My voile swag window treatment comes too deep into my window. What can I do about it ?

Problem with my voile swag window treatment



Kathy

I purchased valances that swoop down to put up over my vertical blinds that cover a sliding glass door. When I got them home and started to hang them, I realized that they would come down to far and if you would try to walk out the door they would hit you in the head. Do you have any suggestions? Should I just get new valances? What do you suggest as the best window treatments for veticle blinds and sliding doors? Thank you so much for your help. I have attached a picture of similar valances.

Hi Kathy

I suspect your valance rail is set only 15 to 20 cm over your window. This is very typical for most window top treatments. It just is not right for swags unfortunately.

When hanging swags I usually put the valance rail around 30cm over the window. There is no exact place to fit. It's all about holding your swag over the window until it's in the right position. Then marking the spot with a pencil.

I know it means more work moving your valance rail, but you don't really have any choice with this kind of top treatment. I think moving the rail is a lot more cost effective than getting a new valance.

Best wishes and I think they will look great when you're finished.
