This floral pattern is accentuated by the curved inverted box pleated valance. The flat tailored style allows the beautiful floral motif to make a statement. The box pleat style is simple enough that it can be used in a room with many windows, like this kitchen.
Without any window treatment the room is overpowered by the windows. The floral pattern brings the beauty of the outdoors inside, creating a soft edge to the hard windows.
By making the inverted box pleated valance a little shorter the same style can be used for the sink window in the same kitchen. The shorter valance still allows the larger scale of the flower to work in proportion to the window size. All the valances are trimmed in a contrasting cord, accenting the curved edge.
