Drapery Hardware 101: What Options Are Best for Your Home

August 15, 2017

The way you hang up your curtains can be as important as the curtains you choose to hang. However, before you can choose the right drapery hardware, you must first understand what your options are. Half Price Drapes is here to describe the basic options. Read on to learn more and then contact us if you have additional questions.

Finials

When you see the end of a curtain rod that has a piece on it that has any type of shape, this is a finial. The name comes from the fact that they finish out the design. They’re a good choice if you want a well-rounded, completed look. There are a huge range of options within the category of finials. For example, you could find some that are contemporary, rustic, traditional, or even some that are custom made. No matter what shape, color, or size you want, you’ll likely be able to find it. Half Price Drapes offers several materials, styles, etc.

Tiebacks

After you’ve installed your curtains, do you want them to be drawn back? Or do you want them to frame the window? What if you want both? That’s where tiebacks come in. If you want to draw back your curtains, you can do that easily. Simply use your tiebacks to hold them and you’ll have access to your lovely view. Once again, we have tons of styles, materials, etc. for your perusal.

Curtain rings

If you think of curtain rings as boring and throwaway, then you likely don’t know about the latest in curtain rings. These can be beautiful accents if you choose the right ones. Find the right shape, the right material, the right color, and the right style. When you carefully select them, they can be as much a part of your décor as your draperies are.
