Try Curtain Tie Backs

Curtain tie backs are a cute and practical way to decorate your curtains. Not only do they beautifully sweep the curtain fabric back from the window to allow in plenty of natural sunlight, but they also come in a variety of styles! Explore these three elegant offerings from Spiffy Spools:

Snazz

Our Snazz tie backs feature a silver, cylinder hook and a large silver eyelet. The eyelet is attached to a minimalistic, rectangular piece of fabric of your choosing, offering a sleek design. If you’re going for a modern look, Snazz tie backs are the perfect choice.

Pizzazz

For a more casual option, select our Pizzazz style tie backs. A small eyelet attaches to a thin, metal hook, and the fabric features a rectangular cut with rounded edges for a relaxed feel.

Razzmatazz

With this option, a sweeping piece of fabric with a thinly woven loop connects to a small cleat attached to the wall. Razzmatazz tie back hardware blends in seamlessly with your drapery for a refined look.

These curtain tie backs from Spiffy Spools are completely customizable. Whether you’d like to match the fabric to your curtain panels or mix it up with another pattern, you can design these lovely additions exactly to your liking!

Accessorize with a Valance

Another great way to decorate your curtains is with a valance. Valances are decorative pieces that cover about a fourth of the pane and beautifully soften incoming sunlight. They come in a variety of mounting styles, cuts, pleat styles, and patterns, providing you with plenty of customization options. Plus, they also conceal your curtain hardware. If you’re searching for an option that will stylishly accent your curtain selection, you’ll love the look of a valance.

Layer Your Curtains

Layering your curtains is sure to provide you with a polished, dynamic look. When layering curtains, the back curtains should filter sunlight while the top curtains feature the primary design elements. That said, sheers make the perfect back layer. Not only will they provide you with additional light control, but they add an instant airiness and brightness to your top layer as well.

However, this isn’t the only way you can layer curtains. Another great option is to place curtains over roman shades. This way, you’ll enjoy the traditional curtain look when closed, but when open, you can adjust your shades to allow in as much or as little sunlight as you’d like. Both methods of layering are great options for added light control and style!
