How To Put Curtain Holdbacks

Curtain holdbacks are a great way to add a touch of style to your windows and keep your curtains open when you don't need them. They come in a variety of styles and finishes, so you can find the perfect ones to match your décor. Installing curtain holdbacks is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few minutes.

Materials You'll Need

Curtain holdbacks
Screwdriver or drill
Screws or anchors
Level (optional)

Instructions

Choose the location for your curtain holdbacks. They should be placed about 6-8 inches above the window frame and far enough apart so that the curtains can be pulled back completely.
If you are using screws to install the holdbacks, pre-drill holes in the wall at the desired locations. If you are using anchors, follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.
Attach the holdbacks to the wall using the screws or anchors.
Test the holdbacks by pulling back the curtains to make sure they are secure.

Tips

If you are unsure about where to place the curtain holdbacks, you can use a level to make sure they are even.
You can use different types of curtain holdbacks to create different looks. For example, rope tiebacks add a nautical touch, while metal holdbacks are more modern.
If you have heavy curtains, you may need to use stronger holdbacks or install them into a stud in the wall for added support.
