Baby Nursery Window Valance Ideas in Many Colors and Styles

Use our window valance ideas to find the perfect window valances that will put the finishing touch on your kids rooms or a baby boy or girl’s nursery. Why would we want to find a pattern and learn to sew valances rather than jump right in and make our own drapes and curtains?



Because the sheer amount of fabric involved in sewing your own drapery panels can be intimidating where a cute valance will only take a yard or two of curtain fabric which makes them the ultimate in beginner sewing projects. Even if you make an error or get the measurements wrong, all you’ve wasted is a little time and a couple of dollars.



BABY BOY VALANCES
Window treatments for boys provide the perfect opportunity to use tailored, box pleated patterns that have been personalized with a center medallion of monogrammed initials and cording.

Valances with stripes are also very popular in baby boys' rooms. The addition of a button-tab,box pleats or piped trim is a great way to add interest to these "easy-to-make yourself" window treatments.




If you are just learning how to sew, a plain, gathered design is appropriate but make up for the gathers by leaving the hem plain and by using substantial kids curtain rods and drapery hardware to give the window treatment a masculine look.




BABY GIRL WINDOW VALANCE IDEAS
Traditional styles for girls are lacy, light and airy. Lacy fabrics and light colors are most popular but occasionally an adventurous decorator who leans toward personalized baby nursery ideas may have a preference for bright colors, elegant damask patterns or toile.



BABY VALANCE FABRIC
Beyond matching your curtain fabric to your baby’s nursery color scheme and decor, you will want to choose a fabric that will work with your sewing pattern. For instance a thick, heavy fabric is simply not suitable for a frilly, ruffled style valance and a tailored valance made from sheer fabric will be easy to sew nor will it look as nice as if you had used a fabric that could pressed to display those pleats that you learned how to make to full advantage.

VALANCE STYLES
When looking for window valance ideas, you will quickly see there are many, MANY valance styles. There are:

  • Scarf Valances
  • Swag Valances
  • Country Style Valances
  • Tailored Box Pleat valances
  • Gathered Ruffled Valances
  • Balloon Valances
  • Ascot Valances
  • Scalloped Valances
  • Tab Valances

and that’s just to name a few different styles of valances that you might consider.

HOW TO MAKE A VALANCE
If you want to sew your own window treatments, there are many window valance patterns online or you can buy a sewing pattern that usually has more than one style. Even if you use one of the free online patterns, you can get lots of window valance ideas by taking a look to see what Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls and Vogue have for sale.

PASSING IT FORWARD
I hope that when all is done, the nursery decorated and the window treatments are hung that you will stop back by and share your window valance ideas and some pictures!
