If you have patterned curtains, try choosing tiebacks that have one or more colors that are present in the patterns. You can purchase tiebacks anywhere home furnishings are sold. They can range anywhere from $3. 00-$25. 00 USD apiece, depending on the style you choose.
If you’re using your curtains as decorative panels, it’s okay if they don’t cover the entire window. Create a look that you like! Just make sure your curtains have enough fabric that they don’t look too bare when you tie them back.
For very tall windows, such as two-story windows, you may need to place your tiebacks based on how the curtains look as well as where you can reach to adjust them. You may need to lower the tiebacks to make them more accessible.
Simple hooks usually cost around $0. 50 and can be purchased at any hardware store. For heavy tiebacks or tassels with 2 loops, you may need a larger hook. The hook should be hidden by the curtain.
You can also use cuff bracelets or even tiaras to add sparkle to your curtains. This method will work best if you have 2 similar brooches or if you have your curtains on a track and only need to tie them to one side.
Fringed scarves can add a funky rock-n-roll vibe to your window treatment.
Let’s say you have a pair of white panels in your living room window. For Christmas, you might use a red velvet ribbon as a tieback. During October, you might celebrate Halloween with a black and orange polka dot ribbon. During the summer months, you might use a simple white sisal rope or a nautical-themed ribbon.
