Window Valance Types
from: Maxx Home GuidesTry to imagine a house without any screens if you will. Basically, it's square in shape and the door is the only opening. Not a pretty picture. It's likely nobody would want to live in a house with no windows. A hut made from coconut branches would be more convenient than a large house with only walls to look at. It's likely without much air entering the space that the atmosphere in the house will be stuffy and suffocating.
Since having screens are so important, it follows that there's a lot of reason for treatments. One of the best ways is to place blinds, curtains, draperies and shutters. If the radiance of the sun is too glaring, but you don't want your view to be obstructed, window valances are the perfect material to use. There are a plenty of styles to choose from and there are also some that need not be seamed.
A window valance can either be casual or formal. The textile used can be soft or hard and heavy or light. If you're raring to exercise your hidden artistry, by all means, combine one fabric with another. You can even personalize them by playing with colors through the application of non- toxic paints. If not, sew some patches of your favorite characters.
There's a type of window valance called balloon, that gets it's name from its appearance. Usually the top of the rod is ruffled then the cloth doubled-up and pinned in increments in order to form an inflated effect. Some stuff in tissues or paper in order to achieve a puffy-look. Cotton that isn't heavy is very much fitting to be applied as well as patterns of stripes and solids.
Swag is a type that can hang loosely down to the floor or can be tied by knots to the corner. They're supported by two brackets beautifully adorned. On windows that are wide, interior designers recommend the textile should be backed up in the center with a pin concealed at the back. Fabrics of the sheer type are very much suitable although there are also some that have utilized heavy ones.
Pleated is a type that works best with cloths that aren't light. It's for this reason that maintaining the form and holding the contour. This is one of those flairs that should be trusted to a professional since it's not easy to accomplish. Once it's done, hang it by using a casing built out of brackets and boards.
