What is a valance?
A valence is a window treatment that only covers the top part of the window. It can be hung alone or combined with longer curtains. Unlike a cornice that is constructed by covering a board with fabric to be hung at the upper part of a window, a valance is completely made of fabric.

What are the most common types of valances?
• Rod Pocket Valances. Are you looking for a traditional design scheme? Rod pocket valances are a prime choice. If you don’t want to invest a lot in your curtain rod, these valances will cover it up. For a pleated effect, make sure to bunch the fabric along the top.

• Grommet Valances. Featuring grommets at the top that allow the rod to pass through, these valances will lend a modern feel to your living space. You might want to upgrade your curtain rod, since it will be on full display.

• Scarf Valances. A scarf valance is a piece of fabric that is draped along a curtain rod for a dramatic statement. They’re a perfect accent to add a pop of color and flair to your living space.
