If you are tired of looking at your drab kitchen curtains or aging pull-down blinds then replacing them with a colorful trendy kitchen valance may be the answer and a good option for many homeowners.

Because a kitchen valance basically only covers the top third of the window, it does not require much fabric so is generally inexpensive to make and install, although that would depend on the quality of fabric, whether it was made to measure or was the less expensive ready-made option.

The first step is to decide whether you are going to retain your existing color scheme in the kitchen. For example, if you intend to redecorate by painting the kitchen walls a different color then that will have a bearing on what color fabric you choose. Whatever you decide It is important to make the color of the fabric you choose does not clash with the existing or proposed kitchen décor.

These days, consumers can have stylish kitchen valances tailor made-to-order in an elegant fabric from classy silks to beautiful satins and laces, polyester, gingham and jacquard materials. With a wide variety of trendy colors, patterns, stripes, prints and checks to select from, a new classy valance will give any kitchen a bright and fresh look when fitted.

If you only want a very basic valance and not all that concerned about the quality of fabric, then you also have the option of buying a ready-made valance. Most curtain retailers and some of the large furniture stores stock ready-made valances in a multitude of modern colors and styles.

Because kitchen valances in some kitchens are fitted to the top part of a window, they may not provide sufficient privacy for the homeowner. In this type of situation, a café style curtain that is designed to cover only the bottom half of the window may be a better option.

Lastly, some people may find it difficult or don’t have the time to visit a curtain store or may prefer to seek out the advice of an interior decorator or curtain specialist. In this regard, a mobile curtain supplier (if available in the area you reside) may be able to assist, although this service may be more expensive. Some of these mobile services generally have a wide selection of fabric samples and material for consumers to view. They also provide free quotes (confirm first) and can measure, supply and install the completed product which can be very convenient for many busy homeowners.
