2. Make It Special with Hardware

Furthermore, the window hardware acts as the jewelry of the room, bringing everything together. Allow new hardware to be the finishing touch of your overall look. Every style element matters when trying to achieve the perfect design.

Also remember, where the hardware is installed can change the look of a space instantly. Placing a curtain rod above the window near the ceiling, gives this room a larger feel and can highlight tall ceilings.
