When it comes to dressing windows, the classic rectangle is usually what comes to mind—but what about the more architectural shapes, like triangles or gables? These unique windows often add incredible character and natural light to a space, but they can leave homeowners scratching their heads when it comes to privacy and sun control.

One of the most common questions we’re asked here at South Coast Furnishings & Flooring Xtra is: How do I cover a triangular window? And the good news is—there are stylish solutions that don’t compromise the look or function of your home.

A Smart Solution: Custom Shutters

Custom shutters are one of the most versatile and visually appealing options when it comes to covering triangular or angled windows. In the example above, we installed shutters perfectly tailored to the pitch of the window, enhancing the architectural shape rather than covering it up.

Shutters are a great choice for tricky window shapes because they can be custom-built to fit almost any angle. They offer:

• Privacy without blocking light – the adjustable louvres allow you to control how much light comes in, while still keeping your space private.

• Insulation and sun protection – shutters help regulate temperature and reduce glare.

• A clean, timeless look – they work beautifully in both coastal and modern homes.

Designed to Fit Your Space

Whether you're working with angled gables, raked ceilings, or other bespoke architectural features, our team is here to help guide you through the process—from measure to install. Every shutter is made to fit, ensuring a polished, high-quality finish that suits your home’s character.
