Valance

Valances are stationary and primarily decorative. Valances can be used alone when privacy is not a factor. They can be a decorative finish over other window treatments, such as vertical blinds and drapes.

Valances fill a variety of decorating functions. They can provide continuity of design, color or pattern throughout a room. They can be used to hide the drapery hardware.

Cloud Valance & Balloon Valance

Resembling cloud and balloon shades, these stationary treatments cannot be raised or lowered. Cloud valances have a gathered heading that falls into soft fabric poufs that can be finished with or without a skirt. Balloon valances have inverted pleats to create a slightly more tailored effect, but one that is still softened by billowing balloons of fabric..

Austrian Valance

These very formal valances are created by softly shirring fabric vertically between scallops. When topped by other treatments, they supply a refined and finished look.
