The choice of fabric shapes both the look and function of your valance. Linen and cotton offer a light, relaxed feel, while textured or jacquard fabrics add richness and visual interest. Lined or blackout fabrics improve light control and insulation, and performance fabrics provide durability and easy maintenance, making them ideal for everyday use.
Accurate measurements ensure a polished, custom fit. The width should match or slightly extend beyond the window frame for better coverage, while the height typically ranges from 8 to 20 inches depending on the desired proportion. Depth is also important to ensure the valance or cornice fully covers curtain rods or layered window treatments underneath.
Yes, layering is a great way to achieve a high-end, custom look. You can mount a cornice or valance over your current drapery panels to hide the rod and add depth. Just ensure the top treatment is deep enough to clear the curtain folds underneath.
All custom valances and cornices can be tailored to your exact window size, fabric, and style preferences. This allows you to perfectly coordinate with your custom curtains and create a cohesive, high-end window treatment that feels truly made for your space.
Yes, most valances and cornices are designed for easy care. Fabric valances can be lightly vacuumed or spot cleaned, upholstered styles benefit from occasional dusting, and wood or faux wood cornices can be wiped clean. With minimal upkeep, they maintain their beauty and structure over time.
