Talking about aesthetics, valances type window curtains have a functional aesthetic. Besides being beautiful with a wavy shape, valances also serve to cover window bars that are less beautiful when visible, especially if the window curtains are piled up. Usually, valances are combined with cascades, so you need to match at least the color of both, preferably if the cascades and valances are made of the same fabric.
In addition to valances, curtain rod covers are usually also in the form of boxes called pelmets. By choosing pelmets instead of valances, you’ve made the room seem more formal. We recommend using pelmets if the window size is wider and taller to make it look dashing and charming.
