An excellent solution for this is the use of automated window shades, which have gained immense popularity for their convenience in making adjustments. These automated shades offer an easy way to safeguard your window coverings from the regular wear and tear they may encounter.

Inside or Outside Mount?

When determining the best mounting approach for your corner windows, it is crucial to consider the window depth and the materials present in the installation area. Depending on the type of window coverings you choose, an inside mount may be feasible. However, if the window has a shallow depth, an outside mount can create a visually striking effect, appearing as if it is intentionally integrated into the house’s design.

Another compelling option is to combine both approaches. By employing an inside mount on one side, including the headrail, while allowing the headrail to be positioned above the window on the other side, you can achieve a unique and appealing aesthetic.
