What the AI looks for in Window Treatment Valances
- Valance drop
- A drop of roughly one-fifth to one-sixth of the window height is a common guide. Too long a drop blocks light and the view, and too short a drop looks skimpy.
- Width
- Cover the full rod width plus any returns, gathered to about 1.5 to 2 times that width. This hides hardware and the tops of blinds or curtains evenly.
- Style and mount
- Match rod-pocket, tab or tailored styles to your rod, and use a projecting rod if the valance layers over curtains. Without enough projection, the valance crushes the panels behind it.
Brands that matter
- Lorraine Home Fashions: Many standard rod-pocket valances in solids and prints.
- NICETOWN: Blackout and thermal valances.
- Achim: Low-cost printed and lace valances.
What to avoid
- Valances too narrow to gather, which look like a flat strip.
- Mounting a valance on the same rod as heavy curtains without a double rod.
