Many people hesitate to explore the world of valances because they believe them to be droopy, tasteless top treatments. That may have been the case in the 90s, but valances today are available in many styles, fabrics, and colors. Modern valances are truly stunning additions that let you decorate your home in even more interesting and fun ways. The designers at Curtain Concepts have been helping homeowners create fabulous custom window treatments for over 20 years, and we’d love to help you next. We’re committed to designing valances that meet your precise specifications and needs for a single window or your whole home.
Valances are similar to drapery panels but are much shorter and cover only the top area of a window. You can adorn any window using a valance. Valances look phenomenal paired with any window covering, including drapes, shades, and blinds. A valance also makes a fabulous style statement as a solo treatment on windows in rooms with low light control or privacy needs. No matter how formal or casual your existing decor is, a valance can be made to fit right in. Or stand out; your choice.
The terms are used interchangeably, but valances and cornices are different top treatments. Valances are made using only fabric, which gives a valance its soft aesthetic. A cornice has a hard base that gives it a more structured appearance. Cornices are often covered with fabric but can be left without a covering. A wood cornice looks particularly attractive atop hardwood window blinds. Both top treatments can be made in various shapes and sizes.
Valances can be useful for many things beyond aesthetic purposes:
