The Sari Valence, Aesthetically Appealing And User Friendly

Posted by jasnav on September 2, 2009

For those who are planning to renovate their living rooms on the lines of contemporary style, here are some approaches that would help in achieving a perfect innovative look.

Get Innovative With An Ethnic Look

The Sari valence is no different from other aspects of furnishing a room and requires just as much thought as the other elements of furnishing. A valence is shorter curtains or drapes that are about one-sixth of the entire curtain arrangement and is hung over the top edge of the curtain. These can be hung on their own or together. The sari valence is a unique fusion of several Indian ethnic and western styles.

It has a wealth of tradition as well as the contemporary approach. It maybe casual but it can also be elegant.

Wide Choices To Grab

There are many different styles of valences. One of the many styles is the Austrian valence which is very popular. These are characterized by rows of horizontal gathers and scallops. The valence drapes beautifully and lends an exclusive look to the room.

Coming to the choice of cloth, there is brocade, brocatelle, chenille, silk, tapestry, velvet, cotton and jute which are among many of sari valence textures to chose from. The sari valence gives a person looking for a distinctive style an innovative approach to home décor.

Panorama Of Patterns

Whether it is the color of the walls, the furniture or the color scheme for the entire room, you have to plan it correctly and this requires a lot of careful thinking. Sari valences are made from traditional Indian saris and come in a myriad of colors, fabric and textures. Sometimes these may be plain or have a self pattern, or be embellished with certain motifs or sequins and even lace. Some have very rich and elegant borders, leaving the entire length of the valence plain with only a heavy border. These valences enhance the beauty of the room and give it a truly royal feel.

Let Your Imagination Soar

Everyone always emphasizes on the power of the imagination and the sari valance gives ample scope and opportunity for one to do that.

One must have all the elements figured out before you go to buy or to set up a room. Give a direction to your thoughts, and from there you must work with the textures, fabrics and colors of the various sari valences.

The Mix And Match Rule

One of the most important guidelines to a room that is well co-coordinated is the quality, texture, color, cut and print of the sari valence. If you want a balanced mix or want to go ahead with just two or three like colors, give vent to your imagination. Handmade sari valences are available in the mystifying colors of hazelnut to deep chocolate and in a variety of textures.

You can get innovative by teaming up bold color curtains with soft textured valences or curtains of light shades with sari valences that have prints or embellishments. These will not only complement each other but will give an added atmosphere to the room. A perfect assortment of colors with some fusion could do wonders to the interior of the rooms.

Not only is this greatly appealing but also amazingly user friendly. The sari valence has been designed to add exclusive elegance and style to your curtain arrangements and room. It makes the entire ambience lavish by the stunning assortment of color and fabric.
