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.

How to use curtain rods to divide spaces

Using curtains is a creative, budget-conscious way to divide room or spaces in your house. You can choose anything from simple cotton curtains to luxurious velvet drapes. It can divide a home office from a living room. It could hide the kids’ messy play area from your living room. Or, in a loft, it could separate the bedroom from the kitchen from the living area.
Curtain rods are a great way to hang these room dividers. There are three basic ways to hang your curtains with rods.

1. If you are hanging the curtains above an open door frame, the curtain rod can be hung on the wall using standard brackets. The brackets are attached to the wall and the rod is placed in the brackets. This is the same way you hang curtains on a window.

2. Ceiling brackets can be used with your curtain rod to hang the rod from the ceiling. The curtain rod can be as long as you need as long as you have enough support from the ceiling brackets.

3. If you want the curtains to hang from wall to wall, you can use end mount brackets. One side of these brackets is closed and the other is a saddle. You place the curtain rod in the closed bracket and lower it down into the saddle end. You may need one or more brackets to support the curtain rod if it is longer.

You can use decorative finials with options 1 and 2 above. Option 3 uses end mount brackets instead. You can also use rings with any of these options. Holdbacks and/or wands might be helpful if you want to move the curtains to the sides at some point.

New curtain rod brackets

We have two new brackets that are have a larger back plate.  They are perfect if you want something that looks more substantial or if you have holes in your wall that you need to cover (yes, I've used them for this!)  The heavy duty bracket has a larger rectangular back plate.

The diamond back bracket has a diamond shaped back plate.
Both of these brackets have a 3.5" projection (measured from the wall to the middle of the rod), but you may custom order them with custom projections as well.
