Answer 1

Are you looking for privacy?

If you go to your local Lowes...they have special order window coverings for oddly shaped windows.

Also you may try frosting the glass or applying a rippled old glass looking treatment...then maybe some cascading foliage.

Or you may do another cornice for the top of the half circle window and have window treatments that hang down over the half circle and then some on the sides all the way down to the floor...that way it would look like one big window.

just a few ideas...i don't know how functional the window needs to be.

Answer 2

Half circle window coverings are sold at Home Depot. I had one in my last house and I used a big paper fan that I bought at an Oriental store. It sat on the little ledge, was white on the back but had a pretty print on the front. I've always wondered too how a piece of stained glass would look hanging in the window, if you could fine the right size.

Answer 3

If it is hard to reach and you want something stationary to difffuse the light or reduce the glare...Home Depot has a neat new vinyl or plastic that can be cut to the shape of the window, and it sticks on, not sticky like contact paper--but like the old colorforms from the 50's early 60's !!! The motifs are from clouds in a blue sky to tiffany stained glass! it is fun and funky--all you need is smooth glass, it won't adhere to the bumple-dy glass like in an old textured bathroom window!
Good Luck!

Check out the 1st link below, it has window film in an astounding array of styles and colors -- stuff that looks like wallpaper, stained glass, etched glass, whatever!

The 2nd link is Home Depot's line of decorative window film, lots of choices there as well.

Hope you find something you link. (Of course, the other poster had some great ideas, too!!). Have fun and good luck!
