Valances and Curtain Panels

With great excitement the Curtain Rod Store introduces a beautiful new line of valances and curtain panels. Valances are very popular window treatments that work well on most windows. You can transform a room from casual to formal in minutes with the addition of a valance. Whether your room needs a simple fresh look or a more sophisticated look, the style and fabric of the valance you choose can add the finishing touch. Valances look perfect on the windows by themselves or you can change the appearance by combining curtains in coordinating fabrics.

Types of Curtain Valances

A valance is a top drapery treatment that can stand alone to enhance a window or it can be used to top another curtain. Adding a valance over the top of a curtain to cover the headrail of your undercurtain will give your window a finished look. The length can vary from 10 inches to as much as 28 inches. There are a multitude of styles such as scalloped, straight, and crescent to name a few. Using a decorative curtain rod that compliments your valance fabric and style will pull the entire room together.

Add Color with Valances

Our valances are available in three lined tailored styles - Scalloped, Crescent, and Paris. There are four fabric designs with a variety of color choices for each pattern. The designs we offer are the Devon Stripe which has an array of coordinating colors in a striped pattern, the Rosecliff, which is a solid color with a beautiful embossed rose pattern, the Embroidered Faux Silk featuring a delicate embroidered floral pattern, and the distinctive floral and fruit design of the Kentshire Onyx. Our panels are available in all the above mentioned patterns and color choices. To ensure you choose the correct color we recommend you order a sample swatch for the exact shading. It is exceptionally easy to create a theme in your room by changing your window treatments. Compliment your d�cor and accent your color scheme with matching panels and valances.

A Valance Changes the Look or Your Room

Valances can be used to create harmony in your room by finishing your decorating theme. Because valances are so easy to install and so cost effective, why not change the look of your room with the seasons! A decorating tip is to choose the valance you would like before painting the room to ensure a perfect match. Discover how the Curtain Rod Store can provide you with the look you want for your home. Get started today by shopping our website and take advantage of our Free Shipping on all your valance and panel orders. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about creating a new expression for every room in your home.
