Valances, cornices, pelmets are just some window treatment ideas to consider when looking at window covering design. Use a cornice or valance above a blind, shade or shutter to make the window look larger or become a stunning focal point in the room. Custom valances, cornice or pelmets can be made of a wide range of designer fabrics not found in home decor stores that will make your window covering one of a kind. Note in this example, affordable aluminum blinds combined with this large fabric valance turns this ordinary window treatment into a spectacular one in this living room. The custom throw pillows made of the same fabric is a great ideas.
