Creative Ways to Use Window Valances

Most homeowners realize the added benefit and beauty that window valances add to their home.  Not only do they add warmth, color and texture to a room, they hide the ugly raised blinds.  

 

However, valances are very versatile, too, and can be used in many different ways to accent other areas than just windows.  

 

One popular alternative use for valances is in the bathroom over the tub enclosure or shower curtain.  They really give a finished look to the bathroom when hung over the shower curtain to hide the rod and rings.  With a glass enclosure with sliding doors, hanging valances adds color and warmth to the room, while helping to minimize the echoey nature of all those hard surfaces.  

 

With our higher ceilings and open floor plans, sometimes it can be difficult to help define spaces and make them more intimate without closing them off.  Using valances hung at ceiling height can help to define a space and make a cozy dining area or conversation nook.  

 

When hanging drapery panels in doorways, use valances to add extra color and texture.  Using a double-sided panel and valance on either side gives you a finished look from both rooms.  You can create your own double-sided panel by using clip rings to clip two drapery panels back-to-back.  The panels can be either matching or different, depending on the look you want from either room.  This style looks particularly good in 9’ doorways.  

 

You can also create a custom bedskirt by using velcro or iron-on seam tape to attach valances to a bedskirt.  Most valances have a 16” drop, so they work really well on today’s higher beds.  

 

There are even magnetic valances that can be accessorized to fit your style.  They incorporate sheet metal into the valance and magnets into the accessories to you can mix and match accessories, layer pieces over each other, and change the look quickly and easily.  

 

Valances are a versatile decorating tool that is significantly under-utilized in today’s homes.  Create your own customized decor with valances!
