Window Valance Styles
A valance, i.e. a top treatment or a window topper, is a window treatment that decorates the top of a window. There are many different styles of valances and ways that they can be hung, which may influence the style you choose.

New Valance Styles – Spring/Summer 2009
We asked, we listened and for those who gave us their input… we followed through!Yes, we asked all of our registered users for input on new ideas for valances we received a lot of great suggestions. Based on those suggestions, we came out with seven new valance styles within the past couple of months. We have a couple valances that offer a shorter length than most of our standard valances as well as having a couple that can be hung on a decorative rod or decorative medallions. So far the new valances have had a great response from everyone. Just this week we came out with our Wesley Valance. This valance is similar to the ever so popular Grandeur Valance except that it does not have bottom scallops, which restrict the sizes the valance can be made. The Wesley Valance can be made any size in one inch increments so that customers can still have the double layer tailored look and the use of ball fringe or scalloped fringe. This style also looks great when it is used as a gathered valance as opposed to a flat tailored look.
New Window Treatment Valance Styles
Our Stagecoach Valance is unlike most other Stagecoach valances as it has a 3” rod pocket so that you can use a decorative pole for an outside mounted window treatment or a tension rod for an inside mounted window treatment. The valance comes in one inch increments so that you can fit it to your specific window. The Stagecoach valance is a stationary and is made to give you the illusion of being a board mounted shade.
The Arched Valance is a great choice for those seeking a simplistic yet professional looking window treatment. The Arched valance can be made in a span of one inch increments so that you get the exact size you need. Decorative trim is applied to the bottom for a final decorative touch. Like the Stagecoach valance, the Arched valance can also be hung on a decorative pole, inside mounted on a tension rod or can be used on a standard continental rod, so it is very versatile.
