5. Valance Curtains
Valances are short decorative panels that sit at the top of a window, adding charm and softness without covering the entire window. DIY valances are easy to make and versatile in style.
To make a valance:
- Measure the width of your window.
- Cut a piece of fabric slightly wider than the window.
- Hem the edges or use iron-on hem tape for a no-sew option.
- Attach to a rod or board and hang at the top of the window.
Valances can be paired with blinds, shades, or full-length curtains. They are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or smaller windows where full curtains may be overwhelming.
