Odd shaped window grouping drapery ideas & trillion shaped cornice boxes
What are trillion shaped cornice boxes anyway? They are three dimensional window treatments made out of a wood base with a covering of padding and fabric. The shape can vary from triangle, square, octagonal or some variation of these shapes.
Sometimes your windows aren't easy
to work with, such as this grouping shown below in the picture.
Things that can pose challenges when
trying to design window treatments:1) Very limited space between windows or adjacent walls
2) Differing heights of windows
3) Arched top window
4) Vaulted ceiling
5) Windows located near or at corners
Technical notes:
-Notice the arched shape at the top of the center window
-The height of center 3 window grouping is about 9 ft.
-The height of the side window is less than 9 ft.
-The vaulted/slanted ceiling coming down into the corner of the window group
"After" picture of the design we came up with for this group of windows.
Items to note:
-There are three different maximum heights for the trillion boxes
-Panels do not open/close which leaves the views unobstructed as the client wanted
-The arched shape repeated in the tops of each window cornice box brings an element of interest and accents the architecture
I had so much fun creating this window grouping design. In the 8 years I've worked in this industry, this by far is one of my favorite designs.
