Default Begonia Eyebrow window

We have a Begonia with the standard Villages blinds.

There is what is called an "eyebrow window" at the top of the front bedroom/office that faces east and gets lots of light in the morning.

Has anyone covered this window and have a suggestion for a good company to do this?

We got a piece of plywood had it painted to match the interior & exterior paint, our handyman fitted it with flexible quarter round molding & we placed a neat decal on the inside.

Made the room very comfortable with a Hunter Douglas shade

I have a south facing eyebrow window in my Iris. My tenants asked if I could do something about it as the sun woke up their guests early in the morning! I put plantation shutters over the eyebrow. My big decision was whether to put a separate shutter on the eyebrow or to do shutters that covered the entire window.

We had the same issue a few years ago with our Iris eyebrow window. In researching what to do the only solution was to have a custom piece made by window companies. We lucked out as another Villager was changing their shutters and I bought their custom made eyebrow that had slats and crown molding and fit perfectly for $100. To do it right you need a custom made eyebrow shutter but it will run about $1100.

Here's option we can do for you. We also can do just the arch portion. Our shutters have an R factor of over 4 so you'll love the efficiency they provide.
We did plantation shutters on ours. We purchased them from 48 hour blinds and love them. We also get alot of light in the morning and it's helped immensely.

You could put 3m window tinting in the eyebrow. The solar light people sell and install it and it lowers the temperature and cuts down on the light.

We have a Gardenia and 48 Hour Blinds put in beautiful shutters that cover the entire window and arch. They look terrific. They do take about 6-8 weeks to get in since they are custom.
