Buying Guide

The different styles of balloon valance window treatments depend on the type of fabric used and the way that you use the window you’re looking to cover. Named for their bulbous, three-dimensional shape, a balloon valance ensures that your picture windows are framed in the best possible way. Sheer ballon valance window treatments allow for a gauzy, vintage effect; solid window treatments match anything and are easy to repair if needed; and patterned balloon valances will stand out and add tons of personality to your room.

Be sure to give yourself lots of room (and time) to hang balloon valance window treatments.

Start by placing them ring-side-up on the ground, and insert the split plastic rings into the fabric loops. Then, begin to hook the rings together to achieve the bulbous, cinched look for which balloon balances are popular. Once the resulting bunched fabric is as long as you need it to be (hold it up to your curtain rod to be sure), slip the curtain rod through the fabric rod pocket at the top of your curtains. Immediately fluff out the fabric pockets you created for a full, luxurious look.

Balloon valance window treatments can take some time to install and maintain, but they certainly add a lot of personality to statement windows.

They’re perhaps most suited to homes that have a distinct vintage or antique aesthetic, but can look good in farmhouse-chic homes as well. If you don’t have blinds and you like the heavy, formal look that balloon valances can contribute, they’re definitely worth a try.
