Arched Window Ideas: Bedroom

There are many ways to treat arches.  In this master bedroom, the arch became a problem.  Even with the arched shutter and blinds, light was an issue for my client; he wanted to have the option of total room darkening.  The designer, Lynn Sharp, chose a drapery treatment with blackout lining.  The drapery rod is not only decorative, but has a hidden traversing system for easy function.

Cornice with Grommet Drapery Panels

DESIGN CHALLENGE:  My clients wanted to let in as much light as possible, not obsuring the incredible view.  We discussed the need to conceal the multiple linear lines going across the top of the window: moldings, wall, crown, even the eaves from the roof line were distracting.  Light control is not an issue for this couple, so functioning draperies or shades were not desired.

STYLE: Clean, updated, stationary .. not fussy.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:  Grommeted silk draperies, lined and interlined attached to 170" cornice.  Custom hand made hooks from KAL Metals in Franklin, TN.
