Styles of Kitchen Valances
You don’t want anything too fancy in a kitchen as kitchen window treatments get dirty quite quickly with all the steam and grease in the air. However there are many kitchen valances available which are made in easy care fabrics so that you can easily launder them and have them back up at your windows in no time at all. You do need to avoid formal kitchen window valances, which need a lot of pressing or arranging however, as this will take a lot of effort every time your valances need cleaning.
The usual arrangement for a kitchen window treatment is to have a cafe style curtain along with an inset valance and then two kitchen window swags at either side of the inset valance. These so-called kitchen window tiers frame the window nicely and gives plenty of privacy without blocking out too much light. But this style of kitchen curtains and valances is most suited to country style kitchens rather than contemporary ones. You will see that many of the kitchen curtain sets and valances on sale are in fabrics like lace and gingham and these have a very homely look to them.

In many ways, with a super modern room, you are better using very simple kitchen blinds (either roller or roman style in a plain fabric) and then topping them with a simple valance, either with a tab top or in very straight shape in fabric with a bold design for impact.
You might question whether you need a kitchen window valance at all. Although it is something extra to keep clean, it does add style to your window and if your have ugly curtain rods it covers them a treat! If you are worried about keeping a fabric kitchen valance clean, you could use wooden cornices as kitchen window toppers as these can be painted and then just wiped clean when required.
