How do you calculate yardage for a valance?

Divide the cut fabric width by the width of the chosen fabric for the number of widths required. Multiply that number by the cut fabric length. Divide the result by 36 for the number of yards of fabric required for a self-lined gathered valance.

How many inches should a valance be?

Another rule of thumb used by decorators is that the window valance depth should be 1/4 of the overall window height, plus 1 inch. A 60-inch tall window, then, would call for a 16-inch deep valance, while a 48-inch window calls for a valance about 13 inches deep.

What sizes do valances come in?
