Custom Window Valances: The Perfect Finishing Touch
A valance is a top treatment for your window. It creates a finishing touch across your whole window by adding drama and making it look finished. At Geneva’s Interiors in Federal Way, Washington, we can help you choose the colors, styles, and designs for your custom valance to accentuate the look and feel of your home.
What Are Custom Window Valances?
At its most basic, a valance is a piece of loose fabric that covers the hardware at the top of your window treatment. It completes the look by adding a decorative element. A custom valance can make the window treatment, whether you’ve selected blinds, shades, or drapes, look more dramatic by giving the appearance of falling from the ceiling.
Benefits of Custom Valances
Although the primary purpose of a custom valance is to cover the hardware, giving your windows a more finished and elevated look, valances also have other benefits, such as:
- Concealing the window treatment’s hardware for a clean appearance.
- Adding color and visual interest.
- Providing insulation and improving energy efficiency.
- Making a room feel larger because a valance can draw the eye upward.
Styles of Window Valance
There are several styles of valance to choose from, ranging from formal to simple. These options allow you to use one, no matter your design style, to create a more finished look in your home. The simplest valance is a piece of fabric that goes across a curtain on the rod via pockets or clips. You can make it more intricate from there by adding design elements, like pleats. Style the fabric so it swoops down and up, draping across the top of the window.
Customize Your Valances
Customizing your valance starts with choosing the style you prefer. You can vary the aesthetic by selecting materials like cotton, silk, damask, taffeta, or velvet fabrics. You may also go for something more unique, like patterned fabric or fabric with a design. It’s important to note that different patterns can create a more casual or formal look.
For example, using stripes, florals, or checkers all create a different atmosphere, just as the pattern size does. Similarly, a design like waves or geometric shapes creates a different feel. Custom window valances allow you to infuse your home with depth, interest, and personality.
Is a Cornice a Valance?
A cornice is not a valance, but it’s another window top treatment. Instead of being made solely from fabric, it’s made from wood and covered with cloth. The wood allows you to create intricate designs and add additional embellishments.
