Decorative Swag Pelmets

A swag pelmet is a decorative accent piece that we fabricate in the same fabrics as your jabots. Pelmets come in many different styles and sizes, however, we fabricate ours in a pleated fashion to coordinate with our pleated jabots.

Most people who use pelmets with swag and jabots are after a more formal appearance for their room. Pelmets are used typically wherever two swags meet and don’t overlap and can be used on top of or underneath the swags.


Grommet Choices for your Valances or Panels

When ordering your grommet panels or valances you have the option of ordering different colored finishes such as nickel, antique brass, brass or black as well as different shapes such as round, square or diamond.

The most obvious of grommet shapes would be your standard round grommet. If you want to give your grommet window treatments a fresh look, take a look at the square or diamond set grommets.

Basically we can take a square grommet and set them on the window treatment to actually look square or we can set them to appear as diamond shaped. These new grommet shapes are becoming a new fashion trend and can take an ordinary grommet window treatment and make it extraordinary.

Who said grommets had to be round? And yes the diamond and square set grommets still work with standard round poles up to 1 3/8” in diameter!


Custom Made Duvet Covers

Duvet covers are a popular choice in custom bedding. They can easily be fabricated as a reversible cover that you can use on either side in your bedroom.

Make sure you have a dust ruffle that will coordinate with the fabric on both sides of the duvet cover.

Top that with window valances and curtains fabricated in one or both fabrics on the duvet or in the same fabric as your dust ruffle and you can easily give your room a subtle alternating look each day!


The New Shelby Style Valance

The Shelby “style” window treatment offers a nice option for the small hard-to-outfit windows as well as larger windows.

The Shelby style can also be purchased as single units, meaning you can purchase a left or right swag for your window if you want a more modern looking swag for your home.

It is also sold as a three piece set for a more traditional appeal. The Shelby valance as a three piece set will fit wall spaces up to 84” in width, whereas the Shelby single units will fit wall spaces up to 45” wide.

We refer this style as to fitting wall space as we fabricate this window valance to fit the spacing of your medallion knobs (either knobs that you currently have up – or where you plan on mounting the knobs).

We suggest mounting the knobs about 4-5” above your window or window molding and approximately 1” on the outside of the molding for the best look.


New Board Mounted Valance Styles

We have been busy again fabricating two new styles in our Board Mounted Valance department.

The Shawl Valance and the Glendale Valance can be fabricated in widths up to 72”. The Shawl Valance boasts a gradual arch in the center of the main valance with an inverted pleat on each side of the arch.

Soft cascading jabots are contrast lined as a standard. Optional ball fringe, scalloped fringe or glass bead trim can be added to this style for a nice finishing touch.

The Glendale Valance has a bit more tailored masculine appeal and will look great in a home office or library as well as bedrooms or dining rooms.

Optional tassel fringe or glass bead trim can be applied to this style.
