Corner window curtain rod connector1/20/2024 These screw into rods and can be angled up to 90 degrees for cases like this. When doing off-the-shelf drapery and rods, one way to help it feel seamless is to use an elbow connector for the corner. You could do this with either a fabric Roman shade or woven shade. This will not only block out the light really well, it will also help to soften the windows, detracting from the different sizes. ![]() With this scenario, I would take advantage of the deep window recesses and add a Roman shade to each. Option #2: Two Sets of Panels with Roman Shades Hot tip: Using clip-on rings helps the drapes gather more closely so there isn’t a big bunch of fabric on each side of the window (considering how tight that corner is). This will help the room feel taller, as well. I would also raise the drapery rod so that it’s a couple of inches lower than the ceiling since there isn’t a lot of header space above the window. That will not only give good light coverage when needed but also, it will feel super cozy. In the case of Emily Reading’s question, I would add two drapery panels to each window. In this case, functionality won because of how close the doors were to the wall and it would be super annoying to have to keep going behind the drapery to open the door. I remember Emily (Henderson) and I going back and forth deciding whether to do one or two panels in her old family room and guest bedroom. That being said, there are cases where it does work better and is necessary for functional purposes. I’m personally not the biggest fan of having one drapery panel for a window, though, because (I think) drapery should frame out a window on both sides. Option #1: Frame Both Windows With Long PanelsĮmily (Reading, not Henderson) has this issue in pretty much all of the bedrooms in her house and for me, she has the right idea by adding shades and drapery. I can’t decide if we should do Roman shades, a mix of Roman shades and double panels, or a curtain rod that bends through the corners and covers all the windows, with panels for both.” Small windows next to larger windows, and they’re so close to the corners that figuring out how to dress them properly has been tough. Design Agony #1: Awkward Corner Windows image sourceįrom reader Emily Redding: “Our house is laid out so that many of the windows are bunched into the corners. For each, I’ll give you insight as to what I’d do to solve the issue and hopefully help more than just the readers that submitted the questions. ![]() I picked through the emails to pluck out problems I thought might be the most universal. Off the back of this post in March, it was evident that people really struggle with how to tackle awkward window placement within their homes, and rightly so…can we just stop building weird homes with weird window locations?!? Architects out there…do you hear me?Īnyhow, let’s dive in. We had a bunch of great Qs come in, and, not surprisingly, most of the questions revolved around window treatment challenges. ![]() In Emily’s post from February announcing the blog’s upcoming relaunch (and a handful of other great news), we made a call out for reader submissions with design problems that needed expert solutions. If you are a longtime Em Hendo reader, you might remember the Design Agony posts that we used to do a few years ago (take a walk down blog memory lane here to see what I mean). Hello friends, it’s Ginny-former EHD team member-here with the first installment of Design Agony 2.0.
