After deciding on the perfect window covering, top treatments are next on the list. You now have a couple of options: window cornices or valances. Both options provide finishing touches to your window by framing and accenting your draperies, curtains and other window coverings as well as functioning to hide the rods and other hardware used in hanging window treatments. But how do you decide which is right for the design of your rooms?

Window Cornices

One top treatment option to add to your window coverings is a cornice. Window cornices are decorative framework, generally in a box shape, that cover the hardware of curtains and other window coverings. They can be painted, covered in fabric, or filled with embellishments like twigs for a natural, outdoor style. At Blind Express, we make sure your window cornices help create the customized look you want in every room of your house.

Valances

Window valances are generally made of fabric, sometimes matching the fabric of your existing window treatment, and come in a variety of styles. These include balloon, pleated, and swag or jabot. Adding valances to draperies, curtains, and other window coverings is a great way to bring a fresh look to your existing décor. Valances can also be used alone on windows that you feel do not need additional window coverings. Top treatments allow the maximum amount of sunlight in to your room, and they can also help a smaller room feel open and airy.
