3 December 2009
Your choice of curtain pole finials will define the mood of the room, so, if you are finding it hard to choose which one is your favourite, buy them both. For a small investment and the few seconds it takes to change a finial, you can completely alter the look of your curtains. We have hundreds of exciting and innovative finials for bay window curtain poles, double curtain poles and conventional metal or wooden curtain poles, ranging from ultra-chic stainless steel to fabulous wooden finials that are exact replicas of antique finials of times gone by – so be prepared to be inspired.
The gentle colour of the Swish Rattan Ball Finial for 28mm Curtain Pole will make a room look warm and inviting. As with any natural product, these curtain pole accessories offer great versatility, the simplistic design of the woven rattan being beautifully complemented by the elegance of a burnished brass finial neck, which, although this finial has been designed to match the Swish Rattan Ball 28mm Curtain Pole Set will in fact be suitable to use as curtain pole accessories with most 28mm brass curtain poles.
Quirky modernist curtain pole accessories such as the Swish Mix and Match 19mm Jewel Inserts Metal Cylinder Finial for example will add a flourish of style to any window, the super sleek cylindrical finial being studded with glass detailing, ensuring an individual look for your curtains. This chrome curtain finial makes a particularly attractive finish as a double curtain pole accessory, as the finial will give extra length to the main feature curtain pole.
The natural beauty of wood has been stylishly captivated in the Swish Mix and Match 28mm Layered Wood Ball Finial. These curtain pole accessories are practical and good-looking, ideal in any home which has a tendency for detailing in wood, such as wooden flooring or wooden kitchen units. The colour blending of the two tones of wood will ensure that, whatever the metal curtain pole chosen for the window treatments, it will harmonise with other existing wooden detailing in the décor. Ball shaped curtain finials are always more suitable to use with a bay window curtain pole, as they will look equally attractive from any angle, whether viewed from the side or the front.
A simple style of finial such as the Swish Mix and Match 28mm Dimpled Ball Finial will defy the fleeting nature of fashion and remain stylish and elegant for many years to come. As with all ball shaped finials, these curtain pole accessories will be equally suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings and is also equally suitable for bay window curtain poles, double curtain poles or standard windows. Although the dimpled effect on the surface of the finial offers a slightly modern twist, there are many equally attractive ball finials on our site that are plain metal or wood, bringing a chic dimension to any style of décor.
Dreams are made of this!!!
For bedroom curtains you cannot beat a fabulous glass finial such as the Swish Mix and Match 19mm Hammered Glass Ball Finial, or a luxuriously beaded finial like the Swish Mix and Match 28mm Wire and Clear Beaded Oval Finial will make a great addition, transforming your bedroom windows from basic to glamorous, especially if the bedroom curtains are made from lush fabrics such as a shimmering silk that is wonderful to look at as well as touch. For an extra feel of romance, try pooling the curtains on the floor and sweeping them back away from the window into deep swags. Curtain pole accessories such as curtain holdbacks or tassel holdbacks will be needed to achieve this.
Some curtain finials are not sold individually and can only be purchased as part of a complete curtain pole set. Many have been hand carved or made from intricate glass detailing, owing much of their glamour to the expertise of the craftsmen who have made these fabulous curtain pole accessories. The striking Galleria G2 Jewelled Cage 35mm & 50mm Curtain Pole Set is a fine example of working with coloured glass, whereas the Byron & Byron Imperial Vase 67mm Curtain Pole Set is almost iconic in its status as a luxury wooden curtain pole.
