Lace Valances, Curtains, Panels And Tiers

It can be very perplexing to design Lace Curtain window coverings. Here, we’ll start with the very basics to keep the things simple. Generally, Lace Curtain suppliers provide many different pieces. Such pieces are used in various combinations to get entirely different looks. These pieces are named like Fan Swags, One Piece Swag, Swag Pairs, Panels, Tiers and Valances. These come in woven delicate lace patterns or strikingly bold Macramé ring lace. You can use different combinations to get your exclusive designs.

Let your imagination work to create your own look.

In its simplest form the design uses together a Lace Valance and a Lace Tier. The picture shown here (see the link below) has a Macramé Ring Lace. But, you can get a similar effect by using any Lace Valance and a Tier. The design has tension rods inside the window casing. The treatment may be extended to use when both, Valance and Tier are fixed on rods which are fixed on the wall outside the window frame. Another creation would be to mount the Valance on the outer mounting rod and the Tier on a tension rod within the jamb. Yet another adaptation allows you to mount the Valance on an outer mount rod with a full length Lace Panel of a pair of Panels on a rod below the Valance rod.



A Swag Pair with a Valance in between and a full length Panel underneath is another way of getting a more formal appearance. In case of a narrower window you may get rid of the in between Valance and use only a Swag pair or a One Piece Swag. (Check the link below). Create a totally different style by using two panels tied back to each side. For getting a Priscilla look, use a second penal beneath the first panel and tie them back to opposite sides.

Use a combination of some of the above ideas to get a more informal look in the den or kitchen area. Try using a Swag Pair with or without a Valance in between and a shorter tier in the window rather than a full length panel underneath.

You will agree that personalized looks attained thru Lace curtains extends a warm and inviting feeling to your home. The story doesn’t end here. Suppose you had a window with a curved top. Here is an easy solution. Bend a metallic rod with the same contour as the window frame and make use of the design we just discussed.



Here’s one more idea. You might have a window over two corners. Here you can give the impression of one window or two separate windows. You can have a separate curtain for each corner or create the impression of one large window by using one of the Swag pair pieces on each of them and Tiers below each window. A flat wall with two adjacent windows may be treated in the same manner.
