They don’t block out light, hang just below the top of your window and can be customized to fit any style or décor. When layering they are perfect along with heavy drapes or sheers.
Not only do they create the right ambiance, they are incredibly useful for many other reasons.
- They are great for concealing ugly hardware. You can still open your curtains without exposing the rod.
- You may love the material of your curtains or the color but the headings may not appeal to you at all. You can get around settling for something else by hiding the headings with a valance. Pick out a similar style and add some real depth to your curtains.
