Window Swags

Back in the 1950’s, swag lamps were something of a craze for those who wanted a more relaxed look. It was not uncommon to hear people say: “You should see my swag lamp.” You could also hear the same exclamations over swag curtains that had just been bought and hung up in the home.

Swag lighting has a look all its own which may account for its popularity. The term “swags” has to do with the hanging portion of the item, be it a light or curtain. Swag lights usually hang over a table and have a chain that is hooked to the ceiling, thus the hanging portion of the lamp. Floral swags were incredibly popular and still are as they have a colorful shine to them when the light is turned on.

There are many variations on the swag light in terms of décor. You can find swag lights that are made of plastic, fabric, leather, brass, or a number of other materials. Today, the metal swag lamp is becoming very popular as these can now be crafted into many intricate designs.

As a décor item, swag lamps have many uses and you can often find a swag lamp to meet any need such as sports logos, racing cars, animals, etc. The hanging swag lamp will surely get noticed by family and friends alike.

But swag can also be used in terms of curtains. Swag curtains can be found in bedrooms, dining rooms, and dens. These unique curtains offer not only an added sense of style to the room but they also offer added protection for privacy. The way that swag curtains hang allows the window glass to be covered while the remainder of the curtain is held back on both sides of the windows.

Swag curtains can be found in just about any fabric that you can imagine. They can also be found in many different colors and patterns, making them very versatile. Best of all, they can be very affordable to buy or to make.

There is one last class of swag and that has to do with shower curtains. The double swag shower curtain has become a very popular item in many homes and hotels. The double swag shower curtains allow for more privacy while in the shower stall, and they also add dramatic décor flair to any bathroom they adorn. Double swag shower curtains can be found either online or offline at many retailers and vendors who carry such items.
