A cool Cornice!Two fabrics were chosen for the dual-shaped cornice, in a banking facility.
The window needed cover, as the sun was a glare problem so this was chosen for its' 21st C. appeal: the fabrics just make this treatment shine. The stripe is raised and has visible texture; the coordinating fabric was chosen for the way it let the stripe have the show!

Hiding the shades, enjoy the view.The view outside this window is too pretty to be covered, but shades were needed to cut solar heat gain and glare, so it was decided to install the wonderful SolarWeave shades, hide the mounting spots, and leave the view to be enjoyed!
These are asymmetrically shaped Banner valances, stretched to cover this wide window. They are constructed of two coordinated earth toned fabrics, and are edge welted to finish.
These treatments are reversible.

Close-up of detailsThis Banner valance hangs from a painted wood rod, which has a special decorative 'finial' (rod end) added for a custom look. A bit of trim was also added to soften the straight lines of the valance itself.

'Imperial' valance.This elegant valance is suspended from a large diameter rod, which is painted almost black, and has decorative finials at the rod ends for finish.
This valance shows flat sections separated by fabric 'bells', which are lined with contrasting fabric. All edges are welted with trimming for a custom look.
Note the way this treatment conceals the tops of the shades behind it!

Inside the 'Bell' detail..This is a detail shot of the interior of the 'Imperial' valance Bell. The clapper is made from the same decorative trim that the edge of the valance is welted with!

|
A wider view..Note that this window was finished at the sides with beautiful full length panels, created of silk.

Very Fanciful!This large window is a focal point in this room and had to be just so.
To gain a little dimension, we went upward with the center swag, then dropped down to the sides of the window to treat the remainder with more swags, in the 'open' style.
Note the laminated roller shades beneath all - raw silk.

Banner valanceThis Banner valance require 2 fabrics to work well - one for both front and lining.
The gentle shaped point adds dimension to an otherwise simple design, and the complete leading edge is outlined with an added trimming.
The jabots are not typical of this treatment, but finish this one, which is in a beautiful home setting, with appropriate gravity.

Have it both ways here...The homeowner asked that this window let the light in, yet afford privacy, insulation and darkness when wanted.
These draperies can traverse across the window if the need arises, and the off-white SheerWeave roller shade can be lowered to cut glare and keep the heat of the Sun out.
The shaped and pleated valance covers it all in a happy print!
|
|
Just a small touch..This gathered, shaped valance is pleated at center, for a little sway and fullness; the large button is covered with the same stuff that lines the pleat. It also shows that the homeowner was paying attention to the details - he requested thistouch and loved it.

In the Board Room.This simple elegant is in a Boardroom, which asked for a businesslike and refined look.
The center shape is a French Curve style, with side portions that underlay to the sides to finish this treatment.
It is trimmed at the edge with contrast welting, and there are sheer panels drawn back at the sides.
A double honeycomb shade is installed here as well for sun control, privacy and sound deadening.

Funky!This 'Banner' valance used two very different fabrics used in reverse, and it worked.
The triangular Banner portions are all edged with thin strips of the 'other' material, leading each section of valance seamlessly from one to the next. Lots of fun!
