Hardware

From the unappealing white metal traverse rod of long ago, window treatment hardware has changed drastically. In the realm of window covering styles, it has risen to the top, with rods and finials available in a wide range of styles. Wood, glass, ceramic, iron, and metal are some of the types of window treatment hardware. With so many choices, it may take some time for you to choose the rods, longer than other aspects of your room. With window treatment hardware, it is easy to decorate your window treatments.

As you decide on your hardware, think about your window treatment’s function. A draw cord system or easy to slide rings should be used with draperies. If you have non-moving decorative panels, you can put them on a rod or suspend them from ties or tab tops. Chrome rods, metals, cable systems, iron, and glass finials will match the look of contemporary homes. For modern rooms with minimal or straight décor, newer cable systems will fit in perfectly. These cable systems work well for wide windows also.
