How To Cover Corner Windows In Bakersfield

March 28, 2022

Choosing window treatments for your Bakersfield house seems straightforward. However, a few windows can be more difficult to dress, like when you have window panes that come together in a corner. If you want to cover corner windows in Bakersfield, window shades or custom plantation shutters work better than curtains or blinds. When made to fit your windows correctly, they look beautiful and give you the coverage you need.

Elegant Louvered Shutters Totally Cover Corner Windows In Bakersfield

You can have a couple problems when you attempt to cover corner windows in Bakersfield. If one of your windows extends to both sides of the corner, blinds over each half can’t fit neatly together and will create a gap for sunlight to come in or get caught on each other. If you have individual windows that almost touch at a corner, you might lack space for drapes in the corner.

Plantation shutters address each of these problems. Thanks to their customized construction, they fit all window shapes, sizes, and configurations–even corner windows. They have a sturdy hardwood or faux-wood frame built around your window with louvered panels inside the frame. And every interior shutter is custom-built to fit your specific window dimensions. For a single corner window, the frame’s two sides will meet exactly inside the corner with no gap. The installer will hang the frame to leave plenty of room to tilt open each louver without them bumping each other at the corner. If you’re covering a window of each side of the corner, you don’t have to worry about where to hold back fabric panels with your solid shutters.

Louvered shutters give remarkable perks as window coverings too. Both hardwood shutters and faux-wood Polywood® shutters shut tightly for privacy and light control whenever you want it. Shutters keep out drafts as well–particularly Polywood shutters, which have weatherstripping for superb energy efficiency. However, their most significant benefit is their stunning beauty. Interior shutters add architectural detail to your windows that you don’t get with fabric window treatments. They look classic and sophisticated, even on awkward corner windows.

Window Shades Enhance Corner Windows With Colorful Style

The right window shades can also work as corner window treatments in Bakersfield. Fabric shades on each side of a continuous corner window will meet at the seam with only the tiniest line of light when closed. With two corner windows, inside-mounted shades will fit inside your window frames where they won’t touch each other.

For the neatest look, use slim roller shades. But Roman and cellular shades will do the job too. Just be sure to purchase custom window shades. Off-the-shelf window treatments won’t match the exact dimensions of your corner window and will likely leave spaces that you don’t want.

The biggest advantage of dressing your corner window with a roller or Roman shade is all the variety out there. Window shades come in lots of varying styles, and each style comes in different materials, patterns, and colors. A custom window shade is a fabulous choice if your corner window could use a bit of color to dress it up.
