"For Decor Or Function - Here Are A Few Ideas To Consider When Choosing
Curtain & Drapery Hardware"

Looking for some drapery hardware ideas? How important is it really? Well, it depends on what it's main purpose is. Is it mostly about "looks" or about "function"?

Either way, you have some decisions to make. When you get an inspiration and realization of the vast creative options available online, you will definitely become a "licensed" artist! You will then realize just how important your curtain & drapery hardware is to your decorating!

But, where do you start? Here are some ideas and important decisions you will have to make... Your first order of business is to determine your personal needs, tastes, decor options, practical logistics, and the "basic" look you truly desire.

If you're looking for hardware strictly for functionality, then a basic set of white hardware will do the job just fine. And there are some great resources for these. Just measure (carefully) what you need, order it, and you're good to go!

But, if you have the flair and knack for decorating, then you're in for a treat! The artistry and craftsmanship of some of the latest decorative curtain hardware is truly exquisite.

The first consideration is whether your curtains and drapes are on the inside or outside of your window frame.

Next, think about whether you want a window treatment that is stationary. If you do, then you have a decision to make... do you want metal or wood poles?

Or, if you need to open and close your drapes often, you will need a traverse rod. Traverse rods open from the center, or in one direction from either end. You guessed it... yet another decision to make!

The bottom line... if creativity is your goal, then you either need to definitively know what you want, or, be very decisive! If functionality is what you are after, then the task is simple... just measure ( at least twice!) and order!
