In case your kitchen has worn out wooden slat type blinds, venetian blinds or tired looking like curtains, then you have the option of either fitting a beautiful colorful kitchen valance or replacing them. Most homeowners understand that by just hanging a colorful valance from the top of their kitchen window, the general ambiance and more elegant look of the kitchen can be achieved at just a little expense. Before you make up your mind to visit the nearest store that specializes in curtains to buy a kitchen valance, it is important that you first take note of the current décor in your kitchen such as the colors of the tiles, bench, walls and cupboards. This is good as you will have to make sure that whatever you purchase matches with the existing kitchen’s color scheme.


You can buy bargain valances from any department store that deals with window treatments or you can also use the internet to see many choices. As with most design styles, you have the option of either causal or formal type valances. It is also advisable to ensure that the fabric is both washable and lightweight when selecting a fabric for the kitchen valances. In case your kitchen is a traditional style, chose a 2-piece valance since this will allow you to search for colors and fabrics to suit you personally. You may also like to opt for a café style curtain instead of fitting a kitchen valance. This covers the bottom half of the window and offers you with more privacy while you are cooking or working in the kitchen.
