    you could hang sheers on a tension rod on each window, then hem to accomodate.

    Privacy does not appear to be an issue so I would do some custom solar shades that control heta and UV and let you keep the view . Are those the only windows in the space ?The shades I use are done to be permanent with small clips to hold inplace

    These do need to be blackout as it a primary bedroom loft. I would love to see pictures of your ideas! Curtains or custom shades!

    I see a Justin boot box! :)

    Search ‘window treatments angled’ or ’angled window treatments’ and other relevant terms, lots of ideas come up. You can get custom blinds, shades (including motorized), and I even saw some Etsy sellers that do custom curtains for this style. Or you might know someone local.

    I’d have a blinds company in for a consultation.

    (I normally try to show lots of images in my posts for ideas, but my computer is acting up. Sorry about that!)

    Not a beautiful remedy, but I'd get big pieces of blackout fabric, cut them to window size, add black stick on velcro strips to the fabric and black window frames just along the top slant. I'd put them up at night and rip them down in the AM. Maybe too much work and too low-rent? Dunno.

    That’s what I was thinking… but was hoping someone has a great idea I hadn’t thought of!😊 Also need to hide that water heater in the corner…

    I would hang opaque outdoor shades and use a remote to raise and lower them.

    Or these are shades...I would want to know what they look like when raised, because the window view is so amazing that I wouldn't want the blinds to interfere.



    edited to add: this video showed up of how they operate:

    Agree!

    So this is definitely low rent … 😅 but we had a mtn house years ago with windows like this - we cut foamboard to size for each window and at night just pushed each one into the window frame with a little handle we attached (foamboard is spongey) then in the AM - we just took each one out and slid them behind our headboard - i will say it is total blackout, which is nice —

    definitely not sophisticated super low cost and low commitment (it actually was a clean look at night without a bunch of fabric)

    Thank you! That’s our thought, but they will need to be black out curtains. Unfortunately not so light and airy like these…. I wish!

    I think Hunter Douglas makes their Duette shades for odd shaped windows.

    @Karen

    You can use the fabric you want it was just for the idea of how to hang them.

    honeycomb blinds in blackout. will consider this style?

    Unfortunately what seems fun design wise on the outside is not practical in the inside. There is no way to elegantly get function from window coverings for those. The upside is it's a private space no one will see buy you.

    Some people wear sleep masks. I couldn't tolerate one but it's another way to go if you can.

    Would be a shame to block the view but if you really need to block sunlight these plantation style shutters would certainly do the trick.

    First thing I saw is not the windows. Is that a water heater? CO alarm if it's not electric...just sayin'.

  • last month

    It is electric. I know an odd spot for it, but this is a small cabin and that’s where they put it!Now need to figure out how to hide it…🤔

    Not unusual for a cabin. Use a folding screen in front of it easy peasy.

    Safety nerd here and I just wanted to be certain. Keep a fire extinguisher in the loft.

    I like your cost-effective solution and that it doesn't impede your view!

  • last month

    Great solution! :)

    Very clever!
