Curtain Rods for Dummies, Part III - Holdbacks

Holdbacks or tiebacks are traditionally installed on the wall beside the window and used to hold curtains back, away from the window.  Hook holdbacks are shaped like a "U" or an "L" and designed to hold the curtains in the "U" or "L" section.  Stem holdbacks are usually made with a "post" with some sort of design on the front where the curtains go to one side of the "post."

Made of Metal has both stem and hook style holdbacks in different designs.  They are finished to match your rod and other curtain accessories.

There are also some creative ways to use holdbacks.  If you have an arched or other strangely-shaped window, you can hang holdbacks above or around your window to hang your curtains on.
