Arched windows are considered one of the most pleasing window shapes and are a very noteworthy architectural element. Often if the arch is above the window, like a fanlight, it is left uncovered while the window below has window treatments.
When the entire window is arched, like the one pictured here, a custom curtain rod is used to hang the draperies. In this instance a double rod is used, one for the geometric sheers to control sunlight and provide a sense of privacy. And the other for the stationary side panels. The drapes break at the floor for that elegant, sophisticated look.

I love this look of the arched window covering. Are the panels specially made, or hemmed?
These panels were cut on a slight angle along the top edge before they were pleated to allow them to hang properly and the hemline was straight. The panels were also puddled which can be very forgiving when installing.
I have a large window in my bed, room that need room darkening at night and leave a full view of window during the day. Thank you, Michelle
Hi Michelle, If you would like to send me a picture of your window I could better advise you on what treatment would work best.
