Odd shaped blinds

7 replies

WelshMoth · 08/06/2022 22:41

I have a large, triangular window that needs blinds. I want the window clear in the day (brilliant view, not overlooked) but blinds that darken the room at dusk (bedroom, doesn't need to be blackout). The window is in a roof attic gable wall so nothing 'straight' can be hung.

To add to the tricky mess, DD (who's room it's going to be) and I are very short and I'm not willing for either of us to be climbing on chairs whenever we want to close and open these blinds.

Help!

@TheBlindsLady They look the thing, yes. When you say 'not cheap', dare I ask a rough figure? There are 4 angled panels in this window.

I think for what @TheBlindsLady suggested, you can do the diy version if you buy a basic roller blind, cut it to a triangle and fix it upside down at the base of the window. Then you need a pulley at the top corner of the window to pull the corner up. And I dunno how you'd run the blind cords but I guess it could be done.

It would be a fiddly DIY job but could probably work.
