Pelmets, Valances and LambrequinsDress Your Windows in Style: Custom-Made Pelmets, Valances & Lambrequins
Made to Measure Finishing Touches, Locally Handcrafted in Our Cheshire Workroom
Transform your windows from ordinary to extraordinary with our exquisite selection of custom-made pelmets, valances, and lambrequins. These decorative window treatments add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room, while giving your curtains a polished, professional finish.
When it comes to these decorative treatments, there are three main types:
- Pelmets — refers to either a structured, upholstered box that conceals your curtain track, or a softer fabric treatment that drapes gently above your curtains (also known as valances). Whichever style you choose, pelmets frame your window beautifully and hides the workings behind it.
- Valances — a softer, more relaxed alternative, valances are made from a soft frame, and gather or pleat elegantly above your curtains, adding warmth and personality without feeling formal.
- Lambrequins — a lambrequin extends down the sides of the window, sometimes reaching the sill or even the floor, framing the whole window rather than just the top. A particularly striking choice for period properties
