What is a Window Valance?
When it comes to creating a polished final look for window treatments, you often have to think outside the window covering itself in order to paint the full picture. Custom accent pieces and window toppers add an element of sophistication and help ingrain the window treatments into the existing decor for a seamless look.
For California homeowners looking for that designer finish in their home, consider the stylistic power of a modern window valance. At Kao’s Pacific, we love using valances to tie the styles in a room together, and we can help you sort through the wide range of modern window valance ideas out there to find the style perfect for your individual home.
What is a Modern Window Valance?
A modern window valance is a type of window topper designed to cover the upper parts of a window or glass door. The treatment is made from draped fabric that you can style in numerous ways. Some popular styles of draping for valances in California homes include cascade, scalloped, inverted box, and arched, though there are many more options as well.
Other types of window toppers similar to valances include cornices, which usually feature hard materials like wood, and swags, which have a less structured design than modern window valances and often feature longer pieces of fabric loosely draped from the header piece.
Modern window valances can work alone on your window for a simple but refined look. Another idea is to partner them with other window treatments for a multi-layer window fashion. For example, pairing a structured valance with flowing custom drapery will add textural balance to the treatment. Meanwhile, adding a fabric valance over hardwood shutters can introduce color or pattern to the design. Valances can also finish a look by hiding hardware from the underlying window treatment layers beneath their stylish fabric front.
Modern Window Valance Ideas
- Pair with Patterned Window Treatments: At Kao’s Pacific, we have patterned window treatments to pair with your window valance. We love the use of geometric prints with more structured modern window valance designs and nature-inspired patterns with a more organic design for more flowing styles of valances.
- Select Earth-tone Colors: This year, earth tones continue to be a popular interior design choice. This trend helps bring the outside in with refined style to capitalize on the beauty and serenity of the great outdoors inside our homes. For window treatments to pair with your modern window valance, explore greens, blues, and rich brown hues to embody the nature-inspired palette of 2024.
