All the high end designers and stores seem to be opting out of valances all together Can you just have the shades? If you want more, I might suggest long drapes. Ikea has lots of nice options and that is the route I just went.
Yes, it seems to be the look. While I added drapes in the bedrooms, I think in the living areas, I am just going with blinds and that's it. Save time and money!
i think it depends on how dark you want the room.....i sleep days and work nights.
i most defiantly want a valance over the top of the window - not just around it.
in my first house i used foam core board covered in batting and topped with muslin to make a valance. hung a 2x2 across the widow width and used velco to hang the valance, and curtains on the rod just under it.
2 ideas we have used, the first ras to use an inexpensive spring rod in the kitchen window, then draped cool large napkins over it! diagonally. Looked like a valance to everyone! I replaced that with a lomg cloth that is pushed through a small box on either sideof the window. The larger cloth works both like a valance, and as a curtain.
