My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Curtains over blinds

7 years ago

I have white faux wood blinds with an attached matching faux wood 2.5 inch valance on my 80 inch wide bedroom window. The window is about a foot below the 8 foot celing. I would like to hang linen curtains. If I hang them high at the ceiling, do I leave the valance on the blinds? If so, the valance is below the curtain rod and this might not look . If I remove it, the blinds look unfinished. Thoughts?

    Can you take a picture closer up with the valance removed to show what that looks like? Does your window have molding around it? (It is hard to see with the lighting in your picture).


    Here are some inspo pictures for you to consider:
