– Drapery Solutions for Unusual Windows – 

Draperies are making a comeback in a big way in Malibu homes! As the Malibu areas premier provider of window blinds, shades and drapery we have outfitted some of the most beautiful homes in Malibu with the latest styles and innovations in draperies.

Today’s draperies are definitely not your grandmother’s heavy, tasseled brocades and fragile silks! New fabrics and exciting technologies such as motorization have brought draperies back to the forefront of window treatment popularity.

In this article we discuss some drapery solutions for unusually shaped and hard-to-cover windows.

Picture Window Draperies

Walls of windows – or “picture windows” – are popular in Malibu because they offer expansive views of the ocean. But covering a window wall can be tricky – balancing light filtering needs, without detracting from the view?

The solution is a barely perceptible ceiling track, coupled with a motorized system!  This modern take on drapery complements a streamlined aesthetic, while allowing you to either block sunlight or expose the view with the simple touch of a button.

Bay Window Draperies

Bay windows are popular in Malibu for creating breakfast nooks or conversation areas with spectacular 180 degree views. But with three sides bay windows can be hard to cover with draperies without looking haphazard.

The perfect solution is dressing your bay window with a curved or angled curtain rod – rather than three separate rods. Angled rods are merely regular linear rods joined together at the corners with inexpensive hinges. We offer custom-cut, made to order hardware that can be mounted on the wall above the window, or on the ceiling, to seamlessly encompass a bay or bow window.

Tall Windows Draperies

With custom made draperies, no window is too tall when it comes to the perfect window treatments.

If you have tall windows with a bulkhead that separates the upper bank of windows from the lower, mounting drapes on the bulkhead scales the windows proportions down, and offers privacy at eye-level, while allowing natural light to filter in from above. Slanted Windows

The challenge: How do you mount a window treatment on an angle?

Draperies for Shuttered Windows

Shutters are functional, durable and classic.  But sometimes they can be too stark or “masculine” on their own. Draperies can add design style to the room and soften the look of the shutters window treatment – but shutters often don’t leave much room for mounting a drapery rod. And when shutters open out, they can wrinkle or damage decorative drapery panels.

In these situations we employ custom measured and manufactured swing-arm rods that enable layering of draperies over shutters. When you swing the drapes out there is still plenty of space to operate the shutters.
