A decorative drapery rod assembly including a hollow rod of rectangular section having longitudinal beads and supported upon spaced wall brackets. The rod is nestingly enclosed by a series of decorative plastic modules of channel shape arranged closely end to end, each module having a pair of C-shaped spring clips seated inside the front wall of the module. The spring clips have upper and lower arms for engaging upper and lower surfaces on the rod so that each module may be snapped into a captive forwardly facing position after the rod has been installed in its horizontal working position on the wall, with the modules being slideable endwise on the rod for centering of the series of modules with respect to the rod. In the preferred embodiment the upper arm of each spring clip has a shoulder for engaging one of the beads and a detent spaced therefrom for engaging the other, with the lower arm serving to press the rod relatively upwardly into engagement with the shoulder and detent. The detent is formed in two portions having different spacing with respect to the shoulder thereby to accommodate both the outer and inner sections of a telescoping rod. Modules are preferably furnished in different standard lengths with the end modules having provision for variable overhang, thereby to accommodate rods of any length having supporting brackets in any position. Each spring clip has a central opening which is telescoped over an integral pedestal in the module, the pedestal and opening both being non-circular so that a partial turn of the clip from a condition of register provides a self-threading connection for securely bottoming the clip in place in the module.
