Looking for that finishing touch for your curtains? Why not search for the perfect finial or tieback? Window treatment hardware as decorative accents are increasingly popular in custom home projects because they add style and finish to your window treatments. Depending upon your personality and room decor, they can be modern, traditional, rustic, or sleek. Here at Strickland’s Home, we carry many options in our Wilmington, NC showroom, from medallions to wood finials and beyond.
What types of decorative accessories are there?
Finials are the small accessories that you add after the rod or pole has slid into its’ brackets and is in its proper place. Finials are both decorative and functional: they keep curtain rings from sliding off the rod or pole. However, finials aren’t an option for inside-mount rods. Popular finial shapes include balls, teardrops, metal spheres, pineapples, S-curves, even acorns and leaves. Finials come in a variety of finishes: wood, iron, glass, metal, and painted ceramic.
Holdbacks are larger decorative hooks in a u-shape that, as with tiebacks, gather curtains and hold them to one side. Like finials, holdbacks can have a design element or decorative accent on the outside end, including porcelain and glass flowers, swirls, fleur-de-lis, and leaves.
Tiebacks are decorative loops of fabric, cord, and sometimes metal. They are used to part and drape a curtain to the side. Because tiebacks can be made of fabric and cord, they are available in a wide variety of finishes and sizes. They have a more formal, traditional look.
Medallions are fixed brackets with round, medallion-inspired decorative ends that are used to secure drapes. These brackets are popular design choices for unusually shaped windows that are not suited to curtain rods. However, these drapes cannot be opened and closed in the manner of drapes hung on curtain rods. (https://www.houzz.com/medallion-hung-drapes)

Iron finals: These are a classic and subtle choice that matches many kinds of home décor. Usually chosen in a black wrought-iron finish, the shape of the individual finial determines its style impact. Formal European shapes like fleur-de-lis are popular in French country décor, while S-shaped and curled designs are more contemporary and feminine.
