Custom Cornices: Handcrafted From American Hardwoods
Does it feel like your windows are missing something? A custom window cornice might be the answer.
At Alva, our upholstered cornices are crafted from American hardwoods and tailored to fit your space like a glove. A cornice is a box-shaped, fabric-wrapped frame that sits above the window—concealing hardware, adding architectural interest, and creating a cohesive look from top to bottom.
Best of all, cornices soften and elevate your space without blocking natural light.
Looking for design details? Ask about nailhead trim, contrast banding, or custom shapes. Our cornices can be designed to match your aesthetic—classic, modern, or somewhere in between.
Modern Valances: Anything But Old-Fashioned
Forget what you know about your grandmother’s swags and jabots. Alva’s modern valances are designed for today’s interiors—clean lines, rich fabrics, and tailored style.
Use a custom valance to introduce color, texture, or subtle pattern to your space. Coordinate your top treatments with throw pillows, drapery, or furniture to create a pulled-together look that feels curated, not overdone.
From sleek pleated styles to softly gathered or tailored silhouettes, our valance styles are as versatile as they are beautiful. Whether you want a bold statement or a subtle accent, we can design the ideal soft window treatment to match your vision.
Need guidance? Our expert team is here to help you choose the right fabric, finish, and proportion for your window.
