Soft treatments are being used to frame but not cover the window. Draperies are relaxed with variations of tab tops for both top treatments and floor length panels. The tailored simplicity of the Chevron Pointed valance is a poplar and cost effective treatment to use when you wish to use the same fabric in the window treatment as used in a sofa or chair. The trend to embellish soft treatments with cording, fringes and trims continues to be popular. Decorative hardware in wrought iron, wood, glass, and brass is being used to allow for the hardware to be featured and not just be used as a supportive devise.
Finials come in traditional, contemporary and whimsical styles.
