How to Install Zebra Blinds Contour Valance on Roller Blinds

Adding a contour zebra print valance to the top of your roller blinds is a stylish way to introduce the exotic zebra pattern while framing the windows beautifully. Installing a contour valance properly ensures your zebra roller blinds function smoothly.

Gather the Right Hardware

You'll need:

Metal valance clips

Valance returns

A drill with bits

Screws

Metal measuring tape

Pencil

Level

Use clips suited for your valance depth. Returns create a wrapped finish.

Measure Precisely

Use the metal measuring tape to determine:

Total width of roller blind hardware

Exact window frame width

Desired valance height

Measure widths across the top, middle and bottom checking they match. Write down all measurements.

Mark Clip Positions

Using your measurements, pencil mark where clips should be installed, evenly spaced across the window frame or mounting surface. Allow for returns on the ends.

Hold clips against the marks to test spacing before marking screw holes.

Secure Clips

Drill guide holes then screws at your marks to firmly attach clips across the width of the window. Ensure clips are completely straight using a level.

Attach Valance

Hook the top of the valance into the clips, draping the fabric to form smooth gathers. Press firmly into each clip to secure the valance.

Conclusion

With careful planning, precise measurement and professional installation, a contour zebra print valance can beautifully top off your roller blinds for showstopping style!
