Accessories: FAQs

What are curtain accessories?

Curtain accessories enhance the decorative features of a room. There are various ways to spruce up window dressings. Tiebacks are used to hold the curtain back from the window. This adds a fun element to a room’s design. A holdback is like a tieback; however, it is more rigid. They are becoming more popular as they are much simpler to use. If you want an inexpensive way to add depth to a room, a valance is ideal.

In our accessories section, you will find everything you need. Take a look at how you can decorate your curtains.

How do I choose curtain hooks?

The main thing to consider is functionality. You need to make sure the hooks can hold the curtains in place. If they are made of a heavy material, they must be sturdy enough to keep the curtains on the rod. A lightweight hook is more suited to sheers, valances or curtains made of a delicate fabric.

Check out our extensive range of curtain hooks. They come in a variety of styles and colour, making it easy to find the perfect ones suitable for your window treatments.

What is a curtain holdback?

To put it simply - it holds the curtain back in a simple yet effective way. Holdbacks are normally made of metal, so they are rigid and maintain a fixed position. They are designed with the intention to carry only the front-edge of the curtain, instead of holding the entire thing.

We stock stylish holdbacks, matching most of our metal pole colours and finishes, for a perfectly harmonised look.

Where should curtain holdbacks be placed?

Where you place your curtain holdbacks is completely subjective. However, we advise setting it a third of the way up, from the base of the curtain. Once you have determined where to position your holdbacks – they will require being fitted to the wall. They are normally placed at a straight angle. However, if you like the sloped look and find it does not lose its practicality, it can be a workable option.
