Cornice Boxes & Valances
The best way to add one last touch of elegance to your drapery is the addition of a valance or cornice box.
Valances can be crafted from fabric or wood, and clients are free to select any pleat, style, trim, or type of wood they like for the finished look – Rita can incorporate any and all preferences you have into her design. Alternatively, cornice boxes are padded wood frames that come in any desired shape and color, whether you prefer something soft and curved or sharp and dynamic. These drapery additions will enhance the room’s current style without drawing too much unnecessary attention.
