The same way a necklace or colorful pair of shoes adds punch to a simple black dress, an unexpected touch of trim along a valances edge accentuates the window treatment. This beautiful valance is gathered on a wide decorative drapery rod, a simple drapery panel hangs underneath and is gracefully tied back. The use of two fabrics, a subtle print on the valance and tie back is color coordinated with the solid drapery panel. The choice of fabric color pairs expertly with the wallpaper. The valance and wide tie back are embellished with tassel fringe giving the window treatment interest and depth.
