There’s no doubt that triangular or oddly-shaped windows make for an eye-catching, contemporary statement – but having said that, they may prove to be a headache when it comes time to buy blinds or shutters that fit. In 2023, there are more blind and shutter choices than ever, making your decision even more interesting!

Luckily, there are beautiful blind options available for anyone who is fortunate enough to have a window shape that is more out of the ordinary.

What are the best blinds and shutters for unusual-shaped windows? 

You perhaps think that having an intriguing window shape will make it more challenging to find appropriate window dressings, but, in fact, it’s actually very easy. This is good news for your home and means you can still benefit from control of light, glare, heat and privacy that any other window can enjoy.

Our recommendations include: 

Made-to-measure: Simply put, made-to-measure blinds are the perfect way to enjoy a product that is custom-created for the dimensions of your windows – whatever the shapes or angles may be. This is a godsend when it comes to awkwardly-shaped windows or locations, as the professional blinds fitter will accurately measure your window and create a bespoke product to suit. They also encompass a range of different opening styles, colours, materials and patterns to suit your preferences.

Perfect fit: If you’re looking for a flawless finish, then perfect fit blinds should be your first choice. Tailor-made to your window shape, no matter how unusual, the beauty of perfect fit blinds is their seamless simplicity – they require no brackets or drilling and will clip directly into the window frame itself. The benefits of this include no gapping, a hassle-free installation and a truly tailored fit.

Conservatory blinds: If any space in the home is most likely to boast triangular or angular windows, it’s the conservatory. As such, conservatory blinds can easily be custom-made to the exact dimensions of your conservatory, so you can enjoy this space without the annoyance of excess glare or heat. Here at Fraser James Blinds, we design and install conservatory blinds that have synergy across the room, and that create a comfortable, stylish interior. 

Roller blinds: This traditional style can be cut to suit triangular windows, along with other geometric shapes, allowing you to enjoy the easy opening mechanism which they are famed for. 

Roller blinds are available in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures. 

Shutters: For a more luxurious option, why not opt for made-to-measure shutters? With an elegant and charming appearance, coupled with excellent insulative properties, there’s a reason why shutters have a timeless appeal. If you have unusually-shaped windows, that doesn’t mean you need to miss out on this choice either, as shutters can be expertly crafted to suit any dimension or angle of the window. Often thicker than blinds, shutters offer an extra degree of thermal insulation, privacy and noise reduction.

In summary, unique-shaped windows are a blessing and a talking point – so make sure you choose blinds and shutters that complement their beauty.
