Hardware comes in many assorted styles, colours and finishes to coordinate with your theme. There is specific hardware for the type of window treatment you choose. Many different effects can be created from layering treatments. When combining window treatments purchase the correct hardware for the two to work together. For example, combining vertical blinds and draperies will require drapery brackets that project far enough over the blind so both are operational.
Drapery hardware has come to the forefront of window dressing. The decorative pole, a standard curtain rod, rod finials, rings, and decorative tiebacks that can be used to hold back your drapes or to hang valances or panels from their loops are made of stainless steel, wood, brass, iron, cast aluminum, genuine wrought iron, polished brass, antique brass, , brushed nickel or copper, and chrome rods with metal, iron, or clear glass and many other finishes.
