Ruffle curtains

I am loving all the ruffle curtains I've seen lately.  Whether they be super-girly pink or a more neutral gray, they are so fun and attractive!

Hang medals using a curtain rod

Do you or your kids have a ton of medals and nowhere to hang them?  A curtain rod is the perfect solution. Use a smaller curtain rod, such as a 5/8" or 3/4" round custom curtain rod.  You can order the exact length you need.  Smaller, simpler finials, such as the ci9x or the round ball finials would be ideal.  Place the medals on your curtain rod and hang them on your wall brackets.

Using curtain rods for an art gallery

Curtains rods are a great way to display your art, whether it be art prints, canvases or photos.  Custom curtain rods, with curtain rod brackets and finials works on any wall.  You can choose the length and paint finish.

Cafe curtain rods would also work.  You don't need brackets or finials with this style as long as your rod is not too long.  You can even use rings to hang your art or photos, and they will move along your curtain rod.

Hanging curtains behind a bed

Hanging curtains behind a bed is a great decorative idea.  Curtains can also be used as a headboard. The colors look great if your walls and curtains are contrasting colors.  Custom curtain rods will work, with or without finials.  Cafe curtain rods would be great if you want a return to the wall with no finials or inside mount brackets would work best if you have an alcove.  Use rings or wands if you want to slide the curtains back and forth across the rod.
