Cornice Boxes or Valances?

Both Cornice Boxes and Valances finish a window by concealing drapery, blind or window shade hardware. While cornice boxes are typically more formal – and valances are somewhat more casual – the wide variety of styles and fabrics we offer for both make them suitable for almost any décor. Our Westlake Village clients utilize both cornice boxes and fabric valances to add eye appeal to their window treatments!

Cornice Boxes – Westlake Village Drapery, Drapes, Draperies

Cornice boxes are elegant yet simple top window treatments that add a finished look to your draperies, blinds or window shades. With hundreds of different fabrics and custom box shapes, cornice boxes can be created to complement any style.

Cornice boxes consist of a flexible padded wood frame that can be curved and soft – or sharp and crisp – in style. A simple square bottom cornice box can suit a modern design scheme, while a more elaborately detailed cornice box can be the perfect addition to a more traditional interior decorating style.

Light padding on the cornice box gives a contemporary feel that matches the clean lines of blinds and shades – while a heavily padded cornice box lends itself to more formal drapery.

Fabric Valances – Westlake Village Drapery, Drapes, Draperies

Another stunning option for covering the top part of your window’s drapery or blind hardware is the fabric valance.

Though typically less formal than cornice boxes, the wide variety of valance fabrics that we offer run the gamut from casual to elegant. Cheerful gingham or floral print fabrics are favorites for kitchen window valances – and look lovely over both blinds, shades, shutters and drapery. Valances featuring primary or pastel colors – and/or stripes or polka dots – add a sense of fun and whimsy to a child’s bedroom. The possibilities are endless!

Additionally, different pleats, grommets, edge styles and trims, allow you to further customize your valance to match any décor.

Wood Valances – Westlake Village Drapery, Drapes, Draperies

Wood valances are a newer trend sweeping the Westlake Village area. Gorgeous hardwood adds elegance to the top of any blind, shade or drapery while concealing rods and hardware.

Although wood valances may be a slightly more expensive option – they more than pay for themselves in durability and longevity. In fact, your wood valances will often last longer than your windows will! And wood valances can be easily cleaned by simply dusting and occasional polishing – without the need for dry cleaning.

In addition to being easy to maintain – wood valances are also more “allergy free” than fabric cornice boxes or fabric valances!
