These black holdbacks are simple, but really useful. I've got some tortoise shell ones myself. I got mine before holdbacks caught on in popularity, and I'm still a fan. I think they give less of an uptight look that happens when you use a large decorative rope to tie the curtains back. They have more of that old, craftsman style that's so beautiful.

This drapery hardware comes in several different sizes, so make sure to get the right one for your windows.

This isn't my favorite. It just looks like it's trying too hard to be cute, and not succeeding quite well enough. It's not ugly by any means, but I don't think it's as whimsical as they intended for it to be.

Yes, I realize that's a weird title, but what would you call this type of drapery hardware? It looks like an acorn that is covered in snakeskin!

You're the only one that can decide whether this works for your home, but ultimately, it's a little too weird for me. If you've got a very masculine room with lots of dark leather and sleek surfaces, I'd consider it though.

This square drapery rod is interesting, although ultimately, I'm not a fan. The reason why is simple. It looks a little too much like you pulled the copper caps on your deck posts off, brought them inside, and reused them as drapery hardware. Not good. I do like that you can get the entire set, including all the holdbacks and everything, though.

This stone curtain rod is really pretty, and it would probably work the best in a location such as the kitchen or bathroom. If you have stone tiles on your walls or floor that match this, this is a good way to tie in that look a little higher up. It would also work well throughout the rest of the house, tying in the kitchen or bathroom with the living room and other rooms.
