wherein the at least one finial element and at least one fastening element form the decorative assembly:
the at least one rod comprises at least two rods on each of which a curtain or drapery is mounted;
the at least one finial element comprises a first finial element configured to attach to a first end of a first of the at least two rods;
a second finial element configured to attach to a first end of a second of the at least two rods;
a corner wall bracket configured to attach to a second end of the first of the at least two rods and to a second end of the second of the at least two rods such that the first of the at least two rods and the second of at least two rods are attached to each other, the corner wall bracket configured to attach to a wall between two perpendicular windows;
the at least one fastening element comprises a first fastening element configured to attach the first of the at least two rods to a first wall other than the wall between the two perpendicular windows such that the first of the at least two rods is detachably attached to the first wall; and
a second fastening element configured to attach the second of the at least two rods to a second wall other than the wall between the two perpendicular windows such that the second of the at least two rods is detachably attached to the second wall;
a third fastening element configured to couple with the first finial element, the third fastening element configured to detachably mount to a first surface such that the first of the at least two rods hangs over at least a first of the two perpendicular windows and at least partially blocks at least a view into the at least the first of the two perpendicular windows or light through the at least the first of the two perpendicular windows; and
a fourth fastening element configured to couple with the second finial element, the fourth fastening element configured to detachably mount to a second surface such that the second of the at least two rods hangs over at least a second of the two perpendicular windows and at least partially blocks at least a view into the at least the second of the two perpendicular windows or light through the at least the second of the two perpendicular windows.

2. The decorative assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the corner wall bracket is utilized to attach the decorative assembly to the wall between the two perpendicular windows and comprises two end brackets and a corner fastening element;
