Looking for a creative twist on traditional window treatments? Try using curtain holdbacks—or drapery medallions—to install your entire design instead of relying on standard curtain rods. This technique not only creates a clean, elegant look but also adds flexibility in how your fabric drapes and swags. By spacing holdbacks across the top of the window, you can design beautiful soft folds, dramatic swoops, or tailored panels that highlight both your fabric and your decorative hardware. It’s a smart way to turn a functional element into a custom design feature that elevates any room.
