Every window treatment requires hardware, so be sure to choose finishing touches as carefully as you choose your curtain fabrics. Tiebacks, stackbacks and holdbacks not only complement your window treatments but help define the amount of light that enters your room. From modern designs to eclectic one-of-a-kind finds, personalize your windows with tiebacks that reflect the treatment and the room's decor.

FABRICS TO TIE FOR You could design an entire room around a decorative fabric tieback from the extensive collection at Fabrics by Allan. Choose from the best lines: from Kravet and Duralee (swatches pictured) to the classic palettes of Waverly. Fabrics by Allan can also help you sew your own or, if you prefer, leave the stitching to their design team. Costs vary according to fabric selection and complexity of tieback design. Fabrics by Allan in South Whitehall Township, 610-530-7650. Read more
