Small details, big difference - the finishing touches that make a room and a table feel complete.

Luxury Curtain Tiebacks & Gold Napkin Rings

The difference between a room that looks finished and one that doesn't is often in the details. A gold curtain tieback that frames a window, a napkin ring that dresses each place setting, a crisp embroidered tablecloth - these are the touches guests notice without quite knowing why. At Whites & Pastels, this collection brings together luxury curtain tiebacks in gold metal with pearls, stones and floral motifs, gold napkin ring sets, and white European-style table linen.

What Are Curtain Holders Called?

"Curtain holder" can mean a few different things, so it helps to know the names. A curtain tieback wraps around the curtain to gather it to one side - ours are decorative gold metal rings. A holdback is a hook or knob fixed to the wall that the curtain tucks behind. Curtain rod brackets (also called rod holders or parda holders) hold the rod itself up on the wall. Curtain clips attach the fabric to rings on the rod. This collection is all about decorative tiebacks - the finishing piece that frames a window without any drilling.

What Can I Use to Hold Curtains in Place?

For a clean, gathered look during the day, a tieback is the easiest option: slip the ring around the curtain at the height you like and adjust the drape. Because our tiebacks are made from flexible, expandable metal, there are no screws or wall fittings - they simply wrap and hold. That also makes them easy to move between rooms or swap for festive seasons.

Curtain Tiebacks - How to Choose

Most of our curtain tiebacks are made from flexible, expandable metal, so the ring stretches to hold heavy drapes and closes in for lighter fabrics. The main thing to consider is the weight of your curtains:

Curtain Type What to Choose Our Pick
Heavy drapes - velvet, suede Expandable metal ring that stretches to fit Gold Curtain Ring with Pearl & Stone
Heavy drapes with a floral look Expandable metal with white-and-gold flowers Flower Bunch Curtain Tieback
All curtain types, heavy to sheer Stretchable metal with a decorative motif Tree Design Curtain Tieback
Thin, lightweight or inner curtains Compact tieback designed for light fabrics Red Pearl Curtain Tieback

Our Curtain Tieback Designs

Each tieback is sold as a single piece, so you can buy exactly as many as your windows need. The Tree Design Curtain Tieback features a golden tree motif with delicate pearl blossoms and stone embellishments in stretchable metal that fits heavy drapes and sheer curtains alike. The Flower Bunch Curtain Tieback pairs a white-and-gold bunch-of-flowers motif with expandable metal that holds heavy drapes like suede or velvet. The Pearl & Stone Curtain Ring expands for large suede or velvet curtains and squeezes in for lightweight fabrics.

For a simpler look, the 6-Pearl Curtain Tieback has a mirror-polished golden ring with six pearls, measuring 15 × 10 × 8 cm and weighing 65 grams. The Gold Leaf Curtain Tieback is a flexible mirror-polished ring that expands and tightens to fit, measuring 15 × 10 × 8 cm and weighing 55 grams. For inner curtains and thinner drapes, the Red Pearl Curtain Tieback adds four cherry-red pearls on a compact gold ring.

Where to Place Curtain Tiebacks

Height Look Best For
About one-third up from the floor Classic, elegant hourglass drape Living rooms, formal spaces
Window-sill height Relaxed and modern Bedrooms, everyday windows
Two-thirds up Grand, dramatic sweep Tall windows, high ceilings

Whatever height you choose, keep it the same on both sides of the window, and on every window in the room, so the drapes look balanced.

How to Use a Curtain Tieback

  • Open the curtain and gather the fabric to the side.
  • Stretch the ring gently and wrap it around the gathered curtain at your chosen height.
  • Adjust the drape - pull a little fabric above the ring for a soft, blousy look, or keep it straight for a crisp line.
  • Repeat on the other side at the same height.

Matching Tiebacks to Your Room

  • Living room: Tree Design or Pearl & Stone tiebacks on velvet drapes for a luxurious focal point.
  • Bedroom: Gold Leaf or 6-Pearl tiebacks for a quieter elegance.
  • Pooja room or festive windows: Flower Bunch tiebacks in white and gold.
  • Kids' rooms and sheer inner curtains: the compact Red Pearl tieback.
  • Mixed metals: gold tiebacks pair beautifully with brass curtain rods and warm lighting.

Gold Napkin Rings

Napkin rings turn a folded napkin into part of the table decor. All our napkin rings are metal with a gold finish and come in sets, so every place setting matches:

Tablecloths & Table Runners

A white tablecloth is the classic base for gold napkin rings. The Luxury White Lace Tablecloth is French-inspired, in thick, heavy cotton with a wide lace border, in 8.5 × 4.5 ft for 6-seater tables and 10 × 4.5 ft for 8-seater tables. The European Embroidery & Patchwork Table Cover is high-quality cotton with white-on-white embroidery, in 8.5 × 4.7 ft (6-seater) and 10 × 4.7 ft (8-seater). The European Embroidered White Cotton Tablecloth (140 × 240 cm) suits a 6-seater table.

Prefer to show off your dining table? The White Table Runner with European Embroidery comes in two sizes: 1.3 × 7.87 ft for 6-seater tables and 1.3 × 9.85 ft for 8-seater tables. For more linens, see Soft Furnishings.

Which Tablecloth Size Do You Need?

Finishing Accents

For candlelight, the Pillar Candle with Glass Hurricane & Brass Coaster includes a beige pillar candle, a borosilicate glass hurricane and a pure brass base that doubles as a coaster. The Mini Brass Shankh is a small handcrafted conch in pure brass with a natural gold finish - a compact accent for coffee tables, bookshelves, trays and pooja rooms.

Festive Styling Ideas

  • Diwali: Flower Bunch tiebacks on the living room drapes, a white lace tablecloth, Pearl & Stonework napkin rings and the brass shankh on a tray.
  • Wedding functions at home: Tree Design tiebacks and Sun Design napkin rings for sparkle.
  • Christmas: Gold Leaf tiebacks and napkin rings with a hurricane candle as the centrepiece.
  • Everyday elegance: 6-Pearl tiebacks and Gold Metal Band napkin rings.

Lace, Embroidery or Runner?

Choose a lace tablecloth for a soft, romantic, European look - lovely for brunches and festive dinners. An embroidered white tablecloth is crisper and more formal, with white-on-white detail that suits both classic and contemporary homes. A table runner covers just the centre, showing off a beautiful wooden or marble dining table while still giving napkin rings, candles and vases a base to sit on. For large family gatherings, a full tablecloth also protects the table from spills.

Pairing Tiebacks with Your Curtains

Let the tieback echo something else in the room: gold tiebacks with gold-rimmed tableware or brass lamps, pearl tiebacks with ivory or blush curtains, and the white-and-gold Flower Bunch with light, airy fabrics. On bold or patterned curtains, a simple Gold Leaf or 6-Pearl ring keeps the look balanced; on plain velvet, a more ornate Tree Design or Pearl & Stone ring becomes the focal point.

Care Tips

  • Tiebacks and napkin rings: wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners that could dull the gold finish or loosen pearls and stones.
  • Store carefully in a box or pouch so pieces don't scratch.
  • Tablecloths and runners: check each product page for washing instructions.
