A Shade/Angle Question
Quote from Lighted on January 11, 2021, 1:27 amI have seen a few houses that have an attic with windows in it. The ceiling is pitched because the roof is pitched, and that makes the windows look awkward in a way.
So I was wondering, how do you think it would look if you could buy a roller shade that is angled to match the pitch of the ceiling? It would have to be made special in order for the shade to come down " straight" at an "angle" if you know what I mean, but do you think that would look less awkward than a regular window under a pitched ceiling?

Quote from EmoryB on January 20, 2021, 1:46 pmI like them; I think it gives the house character. I guess one person's "awkward" spot is another person's housing "feature". I bet your idea would work. I think pleated shades that are quite rigid might work best since you need them to lay a certain way. A roller shade could work if you attached the other end at the bottom once you'd unfurled it. If you give it a shot, I hope you'll let us know how it went.
