So here are some window treatment ideas you can use to cover your special window: 
Cellular and Pleated Shades Whatever shape your window is, a cellular shade can be made to fit it perfectly. Octagon and hexagon windows can be covered with cellular shades that can be raised up to the widest part of the window. The very upper part of the window (where the window becomes narrower) will remain covered. Since pentagon windows are usually widest on the bottom, pentagon shades are best with top-down operation.(This way the window can be fully exposed.) If bottom-up operation is preferred it is also available, but like the octagon and hexagon windows the upper part of the window will stay covered. Triangle windows can also be covered with operable cellular shades. Both top-down and bottom-up operations are available.
!Another idea for circle windows is to cover it with the cellular or pleated fabric in a sunburst fashion. This is a stationary or "inoperable" window treatment.
The Sunburst 
This versatile window covering option is made with shirred fabric, pulled together in the center or in the corner and spread out on the edges. A rose from the same fabric is often used as an ornament.
This window treatment is most popular with specialty shapes because of its ability to be adapted into any shape. The beauty of it is that it can be used in rooms that have more than one type of specialty window. Mostly, it is made with sheers, but can also be made with any fabric to match the rest of the rooms window treatments. But please note that heavier fabrics will allow less light to shine through, where as the sheers will only soften the light. Shutters 
Shutters can be custom designed to fit every shape imaginable, leaving you just to choose if you want a sunburst style (as in the photo on the right) or horizontal slats.
For round and oval windows, shutters will remain stationary, but the octagon, hexagon, pentagon, and triangle windows have a choice of being opened via hinges on the side or bottom. To see how else shutters can be used for specialty shape windows click here. Silhouette 
Cover all your windows with one special window treatment; Silhouette window shadings. Silhouette window shadings are available in just about any shape so you can match it to the rest of the room. They also blend beautifully with Luminette privacy sheers.
Silhouette specialty shapes are not operable and vanes remain in a fully opened position, therefore letting the light in but gently diffusing it.
