A Beginners Guide to Curtain Tassels, Trims, Pelmets & Tiebacks

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean (Hawkes Bay Chem-Dry)

The colours, patterns and style are an essential part of trying a room together and creating a particular mood. However, there’s more to a perfect curtain than just the fabric and cut. As interior design trends move away from clean, minimalistic Scandinavian styles - no curtain is complete without a tassel, trims, pelmet or tieback. In 2021, it’s all about more glamorous styles like Modern Luxe and Modern Classic. Feeling confused? Don’t worry, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide on all these finishing touches so you can make the right choice for your curtain style. Read on to find out more!

Tassels
Tassels are an elegant cluster of strings or cords that are clumped together at one end and hang free at the other. Suitable for curtains rather than blinds, these finishing features are actually a practical decoration. The tassel’s shape acts as a weight at the bottom of the cord which helps keep the curtains pulled back without the need for bulky knots. Tassel’s come in a variety of colours and styles to suit any decor. However, they are on the flashier end of curtain finishings, so they’d best suit a living room or bedroom.

Trims
So, you’ve selected a style of curtain that sounds your decor - now it’s time to choose a trim. Trims refers to the decorative elements that add a touch of ornateness to your curtains, and the sky’s the limit when it comes to style, pattern, colour and embellishments. Types of trim include:

Valances
You’ve heard of valances on beds, but when it comes to curtains and blinds a valance refers to the fabric or panel added above a window. Typically, valances are used to hide a rod or track and add a touch of chic to any room. The style options are endless - you can add embellishments like beads or pom-poms. However, avoid adding anything to the sides of your roller blinds, though, as this can become entangled in the roller blind mechanism at the top and prevent them from rolling and unrolling properly.

Poll: Should our voting age be lowered to 16?

Ashleigh Ogden from Neighbourly.co.nz

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

***ELDERLY & TIMID***
MISSING - DOG - (PAKOWHAI, HASTINGS) HAWKES BAY
17.11.22- Posting on behalf of owner. Maggie is still missing as of 9.30am Thursday, 17th November. Maggie is 12 years old and is lost. She is a wire haired, white and tan, Jack Russell and was wearing a collar. She was scared off at the Pakowhai Dog Park on Wednesday 16 November at 11:30 am. Maggie took off and there were several possible sightings of her mentioned on fb seen in and around the Whakatu Industrial Park area (especially on Johnson Way) around 1:30 pm (This area is where the old Whakatu Freezing Works once was.) This area is east / Havelock side of the dog park.
Maggies owner Chris, is an older lady and is naturally very worried. Chris has had Maggie for 12 years. She is not on Facebook and doesnt use social media. She really doesnt know what to do. 💕 So if you are able to help please by sharing this post on ANY PAGE that would be appreciated. And post on your fb page as there are many many businesses in the Whakatu Industrial Park with lots of employees who could keep an eye out. Maggie could be in Clive, Hastings or hiding out in the Whakatu area still or even around the dog park. She will be timid and afraid as she has never left her owners side until today. Is anybody is willing to please assist her owner Chris by making up a flyer asap and printing copies that she and others willing could be delivered all around the Whakatu area and dog park? If so please PM me.
Thank you for any help, sharing this post and offering advice.
Please phone Chris
0274389679 if you see her as she is timid and unlikely to come or message www.facebook.com...
