Knob Knob. Who's there?

Knobs are a great option for drapery hardware.  They come in all different shapes and sizes and all different materials and finishes.  They can be used in a wide range of styles from contemporary to transitional to traditional.  And they can be used for a wide variety of window treatments from drapery panels to valances to swags and jabots.  Check out these pictures that show the many possibilities for knobs.

These are slouch panels with tiebacks on wood knobs from Paris Texas Hardware.

Knobs can also be used to solve installation dilemmas presented by arched or angled windows, bow windows, and corner or bay windows.  Here the metal knobs from Amore were angled to follow the shape of the window.

Sometimes knobs are used to add a detail or special feature to a window treatment.  The design of this swagged valance is taken up a notch by raising the center knob.

Here a contrasting fabric was introduced to the design by mounting the knobs directly on the striped cornice.
