Valances ~ Adding beauty to vetical blinds

Dozens of stunning looks can be created by simply gathering a fabric sleeve onto a rod. The versatility allows these valances to complete the decorating scheme of your room no matter what style you are using - from contemporary to Victorian.By using various rod combinations, toppers can form a subtle backdrop for other furnishings or make a dramatic statement on their own. Any humdrum window can be transformed. Toppers will also soften the harsh, straight-edged look of Venetians, verticals and other hard window coverings. They are perfect for situations where only a narrow treatment can be used, and yet the range in depth can extend from 3" to 14".Very little fabric is required, so toppers are great money savers. Your main investment will be in the rod (s). Ease in construction makes them a great beginner's project. If you are planning to move or change your decorating scheme in the future, they can comfortably adapt to different window sizes and decorating styles. There are different types of valences.
