Best Window Treatments for Small and Narrow Windows
Small and narrow windows, bathroom transoms, kitchen half-windows, tall skinny sidelights, and odd little openings, are easy to overlook and hard to cover well with off-the-shelf products. But they matter for privacy and finish. Here is how to dress small windows cleanly at any size.
Why small windows need custom
Store-bought blinds come in fixed sizes and rarely fit a small or narrow window properly, you end up with gaps, an oversized stack, or a covering that looks clumsy on a delicate window. Custom coverings are built to the exact opening, so even a tiny transom or a skinny sidelight gets a clean, proportional fit that looks intentional.
Best styles for small windows
Cellular and roller shades work beautifully on small windows, they mount cleanly, stack compactly, and keep a delicate window from looking cluttered. Faux wood blinds with narrow slats suit small kitchen and bath windows and wipe clean easily. For a built-in look on a small window, a mini shutter or cafe-style shutter can be charming.
Privacy for bathrooms and kitchens
Many small windows are in bathrooms and over kitchen sinks, exactly where privacy matters. Top-down bottom-up shades give privacy while keeping light, and waterproof polysatin shutters or faux wood handle the moisture. Even a tiny frosted-look light filtering shade can give an always-private, always-bright result.
Awkward shapes and placements
Narrow sidelights beside a door, transoms above windows, and oddly placed small openings each have a tidy solution, from slim cellular shades to custom-fit shutters. We measure to the exact opening and recommend a covering that fits the shape and the spot, so no window is left bare or awkward.
