Why is drapery hardware essential to home decor?

As window accessories, drapery rods serve double duty as a source of both form and function. Available in various styles and composed of materials such as metal and acrylic, drapery hardware enhances the overall aesthetic of a space. While most of your drapery rod remains concealed behind fabric, finials provide a decorative touch while keeping the rod securely in place.

Finials offer a combination of practical and decorative benefits. Functionally, they help secure the drapery rod by anchoring it at both ends. From an aesthetic standpoint, finials add a touch of elegance to your drapery rods and can even help unify the design of your entire room. With a wide range of styles and materials available, Deco & Deco makes it easy to find drapery hardware that completes your look.

Choosing the right finish for summer

As the days grow longer and an atmosphere of warmth permeates every part of your home, you might be thinking about a small-scale interior refresh. Our Crystal Collection and Acrylic Collection are ideal no matter the season, but we particularly love the way the finishes gleam in the summer sun. For a more minimal look, our Acrylic Collection feels sleek and contemporary, while our Crystal Collection adds a touch of opulence to any space.

When selecting a new drapery rod or finial, consider the style of your environment and the look you want to achieve. Whether you prefer something crisp and modern or embellished and traditional, there’s an aesthetic that will suit your space. Also, we recommend paying attention to the material—whether you choose metal or acrylic will depend on the overall look you’re aiming for. We often welcome the summer sun by opening the curtains, making solid brass and acrylic both beautiful options for adding a hint of sheen.

Creating an impact with drapery hardware

When it comes to reinforcing the aesthetic of a room, it’s important to take into account the result you want to achieve when selecting your drapery hardware. Choose hardware made from the same material or with a similar finish to other accessories (lighting, mirrors, and even framed artwork) for a cohesive look, or opt for contrasting materials for a standout effect that adds dynamic contrast. 

Also, consider the size of your windows. To play up a large window, you may want to opt for more impactful drapery hardware. If your windows are on the smaller side, a more streamlined approach to drapery rods and finials feels more in proportion with compact spaces.
