Hanging Curtains on Slanted Windows

Slanted windows are unique in shape, usually having one or two slanted sides, and therefore attract attention with their unusual trapezoidal shape. It is not difficult to create attractive curtains for a slanted window in the shape of a trapezium or triangle, but you need to know some tricks and nuances. Our designers will be happy to share their experience with you on how to best decorate a slanted window.

Follow the Angle

Designers know this technique: the higher the cornice and curtains are located, the better the room looks as a whole. There is one more very important rule: all curtains in the room should be at the same height. As a rule, the general appearance of the room in this case becomes more neat and stylish.

But if the slanted window is located on a slanted or mansard wall, you need to create a curtain design in accordance with the line of the angle. It is important to use the same fabric for all windows in the room and to maintain symmetry and all proportions.

Think Outside the Box

Let's consider a situation where a slanted window is the entire or almost the entire height of the room. In this case, you have almost completely free hands in terms of curtain design methods and cornice mounting types. But most customers prefer a wall cornice if there is the possibility and enough space for mounting. However, a ceiling cornice is also a great solution and is often more appropriate.

Here is another situation, a window with one slanted side. An unconventional vision of space can help us diversify the design of slanted windows. Often, slanted windows are perceived as a whole. However, thinking differently and dividing such a window into two geometric figures (for example, a triangle on top and a square or rectangle below), you can curtain only the lower half of the window, that is, its rectangular part, which will greatly simplify the work. Of all the ways to decorate slanted windows, this is undoubtedly the easiest.
