow down these choices is by focusing on what you want your arched window treatments to achieve. 

Tips for picking the best arched window treatments:

• You may want window treatments that enhance your home’s style - or maybe you want them for increased privacy. Whatever the reason is, solidifying that will make your choice simpler.
  
  
• Taller windows may require motorized treatments for easy adjustment versus manual.
  
  
• Consider treatments that complement your home’s interior. For example, a traditional home interior  would pair well with classic drapery, while natural wood blinds would be the better option for a rustic interior. 

Matching Arched Window Treatments With Your Interior

The right window treatments will seamlessly blend in with your space while adding an extra dose of style. 

Arched window treatment pairing ideas based on your interior:  

Traditional: Emphasizing classic style, traditional homes are all about balancing elegance and functionality. For these interiors, opt for natural wood blinds or sheer shades in natural, light tones.

Contemporary: These interiors embrace clean lines, sleek surfaces, and cutting-edge style. To complement this look, incorporate sleek roller shades or aluminum blinds. For these options choose cooler-toned shades like grey or taupe. 

Rustic/Farmhouse: Focusing on natural materials and varied textures, rustic/farmhouse homes are the epitome of cozy charm. Adding in wood shutters or bamboo shades will only amplify this unique style. Choose warm, inviting colors like rich earth tones to really make these treatments stand out.
