1. Box-pleated valance. This photo illustrates a formal box-pleated valance with corner and center pleats. The fabric valance covers the bar for the matching draperies underneath.Styling tip: This crisp treatment is great for master bedrooms and living rooms when a more formal feel is needed.
I would proposed just a valance (only) in kitchen--with valances at same height as kitchen--but adding long, drapery side panels in Family Room--since they're all visible at the same time.
