In simple terms it can be rightly
said that a bed valance that is well fitted proves to be of great help in bed
making. It is basically a type of decorative skirt and is one of the major
components related to bedding. It is
divided into two parts, namely the upper part and lower part. The upper part
will be covering the upper part of the mattress and can be easily pleated
around the corners. The lower part will be covering the lower part of the
mattress. Generally plain fabrics are used for making valances and these are
highly durable. When you wish to buy a valance of premium quality then you
should be very careful about some of the aspects.
Select the right size: You need
to pay attention to the fact that bed comes in various sizes, namely king and
queen size. It means that you will have to select the mattress according to the
size of the bed. It should fit properly and when you plan to buy the valance
you need to be sure about the size of the mattress. This is important so that
you do not end up buying too small or too big valance.

When you are selecting a valance make sure that you consider all the three
sizes before taking the final decision. The different type of designs is listed
