The cost of curtains for non-standard sized windows is insane too. I just bought canvas and I'm hand-stitching my own. All the materials needed for a dozen windows, including the tools, comes out to less than two curtains made by somebody else. As a bonus, you get to learn a neat skill that carries over to other things.

- nonethewiser 4y agoSame for blinds. Priced something out recently for 1 square window and it was $400.
- jedberg 4y agoI don't like to shill companies here, but I've used these guys a few times: https://www.selectblinds.com/ https://www.selectblinds.com/ They custom cut everything so odd shaped windows don't add a lot of cost, they quality is good, and they do in fact honor their warranty. I had someone destroy a blind and they still replaced it under warranty!
- nonethewiser 4y agoDefinitely glad you shared
- midoridensha 4y agoThis begs the question: why are the windows non-standard sizes to begin with? As with most other things, a lot of problems are avoided by sticking with standards.
- StrangeATractor 4y agoThey were old and the builder got them for free from someone. I'd rather have these tbh, adds character.
