When buying curtains for your home, fabric is only one part of the complete picture. You can dress up your curtains by picking the perfect accessories to match them. But to be able to pick out the best accessories for your curtains, you first have to understand what the different accessories are. The guide below can help you out.

1. Curtain brackets. These are where your curtain rods rest. They come in many elegant designs and are made from different materials. Choose from one-rod or two-rod brackets, depending on your needs. 

2. Curtain rods. These are where you insert curtain rings. Curtain rods have different decorative ends that add flair to your curtain set-up. Some ends are made of exquisite mother of pearl, whilst others feature sculpted or engraved metal or brass.

3. Holdbacks and tiebacks. These can hold your curtains apart if you want to let in light into a room. They're usually made of fabric or rope and come in different colours. The more expensive holdbacks are made from metal, brass or even iron.

4. Curtain rings or cliprings. These hold the curtain itself. Choose from rings, where you insert curtain holes through them, or clip rings, which hold curtains via handy and practical clips.

5. Curtain tracks. These accessories make it easier for you to open or close your curtains. Curtain tracks are available in metal, plastic, aluminum and come in pulled or corded varieties.

There are many different accessories that you can use to dress up your home. Ask for them in curtain shops to be able to put up the perfect curtains for your home.
