So, you'll be adding the second valance to the window? I don't see a lot of room around your window for another treatment, narrow scarves usually end up looking too skimpy. I'd consider replacing your current rod with a longer decorative rod and hanging the valances a little outside the trim.

NO valance at all. Replace the dated mini blinds with a shutter, tilt the blades for light and privacy. Nothing else is necessary. In other words? Fall out of love with that valance : )

Deegw, that’s a great suggestion! Now that you pointed it out there might not be enough room for the second pair. I’m getting faux blinds and adding a new rod, would you leave it as is or add a tier curtain?

thank you!

Thank you Jan, I like the bathroom photos you sent! I am replacing the mini blinds most likely with faux blinds as those are the ones I have around my house but ill look into shutters.

aww fall out of love no way lol! maybe in a week or so.. I know this type of valance is not as commonly used maybe even outdated but so is my bathroom, I dont want the modern plain look, the valance kinda gave it a romantic look,i hate the wrinkly part but like the crystals and v shape. it was cheap just want to work with it for now till I decide to take it down lol.

IMO no to the valance for sure it in no way works in that space color wise or frome what I see style wise.

Good for you, annievibes, stick with what makes you happy.

You asked about something on bottom — imo, I’d just do a valance. I think anything else might be too much going on. But you could certainly try it and see.

This is what I want so bad for my guest bath, it reminds me a bit of yours:

Thank you Patricia! Eventually I will take it down but want to work with it for now at least until I get some new blinds.

Thank you Jinx! I think I may just stick to adding nothing at the bottom, my bathroom is quite small and you're right it may be too much.

The bathroom is pretty outdated, I live in a 1950's house that was kept it's original look as you can see from the medicine cabinet, when I bought the house it had the same shutters in the photo you sent me all around the house, they were nice but I took them down since they were worn out . Eventually I am going to redo the whole bathroom for remodeling but for now I just want to make it look somewhat nice for holidays. I know the photos make the valance look terrible but it's a different vibe in person lol.

I think the photo you sent me is gorgeous! I wish I had that view when I open my bathroom windows, unfortunately it's never opened because it points to my neighbors.

Very dated and crooked. I would replace it.

Adding more fabric to a bathroom instead of smooth surfaces always makes my skin crawl a little, haha. I would focus on "less is more" and remove the valance. Maybe update the blinds and reevaluate from there.

I might like it more if it weren't see-through! If it were pink, I could see it in a tween's bedroom. You'll get over it eventually, so come back to this post when you decide you are.

I totally agree with Jan, but admire your loyalty to what you love!

Your taste is a bit more ornate than most would use in a bathroom (doilie on the back of the toilet, and crystal adorned valence) . But do what you love. I think that style valance requires 2 or 3 tiers scrunched together to work best. I would not put anything on the lower portion of the window. You might try a wider wraparound rod, and add a second valance and see if that helps.

You mentioned you wanted to compliment bathroom and also for it to feel romantic, but the fabric, beads, curtain and blind are overwhelming the small bathroom instead of being complimentary.

I bought a white Roman blind at IKEA (there are two sizes available) for my daughter’s room for $29 and it comes with rings/hooks that are easily hooked into window frame. Below is an IKEA hack idea you could look for a pretty floral fabric and layer onto blind, per the instructions. This feels much prettier in its simplicity. You can leave partially open with your blind behind or use alone at full length.

Thank you guys appreciate all feedback! this is my first time ever adding a valance so I am new to decorating so I do appreciate all input :) I also don’t like the fact that it’s see through either way lets see what I do once I add the new blinds which I will be getting this week, ill be back thanks again all!
