Today I measured an arch window for a shade. Not everyone knows that we have arch shades that are stationary and arch shades that are moveable. The most energy efficient arch shades are cellular shades. If the arch is very high and you don’t need to ever open the shade, then the stationary shade is the least expensive option. It looks like an opened fan and can be a decorative element in the room with the shade being an accent color, or it can blend away with a neutral color that matches the frame or the wall.  Often the arch window is a bonus with a beautiful view and covering it with a permanent arch shade is not desirable. But you are in luck because we have moveable arch shades. They have the same orientation as the cellular shade, meaning the cells run across the window and not in a fan style, lowering down from the top to the bottom of the arch. This gives you the best of both worlds. The shade can be up when the sun is hot and bright in the summer or the shade can be down when you want the view and warmth from the winter sun.
