Sweet Update in an Historic District

After installation of the new custom valance, the Victorian Living Room feels more balanced, cozier, and more updated. A large custom valance is an updated variation on the old swag valances, with few folds, a center pleat, and cascade sides, over the Hunter Douglas Silhouettes at the window. The smaller scale pattern defers to the floral of the sofa, but is interesting when you can consider it. A contrast blue lining, and the blush pink patterned fabric, are strong enough to work with more assertive aspects of the room. Details, such as the buttons at the top of the pleats, the contrast cording at the top of the valance, and the crystal bead trim, are perfect for a traditional client, who is nourished by the complexity of detail in a space..
