How to Choose The Right Curtain Poles for Your Home?

 A curtain rod, curtain rail or a curtain pole is a standard device used to suspend curtains, generally above windows or along the edges of showers and bathtubs in fact anywhere that the curtains might be used.

Curtain finials or curtain poles must match the style of your room and of course the curtain rods. Here are a few of the popular style combinations:


·         Glamorous: Try something sculptured or maybe a glass or crystal finials for a glam or luxury style.

·         Midcentury modern: Look for the wooden shaped or geometric with brass hardware accents.

·         Traditional: Carved wooden poles give a timeless traditional look.

·         Classic: If you’re indecisive, classic cap or ball poles are a timeless and certainly an easy choice.

There are various different types of curtain poles available. Please see below the list :-

Step 1 - Now the million dollar question is, how to pick the right curtain poles ? Well first we must understand what kind of window does your home has. Is it a bay window or may be a recessed or surface-mounted one. No matter what the window style is we certainly have the appropriate brackets, as well as the information that you would need to successfully dress all of your windows.

How to measure your windows for a curtain pole

 

Measure the overall recess width of your window and then add at least another 15cm for each of the sides. Your new pole length will be the recess width + 30cm.

 

Recess "A"

Add the measurements below to each side of the recess measurement "A"

100cm  (39”)

15cm   (6”)

180cm  (71”)

20cm   (8”)

240cm  (95”) 

25cm   (10”)

360cm  (142”) 

35cm   (14”)

480cm  (189”)  

45cm   (18”)

600cm  (237”)  

52cm   (21”)

 

This measurement basically gives you the overall length of the curtain pole minus the finial length. Curtain poles are generally manufactured in set lengths therefore if your measurement differs from a standard length then the suggestion would be to order the next size up from your main measurement and cut to size if required.

 

Here are a few measuring tips that may come in handy:-

 

ü  Using metal tape is always recommended for accuracy and ease of use.

ü  Check the measurement a few times to be sure and ensure to write them down each time to avoid disparity

ü  While measuring it is always useful to get help from someone to hold the other end of the tape to ensure accuracy.

ü  In the case of limited space on either side of the window a smaller finial would be recommended.

Step 2 - Now coming to picking your own curtain pole diameter. While at it one must consider the type and weight of the curtains that you will be hanging. The heavier the curtains, the wider the diameter of pole one may require. 

 

  • 16mm – suitable for voiles (light weight)
  • 19mm – suitable for unlined curtains (medium weight)
  • 28mm – suitable for lined and blackout curtains (heavyweight)

 Step 3 – Choosing the brackets, while choosing the bracket one may want to work out on as many brackets as they may need - we certainly recommend one bracket for every 1-1.5m. One may keep in mind the following bifurcation for the right selection.

 

Choosing the brackets

Standard Bracket

Specific Bracket

Wall Bracket

Bay Bend Bracket

Recessed Bracket

Elbow Connector

Ceiling Mounted Bracket

Angle Bracket

 Step 4 – When it comes to finishing the final look, we have got a great selection of finishing accessories available for you. Choose from our range of finials, tiebacks, rings, and rings with clips. No matter what look you are going for; we will have something suitable for your style. Don’t forget to purchase your fixings.
