Bedroom Valance Ideas
Stenciled Sign
1/16
Instead of topping her kitchen window with a traditional valance, Mary from At Home on the Bay used a salvaged wood board with a stenciled design, created by Lemonade Makin' Mama. The rustic valance lets light flood the room but doesn't look too sparse. Plus, the cheery message and bright colors could provide much-needed encouragement to tackle those dirty dishes!

Rustic Privacy Screen
2/16

Frosted Glass Design
3/16
Frosted glass provides exceptional privacy, but it completely blocks the view of the outdoors. With some low-tack tape and frosted glass spray paint, however, you can create a custom pattern that shields your home a bit from prying eyes but still lets in light. Plus, a frosted design doubles as a decorative element, as demonstrated by this playfully geometric pattern from A Beautiful Mess.

Stained glass adds a pop of color to any room, and it filters light in a lovely, unique way when used as a window treatment. Take a cue from the bloggers behind A Beautiful Mess and create your own custom stained-glass panel. The project requires just a piece of glass, some lead adhesive strips, and glass paint—all available at your local craft store.

Glass Window Shelves
7/16
Some windows—such as the tiny ones often set above a kitchen sink—don't require full coverage. For these windows, homeowners can choose to install a set of glass shelves instead of curtains. This approach lets them satisfy privacy needs while simultaneously showcasing decorative accessories, a collection of herbs, or whatever else strikes their fancy. Brittany from Pretty Handy Girl chose to liven up her shelves with an assortment of greenery.
