It’s bowing here so I wanted a valance for my dark bathroom to give it some color. I love how bright the colors are in this valance. I really like the fact that it’s long enough to fit my bathroom window or any other small window in my house. This is a blackout valance. The quality and feel is thick and does the job well. My honest opinion..I would recommend this valance to anyone that’s looking for something to decorate a small window in their home.
