Curtain Tie Backs


Elevate your windows with our stunning collection of curtain tie backs and holdbacks, designed to add a professional and polished finish to any room. From elegant tassels to contemporary crystal designs, these accessories are the perfect way to frame your views and let natural light flood into your home.
When selecting tie backs, consider the weight of your curtains to ensure the style provides enough support, such as choosing sturdy holdbacks for heavy velvets or delicate tassels for lighter fabrics. Look for colours and textures that either coordinate with your existing curtain fabric for a seamless look or provide a bold contrast to create a focal point. Additionally, check the length of the tie back to ensure it can comfortably wrap around your gathered curtains without pulling too tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a tie back and a holdback?

Tie backs are flexible loops made of fabric or cord that wrap around the curtain, while holdbacks are rigid metal or wooden fixtures attached to the wall.

How do I know what size tie back I need?

Most tie backs come in standard sizes that fit average curtain widths, but for extra thick or wide curtains, look for longer tassel or rope styles to ensure a secure fit.

At what height should I install my curtain holdbacks?

Generally, holdbacks should be installed about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the curtain to create a graceful drape and balanced aesthetic.

Can I use these tie backs with any type of curtain?

Yes, our range includes various styles suitable for everything from lightweight voiles to heavy blackout curtains, though heavier fabrics require more robust options.

How do I clean my curtain tie backs?

Most fabric and tassel tie backs can be gently spot cleaned with a damp cloth, while metal holdbacks simply need a quick dust or wipe to maintain their shine.

Do tie backs come in pairs?

Most of our tie backs are sold in pairs to cover both sides of a window, but it is always best to check the specific product description for quantity details.

What materials are the tie backs made from?

Our collection features a wide variety of materials including durable cotton, shimmering polyester, elegant silk-style tassels, and decorative crystal embellishments.

How can tie backs help with room lighting?

By neatly gathering your curtains away from the window, tie backs allow maximum natural light to enter the room during the day while maintaining a styled appearance.
