Tie Backs & Holdbacks

When it comes to window treatments, people tend to focus on curtains as the primary consideration. They certainly are important for both ambiance and shading capability. However, without the right curtain holdbacks, they’ll hang closed constantly. You have three options for keeping your curtain open: a holdback, a tie back, or curtain rings. You mount curtain tie back hooks to your wall so that they stay out of the window. These are either U-shaped or hooks, depending on how dense your curtain is. There are plenty of options to match your decor, including many options that’ll match the finials on your curtain rods. Options include everything from a simple polished metal hook to modern metal and marble or artistic bent metal designs.

You may not want to put additional hardware into your walls, in which case you may want to consider alternative curtain holdbacks and tassels. Curtain tie backs pull the curtain together but may allow it to hang naturally in front of the window. This is what creates the hourglass shape for window curtains. Rather than using a large holdback hook, curtain ties use a much smaller hook that is more subtle and discreet. Another popular option is curtain rings that pull the curtain together, either in front of the window or to the side. For instance, the magnetic curtain rings by Umbra® offer an easy way to hold back your draperies without any screws, hooks, or other tools. It does this by having a split swiveling ring, with magnets that hold it together.

You can easily match all the parts of your window treatment when you use a designed set from brands like Bee & Willow™. You can get everything from curtains and valances to curtain rods and holdbacks. If you have the curtains but you need a more coordinated approach to the hardware alone, consider the options Cambria® offers. You can find everything from adjustable and straight curtain rods to finials, holdbacks, and curtain rings. If you use thicker, room-darkening or blackout curtains, you may want to consider Cambria’s drapery spindles. These are larger circles that mount to the wall, much like other holdbacks, but aren’t in the shape of a hook. Sometimes, thicker or wider curtains are difficult to keep back behind the hook because they’re so bulky, but spindles can handle the extra material.
