How to Install Curtain Valances

Curtain valances come in a variety of materials, colors, and styles. Choose one that will complement your home décor and the curtains that you will be using.

Step 2: Measure the Window

Measure the width of the window and add 2-4 inches to the measurement. This will allow the valance to be gathered to the desired size. Measure the distance from the top of the window to the desired location of the valance.

Step 3: Cut the Valance

If the valance is too long, you can cut it to the desired size. Use a sharp pair of scissors or a rotary cutter to make a straight line cut.

Step 4: Hem the Valance

If the valance is not finished, you will need to hem the edges. To do this, fold the raw edge of the fabric under twice and sew it in place.

Step 5: Attach the Valance to the Window

There are several ways to attach a valance to the window. One popular method is to use a tension rod. To do this, simply insert the rod into the casing at the top of the valance and then twist it to tighten. You can also use curtain hooks or rings to attach the valance to the window frame.

Step 6: Add Finishing Touches

You can add finishing touches to your valance by adding trim or ribbon to the edges. You can also add buttons or other decorative elements.
