Kim Freeman's project, featured recently in several posts, included faux Roman valances over the solar shading. After pictures of earlier faux Romans helped clarify the treatment, we sent along a mini mockup out of the actual fabric. The fabric was a wide horizontal stripe sheer linen, so the folds alternated which section of the stripe showed.
Tiny wood bead trim defined the lower edge, and a short flap at the top eliminates any gap between the fabric and the window.
The flat back mockup used a skinny strip of the customer's chosen fabric. It's so tiny because we needed mockups that would fit into a pocketbook!
A piece of fabric taped to the window helped determine the finished length.
We wanted the valance to look more like an actual shade that was pulled up, more like this-
and less like this soft fold valance-
and not at all like this upholstered version- although all three are called "faux romans."
