Stylish curtain tie-backs: 10 ideas to be inspired by

When furnishing our rooms, we try to pay attention to even the smallest details: these can also include accessories such as clips for tying back the curtains. If you think about it, curtains play an essential role in giving character to a room: they cover large surface areas when opened or drawn. And depending on the material, the color, their position, how we tie them back and keep them drawn can be a furnishing opportunity.

The clips and ties used to tie back curtains can be graceful and elegant. Check out the ideas below:

DIY curtain ties: recycle accessories

How about using a string of (unused) artificial pearls as an elegant curtain tie-back?

Another fashion accessory that can work as a curtain tie-back: an old belt! A functional, original and slightly vintage touch!

Wooden hasp/brooch: orginally used as hair clips, for scarves and cloaks, these accessories are perfect (in giant size) to hold curtains in place.

Handmade designer tie-backs

Attach a wooden or metal knob to the wall, and then choose - or make - a tie (from rope, for example), to hold the curtain back. Attractive and handy!

With ropes or cords you can create all sorts of tie-backs, perhaps decorated with flet pompoms at the ends.

A rustic touch: rope, or even twine, softened by adding some pendants. These can be made of wood, faux crystal, and more!

Do you love the sea? Try a nautical style

To evoke feelings of the seaside, marine-styled furnishing and decorating is a must. Here, a faux starfish has been used as a fastener for the curtains!

...or you can use ships ropes to create a nautical theme!

Ideas for curtains in the children's room

You can have fun with the curtains in the kids' room. If you know how to crochet, you can make all sorts of cute animals to serve as curtain tie-backs.

Even with scraps of felt, cotton or pillow stuffing, you can make truly adorable, colorful, three-dimensional characters to act as tie-backs.
