Unique Options In Drapery Hardware
The amount of drapery hardware that is available to accent curtains and window treatments has increased dramatically over the years. There are many custom options for those who have a very specific look that that they are going for and there are a number of accents that can really help to give existing window treatments a new look. Before you decide that you would simply like to change the hardware for your existing window treatments it is important to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with what you already have.
Curtain rods offer an excellent opportunity to change hardware an d really update the appearance of your window treatments. Rods can be purchased in custom lengths depending on the size of your window, or there are adjustable curtain rods that can be made to fit the width of most standard size windows. While curtain rods are available in a variety of materials, iron curtain rods with varying levels of scroll work are among the most common options for those looking to spruce up their window treatments. Double curtain rods allow for an even more dramatic curtain option by allowing you to combine multiple patterns and materials on one curtain rod.
If you opt for wooden curtain rods, there are a number of stylish option on the market. Be sure to top the ends of the curtain rods with decorative finials. Finials serve a dual purpose in that they keep the curtains from sliding off of the curtain rod and also give some style to what would otherwise be a rather plain curtain rod.
If the curtains need to be pulled back to allow natural light to enter during the day, metal hold backs offer a functional decorative touch. Most curtain rod designs also have coordinated metal hold backs, and often they can be purchased as a set for a discount. Another option to keep curtains open is fabric tiebacks, which can be customized with a wide variety of materials at a relatively inexpensive price.
Tassels are a classic touch for those who want a more traditional look from their curtains. Tassels are available in a number of different sizes. It is important to choose the size of the tassel according to how large the window is. If the tassel is so large that it dominates the window it will take away from the overall appearance. In general, it is best to only choose tassels if your windows are oversized and only choose large tassels for tall picture windows.
The way that you choose to accent your window treatments in the form of drapery decoration can make a big difference in the finished look. Be sure to consider all of your options for drapery hardware as you decide on the fabric you will use, so that the end results have a coordinated appearance.
