I'm looking for a no-frills valance to dress up my new divan bed


?I NEED a valance for our new divan bed but I'm not keen on those frilly skirts. What's the alternative? - Lorraine Mason, Stoke-on- Trent, Staffs ZENA SAYS: A flat valance is a much classier look and there are many to choose from depending on the colour and style of your headboard, duvet cover and general decor.


Expect to pay about pounds 12 for a double from Next (www.next.co.uk, 0844 844 8000). They have a range of colours from bright pink to navy blue. At the luxury end of the scale, you could try Dorma's beautiful new Crystal Heather range - pounds 39.99 for a double - but it's not available until next year. Their plain dye white platform valance sheet is made from 100 per cent combed Egyptian cotton Percale from pounds 28. For stockist details see www.dorma.co.uk or call 0844 9800 011
