Corner Windows, Continuous Light

The brief

Two adjacent windows meet at an inside corner, with a third opening along the same wall. The room faces strong afternoon sun and sits close to a neighbouring property. The owners wanted daylight without glare, and privacy without closing the room in.

Our solution

We measured the corner and specified a continuous rod run with a return at the angle, so the drapery reads as one unbroken wall of fabric. The panels are made-to-measure pinch pleats in a loosely woven white sheer, hemmed to break just at the floor. Stack-back was planned to sit over the wall, keeping the glass clear when the panels are drawn open.

In the adjoining room we used a heavier oatmeal fabric on a matching metal rod, hung wall to wall for coverage and a calmer, darker feel at night. Hardware finish carries between the two rooms.

The result

Daylight now arrives diffused and even across the pale oak floor. The corner no longer feels like two separate windows. Pleats hold their spacing from rod to hem, and the rooms read finished even before furniture arrives.
