Window valances are another form of treatment and an alternative to the usual choice between blinds, drapes and curtains. Unlike the aforementioned three, these treatments only cover the uppermost part of the window and can stand on its own or paired with another treatment.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco shares the four best valances for your windows.
1. Pleated
This is a good option to add some flair to your new windows without sacrificing elegance. Like curtains and drapes, these are made with heavy fabrics in regal colors like purple and blue. While they certainly add some definition and weight to a room, it’s not that much when you compare it to drapes and curtains as they only cover the top part of the window.
2. Wood
These valances are the heaviest you’ll find and are often used as an additional design feature for most rooms. More often than not, these are used for kitchen windows as it extends the space between the cabinets. This creates a streamlined aesthetic and will make the window look flusher to the rest of the kitchen.
3. Drapes
These are longer valances that serve as a theatrical piece that adds elegance to the drapes. They are usually made with the same material as the drape itself and can be seen as an extension of the window covering.
4. Lace
This is the more popular valance as its aesthetics matches any kind of interior window design, even for modern home. They don’t provide any utility other than an extra flair for your windows, but they are enough to turn your otherwise bare window into a focal point of the room.
