Popular Styles of Drapery Hardware

You cannot go wrong with any drapery or drapery hardware from our selection at Ida and Norma's, but there are a few styles of drapery hardware that have proven to be especially timeless, elegant, and functional.

  1. Curtain Rods: Curtain rods hang above your window treatments and hold your drapery from above. They must be sturdy enough to hold the weight of your drapery while it's still, while you're moving it, and in any position that you put it in. You can add end caps in fun shapes, such as spheres of cubes, as well for an additional interior design element.
  2. Tie Backs: Tie backs are a common choice for drapery hardware as they can be fabric or metal. Tie backs hold back your drapery to allow sunlight to enter your room and create a dreamy, smooth appearance.
  3. Traverse Tracks: Traverse tracks look similar to curtain rods but have a series of hooked wheels along a track to allow the drapery to move back and forth. Traverse tracks are often used for tall windows or sliding glass doors.

How to Choose the Right Drapery Hardware

There are a few items to consider when choosing the proper drapery hardware for your home. Considering these things will ensure you build a cohesive and functional window set.

  • How tall are your windows? The taller the windows, the heavier the drapery will be and the more reinforcement your drapes will need from the hardware.
  • What type of aesthetic do you want to create? Do you want a room filled with clean lines that create a timeless appearance? Or are you looking to build a soft, wistful room that may benefit from tie backs?
  • How much will the drapery move? Knowing how often your drapery will be opened or closed can help our team ensure we suggest functional and practical drapery hardware for you.
  • What materials will complement your current interior design? It is much easier to alter your drapery hardware around your furniture than your furniture around your drapery hardware.
Consider if fabric, wood, iron, gold, or silver drapery hardware better complements your interior design.
