Stylish Solutions for Arches, Bays, Skylights & Unusual Shapes
Unusual windows add architectural character, but they often create challenges when it comes to window coverings. Arches, bay windows, gable ends and skylights rarely suit off-the-shelf blinds or curtains, leaving homeowners struggling to achieve privacy, light control and a cohesive look.
Our custom interior shutters offer one of the most effective and visually striking solutions for awkward window shapes. Made to measure, they are designed to follow the exact lines of your window, creating a tailored finish that enhances both style and functionality.
Why Shutters Are Ideal for Awkward Windows
Interior shutters are built to fit your window rather than forcing your window to fit a product. This makes them especially well suited to:
- Curved, angled or irregular frames
- Deep bays and large glazed areas
- Feature windows where appearance is as important as performance
Because shutters are solid, structured installations, they provide consistent light control, privacy and insulation, even on complex window designs.
Arched and Circular Windows
Arched and round windows are often the centrepiece of a room, but they can be difficult to dress without hiding their shape. Shaped shutters are crafted to mirror curves precisely, preserving the architectural feature while adding adjustable light control.
They can be designed with fixed or movable slats depending on the look you want, offering anything from soft daylight filtering to complete privacy.
Bay and Bow Windows
Bay windows benefit enormously from shutters. Each section can be individually fitted, allowing the angles of the bay to be followed seamlessly.
Popular configurations include:
- Tier-on-tier shutters for flexible privacy and light control
- Café-style shutters to maintain light while protecting street-level privacy
- Full-height shutters for a clean, symmetrical finish
Shutters also keep bay windows feeling open and uncluttered, unlike heavy curtains which can visually shrink the space.
Skylights and Roof Windows
Roof windows and skylights introduce wonderful natural light but often suffer from glare, overheating or lack of privacy. Custom shutters can be manufactured specifically for skylights, including tapered frames to suit Velux-style windows.
They help regulate temperature, reduce brightness, and bring a refined finish to loft rooms, extensions and upper floors.
Other Custom Shapes and Feature Windows
From triangular gable windows to trapezoid frames and long horizontal panels, bespoke shutters can be created for virtually any shape.
They are particularly effective in modern builds and period homes alike, where maintaining design consistency across different window types is essential.

Awkward windows don’t need to be compromised. With custom interior shutters, they can become one of your home’s strongest design features.
