Valance assembly and related coverings for an architectural structure

A valance assembly for at least partially concealing a headrail of a covering for an architectural structure, the valance assembly comprising:

• a valance body extending in a lateral direction between a first lateral end and an opposed second lateral end;
• first and second endcaps configured to support the first and second lateral ends, respectively, of the valance body, each of the first and second endcaps comprising an end wall and a front wall extending outwardly from the end wall;
• and
• first and second end brackets configured to be coupled to the first endcap and the second endcap, respectively, each end bracket including a plurality of bracket walls extending outwardly from a base wall of the end bracket in the lateral direction;
• wherein:
• a valance retention channel is defined relative to the front wall of each of the first and second endcaps that is configured to receive a respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the valance body;
• and
• the valance body is configured the same as one or more of a plurality of slats of the covering relative to which the valance assembly is configured to be installed.

A valance assembly for at least partially concealing a headrail of a covering for an architectural structure, the valance assembly comprising:

• a valance body extending in a lateral direction between a first lateral end and an opposed second lateral end;
• first and second valance mounts configured to support first and second lateral ends, respectively, of a headrail of a covering, the first and second valance mounts being further configured to support the first and second lateral ends, respectively, of the valance body relative to the headrail, each of the first and second valance mounts comprising:
• an endcap including an end wall and a front wall extending outwardly from the end wall, the endcap defining a valance retention channel relative to the front wall of the endcap that is configured to receive a respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the valance body;
• and
• a plurality of bracket walls extending outwardly relative to the end wall of the endcap in the lateral direction, a first bracket wall of the plurality of bracket walls forming a shelf on which a respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the headrail is configured to rest to allow the respective valance mount to support the respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the headrail,
• wherein:
• one bracket wall of the plurality of bracket walls is defined by a bracket door that is pivotable relative to the other of the plurality of bracket walls between an opened position, at which the respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the headrail can be inserted into a respective one of the first and second valance mounts, and a closed position, at which the bracket door prevents the respective one of the first and second lateral ends of the headrail from being inserted into the respective one of the first and second valance mounts;
• the endcap comprises a spacer extending outwardly from the end wall of the endcap in the lateral direction, the spacer configured to offset the bracket door such that the bracket door is spaced apart from the inner surface of the end wall of the endcap by a lateral offset distance, the lateral offset distance greater than a lateral distance from which the front wall of the endcap extends from the end wall in the lateral direction such that the bracket door clears the front wall when being pivoted between the opened and closed positions.
