A pair is the right quantity, because a window with one side tied back and the other loose always looks accidental. These tiebacks combine a tassel with wooden beads — a combination that reads as considered and natural rather than merely functional, and pairs particularly well with linen, rattan and timber in a room. Practically they do what every tieback does, and it is worth more than people expect: drawing curtains properly back lets in noticeably more daylight, keeps fabric clear of sills and open windows, and gives the window a defined shape instead of a bunched one. Suitable for a variety of curtain styles and weights.

Buying guide
Fit the tieback about two thirds of the way down the curtain for the classic gathered curve; higher makes a window read as taller, lower makes it read as wider. Draw the curtain back far enough to clear the glass rather than just the frame, or you gain no extra light at all — the most common mistake with tiebacks. Do not tie heavy fabric too tightly, which sets permanent creases. Release the curtains fully every so often so the folds do not become fixed in one position. Dust the tassels rather than washing them.
How it compares
Against a plain rope tieback, tassels and wooden beads add a decorative, natural detail. Against a fixed wall hold-back, these need no drilling and can be moved. For very heavy blackout curtains, a wall-mounted hold-back carries the weight more securely.
Frequently asked questions
Where should they sit on the curtain?
About two thirds of the way down. Higher makes the window look taller; lower makes it look wider.
How far back should the curtain be drawn?
Far enough to clear the glass, not just the frame - otherwise you gain no extra daylight, which is the main reason to use a tieback.
How do I clean them?
Dust the tassels rather than washing them, which can distort the tassel shape and mark the wooden beads.
