Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pines Guesthouse in Keswick, Lake District, was looking to modernise its 12 bedrooms without undertaking a full refurbishment. Their existing divan bases were in good condition but looked dated, and their old valances were a mixture of styles and colours.
"We needed a uniform, professional look that was also practical. Our laundry is done in-house, so easy-care was non-negotiable. These turquoise valances have completely lifted the rooms, and our housekeeper is thrilled with how little ironing they need."
Robert Davies – Owner
By standardising with the Mitre Essentials valance, The Pines achieved a fresh, modern aesthetic and reported a 20% reduction in linen processing time per room.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For a perfect fit, start by removing the mattress from the bed base.
- Place the valance over the base, aligning the kick pleats with the four corners.
- Smooth out the fabric across the top of the base to ensure there are no wrinkles.
- Carefully place the mattress back on top, and you're done!
Keeping It Going
- Always wash with similar colours to maintain the vibrant turquoise shade.
- Use a standard commercial detergent. Avoid using excessive bleach which can weaken fibres over time.
- Can be tumble-dried on a low-to-medium heat setting for a quick turnaround.
- The polycotton blend requires minimal ironing, but a quick press will give it an extra-crisp finish.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhat's the Big Deal About a 'Kick Pleat'?
Ever noticed how some valances bunch up awkwardly at the corners of a bed, looking messy and untucked? The kick pleat is the simple, clever solution to that exact problem. It’s a small, inverted pleat sewn into each corner of the valance.
Think of it like the vents on the back of a smart jacket. They allow the fabric to move and sit properly when you do, preventing it from pulling or looking strained. A kick pleat does the same for your bed. It allows the valance fabric to drape cleanly down and around the corner of the divan base, creating a much sharper, more tailored, and intentional finish. It's a small detail that separates professional-looking linen from the rest.
Who Should Buy This?
- Care Homes & Hospices: An ideal kick pleat valance for care homes wanting a cheerful, homely, and incredibly durable linen solution.
- Independent Hotels & B&Bs: A cost-effective way to refresh guest rooms and create a smart, coordinated look that guests will notice.
- Student Accommodation: Perfect for protecting bed bases and adding a splash of robust colour in high-traffic student housing.
- Private Clinics & Hospitals: The perfect commercial hospital bed valance for maintaining a clean, professional, and welcoming patient environment.
