Valances and Cornices

Changing a Room's Look with Valances and Cornices

Valances and cornices can make a dramatic impact in any room with less cost.

The Versatile Valance

Valances are available in a number of different styles including pleated, gathered, balloon, scarf, embassy and halo. Normally hung from a separate board or rod, valances can be any shape and size.
A valance is a great way to update or soften a window's look. Decorative and contrasting trims, tassels and beads can customize your valance even more.

A valance is a piece of fabric that's hung horizontally along the top of a window and serves both a decorative and functional purpose. A valance can make a low window look taller or a wide window look cozier. It can also cover hardware used for a functional drape.

The Crowning Cornice

A cornice is a fixed structure that's also hung horizontally along the top of a window. The main difference is that a cornice is made from a rigid material like wood which gives it a more formal appearance. Once constructed, it can be covered with fabric, painted, or finished in other ways.

Cornices can be rectangular in shape or curved, scalloped, pointed, or customized in any number of different ways. Decorative molding and any type of printed or textured material and trim can also be added to create a truly unique look.
