About Cornices and Valances
The finishing touch at the top of the window
A cornice is a wood box covered in fabric. A valance is a soft fabric topper. Both finish the top of the window, hide headrails and bring in color and pattern without covering the glass.
We build cornices and valances to match your shades, blinds and drapery, with shapes and trims that suit your room.

How It Works
What Goes Into Cornices and Valances
Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.

Hard or soft
Cornice or Valance
A cornice has clean, structured lines. A valance is soft with gentle folds or pleats. We help you choose.

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.


Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical homes, rooms and windows, not completed Music City Blinds projects. Every window is measured and confirmed with a visit before treatments are made, and fabrics, colors and options depend on the manufacturer. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Do cornices block light?
They sit above the window and hide the headrail. They do not replace a shade or blind.
Can you match my drapery?
Yes. We can use the same fabric or a complementary one.
Can a cornice go on any window?
Most windows work. We check clearances when we measure.
