Smocking tape was used for the construction of the top treatment of this balloon valance. The fullness and weight of the valance come from the many vertical pleats and it is hung on a 2.5″ metal continental rod with drapery pins. The bottom edge is adorned with a coordinating fringe. This balloon valance is best used as a stationary treatment to keep the wrinkles at bay once it is raised and lowered.
When planning the color scheme of your home Feng Shui color guides will give you an insight on how they can be used. For example: Did you know that the color yellow helps with creativity, discipline and clarity of your mental activity? It also has warmth, cheerfulness and friendliness. Red is an aggressive color, great in a home office where deals need to be made. Orange stimulates unity and collaboration and it strenghthens your concentration. For a soothing, calming atmosphere use blue/green. Black is an emotional protector and has power. Purple gives you physical and mental healing.
