Curtains/blinds for pointy windows

Looking at houses on rightmove, I've noticed a lot of new builds in my area have these pointy windows, I'm baffled at how you dress them? How do you have functional curtains or blinds in these rooms? Apparently they are bedrooms so surely there must be ways to cover windows?

Oh my that looks like a lovely window but no idea how you dress them.

Our last house was a new build but for some insane reason every window was a nonstandard size. Made dressing windows really expensive. Not sure developers think through actually living in the house.

My friend has a symmetrical triangle window and it has curtains similar to this.

It might look a bit strange on asymmetrical ones though.

I can understand the need for curtains, but I actually think those curtains spoil the window.

You can get glass that turns opaque with a switch, so I would hope they have installed that!

My friend has these, they have blinds made to measure that fit exactly

I usually dislike curtains but in that instance I think they frame it lovely

I just find it an odd design choice by the architect, like they've not given thought to the practicality of living in the houses. There are about 5 similar houses I've seen pop up within the local area, I'm thinking maybe they are all by the same developer. I don't think it's a shock that in an area that houses sell well these have been on the market for knocking on a year!

I doubt it’s due to folks being confused about how to dress them. Apex blinds and curtains are commonly available
