Custom Window Treatments for Unique Windows in NE Homes
Custom Window Treatments For Architectural Windows is Where Simply Windows Shines
New England architecture is anything but ordinary—and your window treatments shouldn’t be either. From arched windows in historic homes to angled designs in modern builds, unique windows call for a custom approach. At Simply Windows, we specialize in crafting elegant, functional window treatments that highlight your home’s distinctive design.
If you're looking for custom window treatments for unique windows in New England, here’s everything you need to know.

What Makes a Window "Unique"?
Not every window is a standard rectangle. In fact, some of the most beautiful homes across Massachusetts feature architectural details that include:
- Arched and Palladian windows
- Bay and bow windows
- Cathedral or angled windows
- Oversized or floor-to-ceiling windows
- Skylights and transoms
- Dormer and gable-end windows
These design elements bring natural light and drama into a space—but they can also make finding the right window coverings a challenge. That’s where we come in.
Why Store-Bought Window Treatments Don’t Work for Architectural Windows
Mass-produced blinds, roller shades, and curtains are made to fit standard window sizes. They often fall short—literally—when it comes to fitting unconventional shapes. Here’s what you risk with store-bought solutions:
- Gaps and poor light control
- Materials that fade, warp, or wear out quickly
- Bulky or awkward fit that detracts from your home’s architecture
- No expert help with measuring, installation, or fabric coordination
When you try to force a generic blind or shade solution onto a specialty window, you lose the beauty of what makes that window special.

We’ve designed and installed window treatments for every shape and size of window imaginable—across coastal homes, historic brownstones, modern lofts, and countryside estates in Massachusetts.
