What’s up, dreamedia family! Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of one of the most exciting shading solutions we’ve ever installed: a custom motorized honeycomb shade for an arch window. If you’ve got a half-circle, triangle, trapezoid, or circular window with no way to block the light, this one’s for you.

Most shade brands, including top-tier options like Lutron, don’t offer off-the-shelf products for these unique window shapes. But now, Dreamedia is proud to carry custom motorized shade solutions that solve this exact problem while integrating beautifully into full smart home control systems like Josh AI.

Finally, a Solution for Odd-Shaped Windows

We hear it all the time: “I have this weird window and nobody has a product for it.” Sound familiar? These specialty motorized shades are the answer. Whether it’s a half-moon in a bedroom, triangle accent windows near vaulted ceilings, or circular windows in an entryway, we now have motorized options that look clean, block light effectively, and integrate into your home control system.

In today’s walkthrough, we tackled an arch window in a primary bedroom. The room was already outfitted with Lutron Palladiom shades for the rectangular windows, but the half-circle above the bed was letting in intense morning light. We installed a blackout honeycomb shade using a Hunter Douglas motor platform: an elegant, functional solution that brought full lighting control to the room for the first time.

Built for Performance and Design

This isn’t just a retrofit fix. It’s a full custom build. These shades are fabricated from the ground up based on your window dimensions. The motors are sourced depending on the project (Hunter Douglas, Lutron, or Somfy), and blackout or filtered fabric options are available. We even offer on-site fabric matching and design consultations.

For windows like the arch in this install, the shade is mounted from the bottom up using tension strings. One string is fixed to guide the motion, while the other is motor-driven to raise the fabric. This tension-based design ensures a tight, flush fit that minimizes light gaps and blends seamlessly with your décor.

Smooth Integration with Smart Home Control

While the shade includes a handheld remote out of the box, our team will fully integrate it into your smart home system on request. Whether you’re using Josh AI, Control4, or another home automation platform, we ensure your custom shade operates with the rest of your home technology.

This specific project used a Hunter Douglas motor and Connect Bridge to make the shade fully compatible with Josh AI, enabling control via app, voice, or preset scenes. Once connected, you can control every shade in the home from one place, even if they’re powered by different manufacturers.

Expert Installation and White-Glove Service

Our team doesn’t just drop off a box. We measure everything down to 1/16", use protective floor coverings, and carefully install every component to preserve the aesthetic and integrity of your home. The result? A flawless finish with a near-zero light gap, better than many standard rectangular shade installs.

And yes, we offer remote consultations nationwide, and full on-site installations in select regions. If you’re in Colorado, we can even demo fabrics and motor systems live at our Denver showroom or in your home.
