While unique window shapes like this are not as common as other shapes, Hunter Douglas offers multiple products to cover these unique shapes. You could use a different bathrobe for each panel of the octagon.It might seem obvious, but hexagonal windows have six sides while octagonal windows have eight. You can also use bathrobes, simply hang the rod through the sleeves, and pull. This can be drawn or left closed, as you wish. Use tulle, and make a curtain rod pocket at the top. Rather than use felt or lace, you could use other materials, although they may start to resemble poorly made curtains if you are not careful. You can also use ribbons on the bottom of the felt, so that the curtain pleats can be opened and closed as you wish. Cut small holes in the top of the felt, and thread it into the curtain rail. Cut several pieces of felt, and using a needle and thread, sew into pleats. You may need to cut these to size, depending upon how wide the windows are. Choose several pieces of curtain rail, and install them above your octagon windows. Step 3- Make Felt CurtainsĪnother option is to make felt covers for your windows. The ribbon can be lowered at night to keep strangers from seeing into the room. You should be able to lift the cardboard away and back, so that it parts like raised curtains during the day. Use glue to keep the lace on the bottom of the cardboard. Simply remove the tacks from the cardboard along facing sides, and tie a ribbon to the bottom of the lace. This can also be a good way to allow light to enter your room from time to time. In order to prevent this, you should use some lace to add to the bottom of the cardboard. Having a cardboard shutter with nothing else can seem a bit boring and tacky, you don't want the neighbors to think that you've moved out and the house is deserted, after all. For a larger octagonal window you may need to install several pieces of board. Push the tacks into the inch fold you made, and then repeat.
Imagine you were installing a shutter, and push the cardboard against the window, following the shape of the frame. Cut off the largest sides, and then fold around an inch of board along each side. The sort which are used by removal men would be ideal. Prepare the covers by cutting down a large cardboard box.
