Window Rods

When it comes to making a statement in your rooms, nothing stands out more than your windows. Dressing your windows beautifully in a style that suits the room can give your room a custom, designer look. In fact, designers report that one of the top five decorating mistakes that homeowners make is neglecting their windows and window treatments.

We all know that our choices in window treatments are important. Certain styles and fabrics look best in our rooms depending upon the style of the room. But, have you given any thought to your window rods?

Your choice in window rods can either enhance the look of your window treatments or detract from them. Choosing the right window rods for your draperies, in particular, can help the windows have a polished appearance.

In the past, curtain rods were meant to blend in and go unnoticed. In fact, most draperies were hung on pole rods that didn’t even show, except for the finials on the end of the rods.

Today, however, tab top curtains have become very popular. These curtains and drapes leave a great deal of the window rod showing, making the design of the rod far more important. If you’re hanging tab top drapes or window toppers, you must choose a pretty curtain rod to go along with it.

The good news is that pretty curtain rods with finials that make a real statement are easy to find. They’re available in all sizes at home decorating stores, department stores, discount stores and even home improvement stores. In addition, they’re very inexpensive too. So, you have no excuse for choosing plain boring curtain rods when beautiful ones are so easy to find and so affordable.

In addition to choosing beautiful window rods, be sure also to choose the right rods for your window types. For example, if you have a bay window, look for a bay window curtain rod. Rods made specifically for your type of window as well as your type of window treatment will fit better and look better. You might be surprised to know that there is a specialty curtain rod designed for nearly every type of specialty window.

So, pay attention to your window rods. They help ensure that your window treatments fit properly and look their best. In addition, choosing beautiful window rods that complement the style of your windows, your room and your window treatments will help make your room look its very best.
