Arched Window Treatments

With their defining overhead curves, Palladian and arched windows are beautiful additions to any room. Sometimes, though, one may want to play down the curves. One alternative is to subtly define the arch with drapery panels hung from a rod installed straight across the top of the window and pulled up and back with tasseled tiebacks, strategically placed at the bottom line of the arch. If privacy is not an issue for one's arched window, the treatment should be simply started below the arch leaving it unencumbered by fabric. In order to dress the entire window and flatter its natural shape, try using a swag and jabot treatment hung from an arched drapery rod installed just outside the upper trim. For privacy, you may outfit the lower glass with sheer cafe curtains or shutters. A great way to treat eyebrow windows is to follow the form of the arch with a bendable rod and a span of fabric. Hang handkerchief like pieces from decorative drapery pins or holdbacks that are installed in the window trim.
