Board Mounted Valance

Board mounted valance

A board mounted valance can come in a wide variety of styles. They have the ability to feature certain fabric motifs, add shape to a hem and real drama to a room. Board mounted valances can be used alone or as an over treatment to formalize a space. Different styles have softly gathered swags or tailored pleats.
