Having a sense of uniformity in the décor of your home gives the impression to your visitors that you have put in a lot of thought into the planning and decorating of your house. Such a look entails that every small thing is given considerable attention to. One such ‘small thing’ that needs attention, but is seldom given much of it, is the curtain pole. Window curtain poles can greatly alter or enhance the look of the windows and thereby of your space. Therefore, it is important that you plan properly before buying and installing the pole.
Most people go for wooden poles that are available in pine, maple or oak wood. Those who want to save on some money and yet get the natural wooden look buy faux wood poles. But, instead of following herd mentality and buying wooden poles for your windows, make sure that the wood matches with the interiors of your room. If there is enough woodwork in your room, only then should you go with wooden poles, which you should preferably match with the woodwork. But, if your room has more of metal or shine, then metal or polished plastic poles would work for you more than wooden poles.
One thing that is as important as the look of the curtain pole is getting the right measurement and placement of it. Curtain rods should always be a bit lengthier than the breadth of the window frame. It should be installed in such a manner that the curtains hang just the right length. For this, taking accurate measurements is crucial.
But taking right measurements can be a bit tricky for a bay window curtain pole. Due to their unique design, bay windows need special measurements if you are buying a curtain rod that’s in one single piece. But if you are buying three different rods for the three sections, then you would just need to treat every section as a separate window and take measurements. But separate poles have an obvious disadvantage: they will not allow you to shift curtains from one section to the other. Therefore, it is better to go for one single pole bent smoothly at the corners. You can get custom curtain poles for bay windows as well but they are likely to cost you more.
While buying curtain rods, ensure that you get matching curtain rings as well. Most curtain rods come with rings but just make sure that your rod comes with them just in case they are missing. Window curtain poles do not cost much. Their price generally ranges between $25 and $100. If you can, buy the poles over the Internet, as there are usually better discounts to be found on the web.
