Seamless Blend with Curtains and Drapes

Our valances are crafted to harmonize with your existing drapery. Whether you prefer matching drapes and valances or like to layer different styles, we make it easy to create a unified look. Choose valance drapes for windows or valances with sheer curtains to add balance, structure, and softness. Designed with careful attention to scale and proportion, our valances add sophistication without overpowering the room. For sliding glass doors or tall windows, coordinated panel drapes with valances offer a complete, polished aesthetic.

Designed to Complement Every Space

Each room in your home has its own feel, and our valances are built to reflect that. Whether you’re adding softness to a bedroom, warmth to a living room, or charm to a kitchen window, the right valance makes all the difference. Choose elegant window valances for formal areas, or go with a farmhouse kitchen valance to add rustic appeal. We also offer half window valance options for café settings or layered designs for bay windows. It’s all about enhancing your space effortlessly.

Practical Factors to Consider Before Buying

When selecting valances, there’s more than style to think about. Let’s explore a few practical considerations to ensure you get the most out of your selection.

Room Functionality
Different rooms require different treatments. Use blackout valances for bedrooms and light-filtering options in kitchens for ambient light.
Mounting Options
Consider whether you want inside- or outside-mounted valances. Inside mounts offer a sleek look, while outside mounts create visual height.

Window Size and Placement
For bay windows, patio doors, or sliding glass doors, length and width are critical. We customize for balance and proportion.
Layering with Existing Treatments
Already have blinds, shades, or drapes? No problem. Our valances are crafted to complement existing window coverings without clashing or overcrowding.

Valances are not just for aesthetics—they play a functional role too. With the right combination of materials and placement, you’ll enhance energy efficiency, light control, and visual continuity across your space. We’re here to guide you at every step.

Expert Tips from Window Design Pros

When choosing valances, it helps to think of them as more than just a top piece—they’re the introduction to your window’s entire story. Start by identifying your room’s needs: do you need light control, or is the goal purely visual appeal? For large windows, try layering your valance with long drapery panels. If you’re designing for a small space, opt for tailored or flat valances to keep it neat. Don’t overlook hardware and finishes—simple rods or hidden brackets can refine the whole look. Our design consultants are here to help guide your decisions with style and function in mind.
