Curtains can change the entire mood of a room and are a great, inexpensive way to update any space. The great thing about curtains is that they can be tied back in different, creative ways to allow light to filter into your room. Here are some neat and quirky ways to tie back your curtains that will allow you to express your individuality.
- Door Knobs
Doorknobs are a great tie back option because you can find them anywhere and get them for any price. Go antique shopping and you’ll find hundreds of different knobs, and one of them is sure to fit the bill. Make sure the doorknob you choose sticks out far enough from the wall to tuck your curtains or drapes behind it to keep everything tied back where it needs to be. You don’t even need a tie to keep your curtains back in this case because the fabric can just be bunched behind the knob.
- Chains
Chains can be customized to match any room and just like doorknobs, you can find them in thrift stores or big box stores for any price to match your budget. By using a chain, you can control exactly where you want your tieback to fall on your curtains so you can customize the look of your window treatment. Just scoop the curtains back in the chain and attach the chain to a hook or nail behind the window frame. Place the hook or nail as high or as low as you choose to make your curtains look exactly how you want.
- Ropes
One reason ropes are a great option for curtain tiebacks is that they can be bought anywhere, for any price, in any thickness, and in any color. You can really customize the look of your room this way. They’re also great for nautical themes. You don’t need to attach the ropes to anything on your wall, so they’re great if you live in a dorm or an apartment that doesn’t allow you to do any alterations. Just tie a simple knot and let your curtains do the talking for your room.
- Belts
If you’re decorating a rustic room, or maybe even a man cave, belts are the perfect tiebacks for your curtains. You can cinch them to be any size you want, and belts are inexpensive and completely customizable to match your taste and your décor. You can buy them in leather for rustic rooms, or you can get creative and go for a plastic brightly colored belt for kids’ rooms. They can be fun and quirky, or they can add a touch of masculinity to any room.
