The Best Discount Valances
Window valances can cost a pretty penny. If you are not careful you can easily run up a five hundred dollar credit card debt when you order a custom valance for an average sized living room window, and that is too much for the average sized budget, particularly when you consider that this type of window treatment is only one part of the equation, and you will need curtains or blinds too.
You may scour your local area for a suitable valance at a discount but unless you hit lucky and find one in the sales you are likely to be out of luck and have only sore feet to show for your trouble (and am empty wallet because of all the other things you bought in the sales that you were not meant to be looking for).
The best place to search for discount valances by far is on the Internet where you have virtually every style of window treatment on the planet at your disposal. Without moving from your chair, you can easily find the window valances for sale at the cheapest prices as well as those with the best designs. Unfortunately the two are not often the same thing, so if you are looking for discount window valances you may need to compromise a little.

Think about your room and about what would make it look good and then settle for a design, which provides the right effect at the right price. If you are open to considering many different styles, you will often have more luck finding discount window treatments, simply because you will not pass by deals which are different from the fixed picture you would otherwise have in your mind for precisely how your windows should look.
Another idea when you are looking for cheap window valances is to consider creating your own scarf valance as these are relatively easy to make and simple to use to decorate the tops of your windows. You would need to find a suitable fabric, which basically means one that drapes well and matches or complements both your room and your curtains or blinds. Buy a length which is two to three times the width of your windows, plus an allowance for seams. See “How Hang a Scarf Valance” within “Scarf Valance Best Buys and Ideas” which will explain how to measure and style your scarf valance.

Great places to start are at your local flea market or rummage sale. Find tablecloths, tea towels, even, decorative shawls to use as a flowing scarf window valance. Adding a fantastic shawl with an exotic fabric or design can really make your room rich and appealing without much expense. You don’t even have to be a seamstress to create the look. Shawls can be simply draped over a curtain rod, without any sewing at all. If you are using tea towels, you just need to fold one end over to make a small rod pocket. This can be accomplished with a straight stitch on a sewing machine and, if you do not have a sewing machine, hand stitching will also work.

Other unconventional materials you might use in a creative way are old neckties, sheets, or vines and silk flowers. Neck ties really are fun. Simply sew them together, side-by-side, or use fabric glue if you don’t want to sew them. Make a pocket at the top for your rod and you will soon have a fantastically unique window treatment. Sheets can be sewn into an inexpensive valance and vines can be draped carefully over your rod to give you another extraordinary unique look.
