"Whether You Prefer Metal,
Wood, Or Fabric - Curtain
Tiebacks Are Always
In Perfect Taste"

 Curtain tiebacks are much more than a way to hold your curtains and draperies back. Tie backs are also a great way to turn an ordinary drape, into something a little more special, especially if the budget won't allow for new curtains.

Curtain tie backs will allow more light into the room. The height of the tie backs vary, depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. Note: 2/3 of way down the curtain is the most popular height.

You want to make sure that the tie backs are long enough and the correct length, so as not to "squish" the drapes.

Tie backs are quite often included as part of a set. However, tie backs can be purchased separately as well. You can use contrasting colors or match them exactly with the curtains and drapes.

There are generally 2 types of tiebacks, soft (made from fabrics like lace) and hard (metal & wood), which is usually the same as the curtain and various metal types like wrought iron, antique and glass. The "hard" tie backs usually screw into the wall.

And here is another creative use of tie backs... use them as towel holders, especially if you have unique "one-of-a-kind" ones.

As a decorative window accent, as a way to allow more light in, and to keep your curtains, drapes or valances tied down on a breezy day, tiebacks are a must have for soft window coverings. So get creative and enjoy this inexpensive way to add a little something to your decor!
