Valance
Width 48″Depth 7″Height 16″Shape rectangle
Overview
A valance is a short decorative fabric treatment across the top of a window. It hides curtain hardware or adds a finishing touch on its own, and shines over kitchen windows, above curtains, or wherever full drapes would be too much.
Sizing & placement
It is 48 inches (4 feet) wide, 7 inches deep from the wall, and 16 inches tall. Mount it across the top of the window, a little wider than the frame, so it covers the head of the window without blocking much light.
Where it works
Living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens; traditional, farmhouse, and cottage styles.
