Different types of valances and toppers can transform a “blah” window into an “ah” window, and with all the ready-made drapery products available, putting the finishing touches on a window dressingshould be easy. But knowing the kind of window topper you need can be confusing.According to Marilee Nestlee, interior designer and owner of Nestlees Nest, in Sacramento, Callifornia, choosing the right window topper for your dcoris easy once you know thewindow toppernames and their design function within a room.ValancesA valance is a multi-dimensional word that can mean anything from a simple gathered rod-pocket valance placed at the top of a window, to a sophisticated lined material that folds, pleats and drapes over decorative rods and poles.Rod-Pocket ValanceAccording to Nestlee, the easiest and simplest type of window topper is the rod-pocket valance. It is considered the least formal of all window treatments, is loaded onto standard rods or decorator poles and mounted just outside the window casing.“Rod-pocket valances are made of various fabrics,” says Nestlee. “Double-gathered sheer fabric lends to an airy, contemporary design and works as more of an accessory to the rooms overall theme or decor; but stiffer, heavier fabric makes a bolder design statement that often helps anchor the style of the room. “For sheer rod-pocket valances, Nestlee recommends two times the windows width. “The beauty of the gathered valance is in the fullness of the gathers, but for medium-weight fabric, one-and-a-half times the window width is sufficient.”SwagsSwags, sometimes referred to as a Jabot,are typically used for a formal dcor. Vertical swags may be pleated and lined with a contrasting fabric that shows when the pleat is folded back, and are characterized by a drop in the fabric at the sides of the window.AscotsUneven hemlines, often in triangles or soft, rounded edges, characterize the Ascot.It may be trimmed with beads, lace, fringe or any type of trim that coordinates with the dcor.Ascots are usually made from medium-weight fabric and are used in both formal and informal settings. “The triangle-shaped ascot is a popular window topper for kids rooms,” Nestlee says, “and the rounded ascot, when lined and edged with elegant trim, is often used in formal dining rooms.”Sheer ScarfA long, flowing sheer scarf draped across the top of the window is considered an elegant window topper. It is used both as a complement to a bottom drapery, and as a stand-alone window treatment. Scarves draped over decorative rods are usually held in place by finals on the ends of the rod, or looped through slotted corbels that are hung to the outside of the window casing.Tailored ValanceTo mimic the look of a cornice board, Nestlee recommends usinga tailored valance loaded onto a continental curtain rod. The rod should be mounted slighlty wider than the window to allow for installation of bottom curtains. “Its important to measure your window correctly,” says Nestlee. “Tailored valances, used in both formal and casual rooms, look best when stretched taught onto the rod.”Buying AdviceSays Nestlee, “Always purchase valances and window toppers from a store that has a return policy. Sometimes you just have to try them to see if they work within your personal design scheme.”Types of Window ValancesBy Susan Kerr, eHow Contributor I want to do this! Whats This? Now that youve hung your curtains or draperies in that newly decorated room, youve decided the effect isnt quite what you had envisioned. Your window treatments need a little extra pizazz. A valance can provide that extra something special. Choosing the right one for your room is easy if you know what youre shopping for.Valance Factors1. Fabric type, window size, decorating style and light exposure are important elements in selecting the right kind of valance for your windows. Mixing these factors can give your windows vastly different effects. Tailored2. Tailored valances are constructed of one thickness of fabric, hemmed at the bottom and with a rod pocket in the top. This window treatment is usually made of a stiffer fabric that blocks and filters just a bit of light, allowing the remainder to shine through the draperies or curtains underneath. This type of valance works well in more traditional decors but can be used in a modern scheme where a minimalist approach is achieved through use of the valance alone. Balloon3. Balloon valances consist of a layer of fabric doubled over lengthwise, forming an open-ended pocket at the bottom. The top of the valance is then gathered, or shirred, on a curtain rod. The fabric pocket can be stuffed with crumpled tissue paper to add fullness. When stuffed in this manner, the balloon valance gives a more decorative or romantic effect to a rooms windows. Alternately, the valance can remain unstuffed, presenting a more tailored effect in modern or traditional rooms. Swag4. Swag valances are made of one or more lengths of fabric draped over a decorative curtain or valance rod. The ends of the swag can either hang a few inches on either side of the window or can be somewhat longer, reaching perhaps to the middle of the window. These shorter swags are usually made of a more substantial fabric and might have pleats, offering a more formal effect. Scarf5. Scarf valances that are long enough to touch the floor, or even puddle on it, are usually made of a sheer nylon fabric that admits light, provides some privacy and dresses a window in a simple but effective fashion. They are looped and draped over a rod much like a swag but are much more casual in appearance. These are often found in romantic decorating schemes but are increasingly used in modern dcor as well because of their simplicity. Ascot6. Ascot valances have the familiar rod pocket on their tops. A central piece, usually triangular in shape, hangs down in the middle of the window. It is often flanked by longer pieces that hang further down on the window to cover part of the frame. Ascot valances are usually constructed of more substantial fabric than are the other types, allowing various pleating effects. They are very attractive in either contemporary or vintage decorating schemes. 布料英文翻译Sky-blue: 天蓝色lime: 淡黄绿色olive: 橄榄绿jade: 碧玉色poppy: 深红色violet: 紫罗兰色beige: 米白色scarlet: 鲜红golden: 金色navy-blue: 海蓝russet: 赤褐色khaki: 卡其色mustard: 深黄色tan 茶色bottle green: 深绿色cream: 淡黄色maroon: 褐红色royal blue 宝蓝turquoise: 青绿色emerald: 祖母绿peach: 粉红色burgundy： 枣红lemon 柠檬色tangerine: 橘红色apricot: 杏黄色light gray; 浅灰roseate： 深粉红色magenta: 红紫色mauve: 淡紫色lilac: 紫丁香色coffee: 咖啡色buff: 暗黄色aquamarine: 碧绿色yellow: 黄色orange: 橙色crimson: 深红色red: 红色blue 蓝色green 绿色pink: 粉红色purple： 紫色brown: 棕色gray: 灰色white: 白色fuchsia: 紫红色cyan: 青色/蓝绿色材料和配件：thin: 薄thick 厚net pocket/mesh: 网袋briefcase: 公文包waist bag: 腰包foam: 泡棉padded: 垫料panel: 底板/侧板compartment: 间隔层shoulder bags: 肩包strap: 带子handle: 手把puller 拉头grip: 把手Ripstop: 格子布microfiber: 花瑶布420D crinkle nylon 420D的水洗布PE board: PE 板flap: 盖子trolley: 拉杆swatch: 样卡elastic: 松紧带adjustable: 可调节的cardboard: 纸板jean: 牛仔布camouflage: 迷彩色weave label: 织唛stud: 角钉fabric: 布料plastic: 塑
