Custom Valances in Orlando,
The Finishing Touch at the Top of the Window.

Workroom pricing data puts most custom valances at about $150 to $750 for every 36 inches of width. Flat and box pleat styles sit at the lower end; upholstered cornices and shaped or swag styles sit higher. We measure every window at your free consultation and give you a written quote.

Usually a few inches above the window frame, so the bottom edge just covers the top of the glass and the hardware. Mounted too low, a valance cuts off light and makes the window look shorter. We size it so it hides the headrail without blocking your view.

Yes, and that’s one of the best reasons to add one. We measure the depth of your current shades or blinds and build the valance to clear them, so they still raise, lower and tilt without catching.

Yes. We can use the same fabric as your custom drapery or a coordinating one, and we bring samples to hold against your furniture, pillows and walls in your own light.
