Taking shape.

The shape of a bay window can often be intimidating when it comes to a decision on a decorative window treatment. Most ready made styles simply will not fit the unusual shape. This custom made tailored box pleat valance, fits perfectly! Box pleat curved valance in bay windowThe inverted pleats fall at the window separations and create a natural point at which the window treatment can form to the bay window shape. The subtle curve on the bottom of the valance gives the tailored valance softness. The fabric band at the top edge of the valance  is run on the bias adding a unique detail. The same valance style was used over the kitchen sink window where the curved edge becomes the new focal point, drawing your eye away from the vertical and horizontal lines of the muntins in the window.

    I am just getting started on creating window treatments. I’d like to do something like this in my Family Room/Bay window nook and kitchen window. Are these valances mounted on boards, or did you use the 2″ wide curtain rods?

    Thanks,
    Chris
