FAQs
How do I blackout a triangle window?
Blackout curtains for triangle or gable windows often work best when hung slightly above the peak, using the surrounding wall to create full coverage. A soft-fold curtain adds shape while keeping light out. For unusual angles, we recommend sending a photo and using our bespoke service.
How to hang curtains on weird windows?
For unusual windows, whether sloped, arched or asymmetrical, you can mount your curtain pole or track above the frame to allow the curtain to fall cleanly. Our team can advise on where to fix your curtain for the best drape and blackout coverage.
What’s the best way to measure an unusual window for curtains?
You can follow our curtain measuring guide, or just send us a quick photo. Our team will help you work out the best fitting point, inside, above or around the frame, and guide you to the right size for your chosen look.
Can you put curtains on a round or porthole window?
Yes you can. While traditional curtains don’t always work with fully circular frames, we can create bespoke panels that either drape across or frame the shape. Many customers opt for a curtain above the window to soften the space without hiding the feature.
What’s the best curtain heading for an angled or sloped window?
A double or pencil pleat heading offers flexibility and soft structure, ideal for windows that aren't symmetrical. We’ll help you choose the best heading to suit your fabric choice and window angle.
Can I use curtains instead of blinds on an odd-shaped window?
Yes you can. Curtains are often the better choice for awkward windows because they’re easier to fit above or around unusual shapes, and they bring softness and thermal benefits. Our blackout lining makes them even more practical for everyday use.
