Top Treatments
Top treatments, also known as valances, dress the upper portion of a window, adding softness, beauty, and visual interest. They can stand alone as a decorative feature or be paired with draperies and shades to create a layered, cohesive window treatment. From tailored valances to elaborate swags and structured cornices, we fabricate custom top treatments that complement your design and bring each window to life.
Cornices
Cornices are structured top treatments that create clean lines and architectural definition. Upholstered in your chosen fabric, they provide a tailored finish that complements the room’s design.
We can fabricate several styles of cornices such as straight, pleated or shirred. The bottom shape can include curves, angles. The styles are endless

Embelishments
Decorative trims, contrasting borders, fringe, cording, and other custom details can transform a top treatment into a distinctive design feature. We collaborate with you to determine the best placement and fabrication techniques for each embellishment, ensuring the details complement your selected fabrics and bring your vision to life.
Materials
A beautiful top treatment starts with quality materials. We use sturdy, well-constructed wood for board-mounted treatments and carefully selected linings to support the shape, improve the finished appearance, and help each piece maintain its intended look. Every material is chosen with the design, durability, and overall finish in mind.

We partner closely with interior designers to ensure every drapery panel is fabricated to precise dimensions, completed within the agreed-upon timeframe, and ready for a smooth, seamless installation. Our attention to detail and commitment to communication help make the final reveal a pleasant experience for both you and your client.
