Treatments for trapezoid windows

13 years ago

Was thinking of putting up a baton to attach the lined fabric finished fabric template design to these trapezoid windows. (Right up one side, and down length required on other slope. (I will then reverse this for other window). I would then attach eye hooks and then I will have tape on reverse of lining to attach to hooks to latch onto finished baton. Any comments to this idea?

Have you thought about leaving the top lights (windows) open to allow light in? Hang your drapes horizontally across the horizontal part of the window frame. Or custom Venetian blinds/ panels.

Don't do it. Leave top windows bare. Don't lose the great design of windows. Think of them as art. You can add panels in 2 shades darker than walls to ends of bottom window only. Beautiful view . Enjoy it.

If too much sun you can tint darker.
