Circular window - curtains?

[zippitydooda]

Hi there,

Anyone have any idea how to 'dress' a porthole/circular window?

So far the only ideas I've been given is to plug the window at night with foam covered with a fabric, or to use a normal curtain and draw it right across the window.....BUT what I'm looking for is a sheer collapsable blind that sits across the windows diameter and folds out to cover the window..and preferably you can click it out of the frame when it collapses into a single line across the diamater...anyone comes across this before?

I know Hunter Douglas do them in the US but can't find anywhere UK or Ireland to supply one...

All advice welcome..this is driving me batty already!

How about shutters, they do custom shapes and sizes. No link to this company, just thinking about this myself.

Hey Z, totally get your frustration! A sheer collapsible blind for a circular window is a niche request, but a clever one. You might want to check with a curtain shop in Dubai— dubaicurtainshop.ae some of them specialize in custom solutions and international shipping. They often handle unique window shapes and might be able to create exactly what you're describing. Good luck!
