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!

How to make a simple canopy bed

I had saved this photo from Domino Magazine (now extinct).  It shows a great idea on how to make a canopy bed using curtain rods and accessories.  You will need:

1. a two-angle mitered curtain rod set - Follow the directions on our web site to measure for these.  Measure from the wall behind your bed to a little past the foot of your bed so the drapes hang past the bed.  Choose your favorite finish!  If you like the look in this photo, choose our matte stainless finish.

2. two end mount brackets

3. six ceiling curtain rods brackets

4.  curtain rod rings - Use 1.5" rings for a 1" curtain rod.  If you have panels similar to this photo (about 48" wide), you'll need 32 rings.  Use 8 rings per panel and you'll need 4 panels, one for each corner of the bed.

Let us know if you have any questions or need help!

Extra long curtain rods

The great thing about our custom curtain rods is that they can go anywhere.  They can be as long as you need, stretching across several windows or a whole room.  They can bend and be placed on any bay window or curved wall or arched window.  They can be put in any corner at any angle for a bay window or a wall corner.

                            

Extra long curtain rods can be ordered and shipped in several sections.  They connect using a connector that is provided and finished in the same finish.  With the round rod, the connector goes inside the rod and is hidden by brackets (also included).  After they are hung, no one will ever know that it isn't one long curtain rod.

Corner curtain rods work the same way.  A connector, welded at the correct angle, is included with your rods.  So you simply stick the connector in the two rods and hang with brackets.

Arched curtain rods are bent to your specifications.  If too large for shipping, they might be spliced as well.  But, as with the others, a connector is included and the splice is hidden with brackets.

We can also do any custom job you have.  Please call us or email us today.

Home theater curtains

Maytex Velvet Blackout Panel, Red

Your home theater needs red velvet curtains! You can hang a rod above your projection screen and let the curtains hang to the sides or pull them back with holdbacks. Or you can cover an entire wall with them. In this case, order a round rod in a size that works with your curtains and two end caps. These allow you to butt the end caps against the wall so the whole wall is covered with no gaps.

If you want the curtains to cover multiple walls, go with a corner curtain rod so there is no breaks in the curtains. You can pull curtains over the brackets for a finished look.

Corner Curtain Rods

We've been making corner curtain rods for awhile and you can order them online.  They are mostly used for wall corners and bay windows.  They are very handy when you have windows close to a corner and can't fit a finial or it would look too crowded.

You can also use corner rods in the middle of a room with ceiling brackets.  The ceiling brackets can support the curtain rods wherever needed.

It may look complicated to measure for corner rods but it's actually pretty easy.  We have detailed instructions on how to measure for one, two or three angles.  If you have more than three angles, please contact us. 

To make the corners, the rods are mitered at the correct angle.  Then, we include a connector that is also welded at the correct angle.  You slide the connector into the two rods and tighten them with the set screws already in the rods.  It's easy to do and very secure.  As with all of our curtain rods, they include brackets.  We will include enough brackets to hang your rods and support the corners.  They are ordered with your choice of finish.
