Hang you window treatment up at or near the ceiling. Not only will this give you the most daylight coming in but it will also give the illusion of taller windows. This tailored balloon valance did just that.

We used a gorgeous striped silk fabric to make this tailored balloon. You will find lots of fullness in each pleat for that rich custom look.
Some very soothing colors were chosen for this beautiful sun room and we were able to warm-up the room with these button back pleated valances. Notice the detail of the contrast striped color in the pleats as well as the covered buttons and the piping along to top edge. The striped table cloth has a 4″ border of the valance fabric and the chair pads have some lovely detail tying in the whole room. We were able to use some scraps of fabric to come up with some unique pillows for the room. In no time at all, the room went from cold to cozy.
Need a pattern, create your own stripe like we did here with this roman shade adding blue stripes into the solid off-white fabric. . .
Don’t keep your windows bare, These panels shirred on the rod have a contrast band on the inside edge,
