Amore Drapery Rods

Distinctive drapery hardware can transform a window into a work of art. In fact, it is not uncommon to see decorative drapery rods and accent pieces as the focal point of the window, and in some cases, of the entire room. Our collection is cast and welded in metals of recycled iron and aluminum from timeless patterns derived from 18th and 19th century European ironworks. Each piece is hand-finished in a wonderful color selection to coordinate with today's décor.

Drapery Tips

• Add height to a room by installing drapery hardware above the window frame, or even up along the ceiling line
• The longer fabric panels will add a tall line to the rooms
• Use a double rod to accommodate a layer of sheers and over drapes, or drapes and a valance
• Choose sturdy larger diameter rods for heavy draperies
• Sheer panels and lighter silks will look more appropriate on thinner lighter rods
• Reserve heavy cornices and finials for larger rooms with high ceilings
• Keep the scale lighter for smaller spaces with low ceilings
• The value of beautiful curtain rods and finials in decorating a room is equal to that of the curtains
