Arranging curtains is the most eye-catching aspect of the room. Curtain Valences form an integral part of the arrangement and can be described as the crowning glory of curtain arrangement. Placed at the very top of a full-length curtain or a window, they fit in very neatly, concealing and camouflaging any evidence of fault in a design.

Valences also create a softer and a more appealing effect than pelmets, whether wooden or otherwise. Position the valance above the curtain or the underside of the pelmet for the best effect. It can also have a special track for itself on the pelmet.

As a general guideline it is advisable that a drop of a valance should be one sixth of the overall curtain arrangement.

A valance is the main ingredient in the composition of a beautiful room. Often the most traditional idea when infused with a touch of imagination and originality can turn the most obscure curtain (and with it the entire room) to one that has limitless opportunity. You can infuse a touch of your personality by giving vent to your creative side and let your imagination take shape in the form of perfectly made valances.

Valences often have “tails”. If the curtain is patterned, a plain border will define if the curtain arrangement valance can be fluted, have festoons, and elaborate ruching and frills or the more formal loops.

Valences are nearly always made entirely of fabric. It gives definition to the curtain arrangement and makes the architectural lines appear smooth and continuous. It also serves the purpose of looking good and is pleasing to the eye by creating perfect symmetry.

The sari would make a valance that is grand and luxurious, as also one that is very easy to mould and handle. The sari valance is simple to maintain and very malleable. One can drape it, pleat it, gather it up or simply wrap it up around the pelmet giving the room a distinctive air of traditional beauty.

The sari valance has a lot of character and substance. They come in many different weaves ranging from the widely versatile earthy tones, to the contrast of black and white, and the color statements of bold pink and orange.
