Curtain Tiebacks & Holdbacks

Finish your curtains with the perfect tieback or holdback. Choose from soft fabric tiebacks for a relaxed, coordinated look, or decorative metal holdbacks for a more structured, statement finish, both available in a range of styles and finishes to match your existing curtains.

Fabric tiebacks are the simplest way to add a soft, coordinated finish, looping around your curtain and fastening to hold it neatly in place. They work especially well when you want your tiebacks to blend in with the curtain fabric itself, or as part of a matching set with cushions and throws. Metal holdbacks, by contrast, are fixed to the wall and give a more tailored, architectural look. Ideal if you want your curtains to sit further back from the window and let more light in, or if you're after a decorative hardware finish like brushed silver, chrome, or antique brass.

How to Choose the Right Length


Curtain weight and fabric type both affectwhat length or style of tieback you'll need. Lighter fabrics tend to drape well with slimmer fabric tiebacks, while heavier curtains, particularly thermal or blackout linings, often hold their shape better with a sturdier metal holdback. As a general guide, position your tieback or holdback around a third of the way down from the top of the curtain for a classic look, or lower for a more relaxed, dramatic drape.

FAQ

  • Do I need tiebacks or holdbacks? Tiebacks are a fabric loop that ties around the curtain; holdbacks are fixed metal or wall-mounted fittings. Both do the same job, it comes down to the finish you prefer.
  • What length tieback do I need? This depends on your curtain width and how far back you want the curtain held, as a starting point, measure around a third of the way down your curtain length.
  • Can I use holdbacks with any curtains? Yes, though heavier curtains (thermal/blackout) generally suit metal holdbacks best, as they hold structure better than fabric tiebacks.
