Where can I find bed valance in heavy fabric?

[Dancergirl]

I am looking for a valance for our bed in a lovely thick fabric, preferably dark red. The sort of things you get in hotels. Tried John Lewis, googling etc but can only find normal cotton ones.

Maybe a heavy linen or velvet....but I want it look like part of the bed rather than just covering it if you see what I mean.

Any ideas?

What do you think about stapling fabric to the base? A long strip round 3 sides. ( unless of course you have drawers , that would make it much more complicated.) Ikea do a bedbase cover...looks like a fitted sheet but might be an idea to copy.

I was given two sets of lovely black/ cream curtains by my mil. i hung one set and used the other set to cover my divan base and make a few cushions. It all looks so hotel like i must say!

And meant to add like trumpton says i just stapled it on, just borrowed a wall stapler from work it wasnt even an upholstery one or anything

I was looking for something similar but in white.

I hate flouncy stuff and found this one here at Zara home
When I looked,the delivery charge was a whopping £29 so it was cheaper to go to Westfield!

Sorry I can't find red so you may have to try foreign websites to find what you're looking for in the desired colour.

La redoute
Are Zara and la redoute the same company then??
