Pelmets are framework fixtures that are used to help hide the appearance of curtain rods. Basic curtain tracks can be unsightly and distracting. Pelmets and valances are used to cover these areas and extend your curtain design in a seamless finish. Upholstered pelmets give height and definition to your window and will complement your curtains and room. Pelmets can be straight edged or shaped to give interest. Braids or other trims can finish the bottom edge of a pelmet.
Proportions are important when adding a valance to your curtains. Various shapes can enhance the final effect. Valances can also give the illusion of making windows look taller than they really are, which creates the appearance of a larger, more lively space.
