The Art of the Final Touch — A Guide to Curtain Tiebacks

Whether you are pulling back drapes to welcome the morning sun or simply adding a layer of texture, our collection is designed to style your windows with quiet intention.

The Warmth of the Hand
In a world of the mass-produced, we choose the character of the handmade. Our handcrafted tiebacks are artisanal pieces—woven from lustrous silky threads, accented with rustic wooden beads, and finished with heavy tassels. They bring a sense of weight and heritage to your home, turning a functional loop into a conversation piece.
Material & Texture
We believe beauty lies in the mix. By pairing the subtle shine of twisted rayon cords with the matte earthiness of natural wood and cotton, we create pieces that feel as good as they look. These textures are designed to frame everything from the lightest sheer linens to the most substantial, deep-toned velvets.
Styling Your Drapes
-
The Classic Sweep: Use our tiebacks with a wall hook for a formal, curved silhouette that opens up your room and invites the light in.
-
The Bohemian Knot: For a more relaxed feel, simply tie the cord directly around the fabric without a hook, allowing the tassels to hang at a casual, natural height.
-
A Decorative Accent: Even when curtains are closed, these pieces can remain draped over a hook as a soft, tactile ornament.
Common Questions
-
Can they hold heavy fabrics? Yes. Despite their delicate appearance, our tiebacks are built with durable cords specifically designed to secure heavy blackout drapes and velvet curtains with ease.
-
How do I keep them looking new? To preserve the silkiness of the threads and the polish of the beads, a gentle spot cleaning is all they need. It’s best to avoid water to protect the handcrafted knots.
-
How do I install them? Our designs are versatile. You can loop them onto a traditional wall-mounted hook or use them as a simple wrap-around for a more modern, effortless look.
