Deck Your Windows In Wrought Iron Drapery Rods And Accessories
Wrought iron drapery rods and accessories can add a truly unique and distinctive look to your home decor. From simple curtain rings to elaborate swags and tiebacks, from intricate finial mounts to exquisite rod and shelf brackets, wrought iron can make either a subtle statement or a bold declaration.
For many years, curtain rods were buried within folds of fabric, serving a simple utilitarian purpose; but, the beautiful craftsmanship and vast selection of wrought iron available today, has shifted the focus to include not only the window covering itself but also the hardware. Now simple curtains can be enriched, the ambience of a room can be changed, a fashion statement can be made, elegance or warmth can be reborn – all this with the addition of an iron curtain rod!
Decorative iron knobs add creative and custom artistry to wrought iron drapery rods and come in a variety of styles from country themed acorns, pinecones, bears, moose, and leaves to the more contemporary themed swirls, scrolls, arrows and vines. Maybe you are looking for formal or modern, rustic or traditional, or perhaps you want to inject a little Spanish flavor or create the aura of an ancient French villa – whatever your dream, wrought iron can make virtually any decorating vision come to life. And with the variety of finishes and colors available today, wrought iron window treatments can accommodate anyone’s taste or style preferences.
If you don’t want to cover your windows with curtains or blinds, yet wish to eliminate the unfinished look of an unadorned window, then a wrought iron window grill may be the perfect answer. Grills are great for high windows or basement windows since they can dress up the room while still allowing for maximum light. Wrought iron window grills are also a beautiful addition to entryways, interior French style doors, and even skylights. Although there are plenty of pre-made patterns to choose from, they can also be Custom Made to accentuate your artistic flair and may include family crests or individualized patterns such as flowers, animals, or collectible items. Options are limited only by your creativity and the finished product would certainly be an expression unique to your home.
Making wrought iron drapery rods and window treatments a focal point of your decor allows you to accessorize with additional wrought iron items, thus enhancing the overall effect. Matching themed pillar candles in the same pattern as your decorative knobs can be set on windowsills or nearby tables, complimentary wall sconces may be placed alongside windows, or wrought iron window boxes filled with plants and flowers can be hung both inside and outside. If your ceilings are high enough, place a shelf above your window using a wrought iron shelf bracket with curtain rod hooks attached, and decorate it with appropriate items.
While wrought iron window treatments are both beautiful and unique, they can also be quite heavy and very expensive. If you are concerned about your walls or window frames being able to sustain the weight of real wrought iron, or if cost is an issue, you may wish to consider faux iron. Faux iron is lightweight, durable, affordable, and looks like the real thing! And even better, it is made from recycled wood with chemical free resins, making it an environmentally friendly product.
With wrought iron drapery rods and accessories, you can have the look you want at the price you can afford and be satisfied that your choice will not only be unique but will also stand the test of time.
