Valances: Your New Secret Weapon for Bedroom Styling

We are over the moon that the trusty valance is having a style revival. That’s right, these are the bedding accessory of the moment. These beauties might be the secret ingredient to take your bedroom from ‘meh’ to marvellous in no time. At the Secret Linen Store, we’re huge fans of valances because they’re versatile, stylish, and incredibly practical. Let’s explore how adding one can brighten up your space and keep everything tidy underneath…

So, your bed is dressed in beautiful Secret Linen Store bedding and is looking truly fantastic, but that big storage base is exposed and a bit of an eyesore. Enter the valance. They are like a perfectly tailored outfit for your bed, instantly transforming it with a layer of elegant style. They come in a range of styles to match your vibe, whether you’re aiming for organic and earthy, timeless sophistication, or a striped surprise.

A White 100% linen valance creates a classic and crisp look, while our Cobalt Cora 100% Linen Valance brings a fresh, coastal feel to your room. Love natural tones, we love our Natural, Olive Green & Cream valances. Mix or match them with your existing bed linen to create a vibe that’s totally ‘you.’

Let’s be honest, we all love a good storage hack. But sometimes, the area under the bed starts looking more like a chaotic jumble of boxes than a clever storage solution. A valance can swoop in and hide the whole shebang, so no one will ever know what’s lurking under there.

Our valances are designed to drape perfectly over the bed frame and hang just right on divan beds, but they can cover some open frames too – they’re long enough to cover whatever’s underneath but not so long that you trip on the ends. It’s all about a neat and tidy finish that’ll keep your secret stash of extra blankets, suitcases, or holiday decorations tucked away and out of sight.

Valances aren’t just for hiding stuff (although, let’s admit it, they’re experts at it). They also let you change up the look of your bedroom whenever the mood strikes. A light linen valance can add an airy, breezy feel to your room in summer, while a warmer-toned option can make things feel snug in winter. Swapping valances as the seasons change is an easy way to refresh your space without breaking the bank.

We’re incredibly proud of our products and want the joy they bring to last and last. Our valances are made from high-quality 100% linen and twill cotton linen, designed to withstand everyday life without losing their charm. They’re also super easy to care for – just pop them in the washing machine, give them a quick iron (if you’re feeling fancy), and they’ll be looking fresh in no time. Check our care guides here for more washing help.

So, whether you’re styling up your bedroom for guests, hiding a few storage sins, or just want a new look, valances are the unsung heroes you didn’t know you needed. They’re here to add a little bit of extra magic to your bedroom.

Explore our collection of valances and find one that suits your style. We’re sure you’ll fall in love with them just like we have. And remember, we're always here to help with any questions or tips. Let's make your bedroom the cosiest room in the house.
