Simple Solutions in Window Treatments - geometry on an inverted pleat valance

These custom inverted pleat valances in a Fairfax Station home show beautiful pattern placement, which is a hallmark of custom window treatments. The valances include a geometric tone on tone print, a contrast cording at the top edge of the board they are mounted upon, and a small wrapped bead at the top of each pleat to add some dimension. The fabric selected for these valances includes a light gray, which is also found in the sofa, and warmer tones found in the rug and a side chair. The straight hem allows for maximum view and light in this Fairfax Station, VA home. The valances are installed above the windows, making the windows appear taller than they are, and adding height to the room. Design and photograph by Linda H.
