Here are 30 picture-perfect window valance ideas you’re free to try in your own space.
Make Them Standalone
Erin Williamson Design
Valances don’t have to be accompanied with curtains.
To really amp this up, use the same richly-colored gold hues in your curtains or nearby upholstery too.

If you DIY your valances, this is a great way to use up any extra fabric.
When walls are red, use green.
When walls are blue, use yellow or orange.

Try White Valances
To keep your spaces looking bright and airy, use white valances.
Add Plaid
Ashley Montgomery Design
Plaid is a classic window valance textile, and for good reason.
Pick a window valance in a gray or off-white.

Additionally, hang the fabric loosely, creating an unassuming and perfectly put-together look.
It will be barely noticeable, except by the eagle-eyed.
Pick a fabric with a velvety texture to make it feel all the more elegant.

It doesn’t need to be a perfect matcha close-enough color will do.
They can provide a great contrast to the moodier tones elsewhere in your space.
Though this may be a pricier approach, the result looks high-end and custom made.

Hang valances with some flowery accents to get this pop of spring in your home too.
Use Them With Rounded Windows
Valances aren’t just for perfectly straight windows.
