Please help me ID this curtain rod
Comments (13)Romy, I'd have to agree with the shops opinions that you need at least a 1 3/8" rod for a 10' rod. While I seriously dislike big for the sake of Big, and have never liked the oversize furniture trends put forth by the PotteryBarn type places, I believe that you do need to keep your rod in proportion to the size of the room and the length of the rod. Honestly I'd probably be looking at a 2" rod for your room. a 10' rod is a long rod, and you don't want it to look like a pencil. How wide is your trim? Remember that with a round rod you're not seeing 2", or 1 3/8", you're seeing whatever the face is that is visible, and if my math skills were a lot better I'd be able to tell you. I do love the Titanium finish, and I like the Amboise finial better than the pine cone one. Your panels are fixed right, you don't intend to open and close them? When you buy the rings make sure to buy the rings that have another little eye ring screwed into the bottom of the ring, as that is necessary to put the hook into and allow the decorative ring to still hang vertically, not go crooked. You can buy wood rings and paint them yourself then screw in those eyelets, but I'd really recommend buying the ones that go with the rod you choose. Then how much of the ring shows is totally dependent on where you put the pin in the pleat. If you put the pin half way up the pleat so that the turn of the hook is just below the top edge of your drapery you'll get the look in your inspiration pic. You don't need to hire someone to hang them for you. **Make sure to put the pin in the pleat, then measure from the inside of the curve on the hook to the hem to determine how high to hang the rod. Then measure from the screweye on the bottom of the ring to the floor. You'd be surprised how many people who hang their own forget about the height of the pins and the length of the drop of the ring.** Thanks for the link to ParisTexas rods. I'm not finding any provision for curved pieces for bay windows. I'll give them a call after the first of the year....See MoreHelp with curtain rod colour for bedrooms
Comments (2)Hi, Ange, When you say 'Natural White, is it a true white or an off-white? Are there any bits of 'silver' in the rooms already, such as lamps or picture frames? I might hold off your rod decision until you find the curtains that you like, as the fabric may influence your decision. Good luck!...See MoreWindow Curtain Rod for Shower Curtain Rod?! A big no-no?

Comments (0)Trying to find curtain panels for my dining room. 84” goes right to the top of the window trim, but 96” is too long. Should I go with 96” and have them altered? That would have the curtain rod up near crown mounding. Is that proper placement? Paper blinds are going in the trash! Haha. Advice is appreciated....See MoreSusie .
