Drapery Hardware

Drapery hardware is an often an underappreciated facet of custom window treatments, but with a little forethought, curtain hardware and well-chosen drapery accessories can add immeasurable style to your window fashions and subtly beautify your home. Decorative hardware is both a utilitarian necessity and a creative opportunity. Utilitarian in that certain types of curtain hardware is simply indispensable, especially in the hanging of curtains (hardware items like drapery rods, curtain rings, drapery hooks and curtain clips) and also creative in that fabric curtains, fabric shades and fabric blinds lend themselves to artful embellishment.

When approached from an artistic standpoint, draperies, hardware, and even non-hardware items like drapery lining fabric can combine to create a whole new look. And while for some, a sturdy curtain pole and a trusty rod pocket or two will be all that they'll ever need or want, more elaborate window curtain hardware and architectural items (drapery holdbacks, drapery finials, tassel trim, decorative knobs, etc.) are capable of adding a dimension to window décor that can have a very pleasing effect.
