Tiebacks are the smallest detail in a curtain setup and the one most people skip — which is exactly why getting them right stands out. Here are five ways to use them well.
1. Set the Height Deliberately
A tieback placed at roughly two-thirds of the curtain's height (rather than dead center) tends to look more intentional and elongates the window visually.
2. Match the Print, Not Just the Color
Griham's curtain tiebacks (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/curtain-ties) are hand-embroidered to complement specific curtain prints from the curtains collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/curtains) — matching the actual pattern reads as far more finished than matching the color alone.
3. Use Them to Frame a View
If a window looks onto a garden or nice street, a tieback pulled fully open frames the view like a picture rather than letting fabric spill across the glass.
4. Don't Overlook the Kids' Room
Tiebacks work in playful spaces too — they keep curtains out of reach of small hands and away from window latches. Pair them with pieces from the Kids Room Collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/kids-room-collection) for a room that's tidy as well as cute.
5. Let Them Do Double Duty in Layered Windows
If you're layering a sheer with a heavier drape, a single tieback can hold both fabrics together cleanly instead of using two separate hardware pieces — a simpler, less cluttered look.
