Hot Drapery Hardware Options
The Chris Madden Mix and Match Rod Collection from JCPenney has an unbelievably high-end look.
Honestly, I thought my job was going to be easy today. The plan was to hunt down some ”hot drapery hardware options” (hence the title above) and pop them in here for you. Boy, was I way off base! I quickly found that there were some high-end options at Horchow but then it quickly dropped off into a boring parade of round wood finials and wimpy looking iron rods. Can’t we do a little better than that? I mean if you are going for the budget hardware, then go to Home Depot and be done with it. But since I don’t give up that easily, I hunted further and honestly the best selection was found at 2 stores where you can shop online or in person: Bed, Bath & Beyond and JCPenney. Have a look!
The Wood & Metal Rod Collection from JCPenney in another wood/metal collection. This time with a modern flair.
The Linden Street® Globe 1" Rod Collection from JCPenney. The combination of metal and wood finishes is really sharp.
Ampersand™ Cube Brushed Nickel Decorative Window Hardware from Bed, Bath & Beyond has a telescoping rod for various window sizes and cool, square rings? (Can I still call them rings?)
Croscill Jefferson Decorative Window Hardware from Bed, Bath & Beyond; for those of you with a more formal style.
White sheers would look lovely on this graceful rod.
The Mother-of-Pearl or Bone Rod Collection from JCPenney would be perfect in a more feminine room.
From finials and rings to tassels and poles. Accessorize your windows with creative, good quality hardware and it will last for years to come.

I was writing an article for my newsletter, and I too was surprised at what I found online when researching decorative drapery hardware.
The recommendations I found were simply atrocious and straight out of the 80′s! One example said to upgrade your drapery hardware by wrapping silk flowers around a closet pole! Another suggestion was to spray paint a PVC pipe and use that as your decorative drapery rod! That could be toxic by today’s standards!
When the drapery hardware is skimpy, droopy and too skinny for a window, that’s the number one sign that screams ‘ready-made’! However, you can make any off-the-shelf, ready-made window treatment look 1000 times better, simply by choosing the right drapery rod for your window.
