Top 5 Valance Styles

Saturday, August 24, 2019 | By: Kristen Stevenson

Are you ready for the top 5 trending VALANCE styles?

In the video below we will go over the top 5.

NUMBER 1: The Seaforth Valance

Our most requested valance style is the Seaforth Valance. It adds a sleek, tailored look for any space!

The simple design of the Seaforth leaves tons of room for custom accents...

Adding contrast pleats, welt, or banding and or custom cut-outs bring even more personality to your design.

NUMBER 2: The Seaforth Valance with Additional Pleats

A slight spin on the classic, the Seaforth Valance with Additional Pleats is a great choice for multiple windows within one moulding or windows with a larger width!

NUMBER 4: The Chatham Valance

For even more flare, the Chatham valance  finishes with a slight curve along the bottom, like a soft smile!

Accentuate your pleats with a contrast fabric!

Add custom details like flat trim, tassel trim,  banding, or a decorative cord with a lip along the top  and or bottom to make your valance design truly one-of-a-kind.

NUMBER 5: The Bronson Topper

The Bronson is a unique take on a "flat" valance, similar to the Seaforth along the top.

However, contrast ties are added down the length of either side for a faux "rolled-up" look, but the valance is completely stationary.

There are SO MANY valance styles, but these were just a few of our favorites!
