Corner Windows

Designed to visually open and expand interior spaces, corner windows are usually placed strategically, taking advantage of appealing views or to allow a wealth of natural light into the room. Corner windows are an architecturally interesting addition to any home. They are most often found in modern architecture or in homes surrounded by natural beauty. Corner windows provide the interior of a home with a sense of openness and light. This effect can be enhanced and complemented by the creative use of window treatments and accessories.

Corner Window Treatments

Before choosing the style of window treatment for your corner window, it is helpful to give some thought to the function the window treatment will perform. Draperies and curtains can serve to accent the window, provide privacy, limit natural light and add additional insulation against the elements. Draperies hung at each end of the corner window can help frame the view without obstructing it in any way. Another way to highlight the view outside is by installing a valance. If privacy is needed, a drapery that can be drawn across both portions of the corner window can work well. Choosing a heavy or lined fabric will provide both light control and insulation. Your window treatment can be a beautiful and practical addition to the room.

Corner Window Curtain Rods

Depending on the style of curtain you choose for your corner window, you may need to find the right rod to hang it with. For draperies you will be opening and closing, a corner curtain rod is a good choice. This telescoping curtain rod fits almost any corner and allows the draperies to be closed or opened easily. Most newer curtain rods are also available in a variety of finishes to complement your room’s décor. For unusually or irregularly shaped windows, custom curtain rods can be ordered. Make sure you have measured carefully before ordering or purchasing your curtain rod.

Corner Window Blinds

Draperies and curtains are not the only choice of window treatment for corner windows. A versatile and convenient choice is window blinds. Modern blinds come in a variety of materials, sizes and colors. They can be pulled to the top of the window to limit obstruction of the view or lowered and closed to provide complete privacy and room darkening. Blinds are available ready-made in standard sizes and are also available via custom order for windows that do not fit into the standard categories.
