Change the Personality of Your Drapery Hardware with a New Finial

Is your drapery treatment fine but the drapery hardware old and tired looking? Instead of changing out the whole window treatment when it's in good shape, freshen up the look by changing out the finials on the end of the rods.

Many homes have a simple round ball at the end of the drapery rod. If you're changing your home to a Tuscan Style or French Country Style, cover the rod with a tube of fabric or paint it in flat, dull black and cap it off with a black open wrought iron finial. Hang the stationary drapery panels from black wrought iron rings. The look will change instantly.

For a contemporary style interior, choose brushed nickel. For casual style attach a carved wooden finial.

Look for a curtain rod that will enhance your decor and change out the finial. It's just one simple way to update a room without making a huge change.
