These family room pictures show actual results from our no sew cornice kits. Click on the individual picture of interest or hit the yellow arrow and they will play automatically.  Either way you will get some great ideas for interesting window treatments. Slider windows seem to be the popular item in many family rooms including my own.

Slider windows present a bit of an extraordinary design challenge. Homes built in the last 5 years generally have that extra wide size. Earlier vintage homes have sliders at 72” or narrower. Either way there is a huge amount of window space to balance with a cornice. Because of this we recommend using at least the 12” high cornice boards.

The 9” high cornice boards should only be used if the slider is narrow, wall bends are near and/or the ceiling is low. Of course, having said that. . . Marilyn’s slider (the last two pictures in this section) uses a 6” high cornice board (must call to order this). In addition to being narrow, the walls were short on either side with an eyelight window above—very unique!

Again they run the gamut of materials, both expense and inexpensive, as in the case of mine, I even used some that was only $1.99 /yd!

The addition of accessories can add to your design but I particularly like the bold strips, even black and white looks stunning.  Should you later change the floors, paint the walls, or get new furniture, you will never lose your original investment.  The Window Bonnets no sew cornice boards can simply be popped off the brackets, the fabric removed and new fabric and accessories tucked into the grooves.  WhaLa! You have a new cornice for just pennies.

An additional plus with these cornice boards also comes should you sell your home. Your new buyer does not have to “settle” for what you liked, they will be able to easily redecorate for their colors and style—a selling plus if ever I saw one!

Truly, our no sew cornice kits are the most unique innovations for window treatment ideas that has come along in years. Beautiful cornices are available for pennies compared to the older wood ones. Now go measure that family room window and place your order. If you try one, you will likely end up with several more before it is over with.
