How to Measure for Murphy Valance

Measure the Window Width

Measure the width of your window at the top, middle, and bottom of the window frame. Use the widest measurement in inches for the valance width.

Measure the Valance Length

Measure from the top of the rod to where you want the valance to end, typically 12–18 inches. Adjust the length as needed for your preferred style.

Additional Length for Side Panels (Optional)

If you're adding side panels, measure how far you'd like the fabric to extend on each side of the window. Add 2–6 inches on each side for a balanced look.

Determine the Rod Placement

If the rod isn’t installed, place it 4–6 inches above the window frame for a standard look, or higher for more drama, but remember to adjust length of valance accordingly.

Tip: Double-check your measurements in width by height (W x H) format to ensure accuracy.

Outstanding Service and Quality—A Lifesaver After Our Fire!

Excellent!!! The people here are so helpful and knowledgeable. We had a terrible fire and they helped us re-upholster what was left. Amazingly, old pieces now look great. They also have a large selection of fabrics that are better priced than any store we visited. Our items were also ready before expected which we are so grateful for as we really needed these pieces.

The entire experience with The Fabric Mill was great

I had always admired my Gram's chaise lounge, but after many years, the chaise was no longer usable and needed repair/reupholstering. The entire experience with The Fabric Mill was great. High touch, professional service. The before and after photos really speak for themselves.

Beautiful fabric and convenient swatch ordering

The embroidered fabric I chose for the bathroom valance and shower curtain was lovely. It helps that you can order generous sized fabric swatches for just $1 a piece to be sure the fabric is just what you want!
