Curtain poles are inevitably produced in many different shapes and sizes. The style of the homes that we live in varies greatly with some having small square windows and others with larger and more rectangular windows.
Before you can really start thinking about style, it is essential that your curtain poles of choice are going to be the correct length for the windows in which they will eventually be displayed. Choose poles that are too long and you are going to be left with some serious overhang and not really know what to do with it, except a makeshift cut off that may end up looking ugly. Choose poles that are too short and, well, your curtains, when hung simply won't cover the entire window!
Of the two contrasting problems mentioned above, it is perhaps acquiring extra long curtain poles for those really wide windows that will prove the biggest challenge, purely because the really wide windows are probably rarer, and finding somewhere that stocks them can often be tricky.
This challenge is not impossible, however, and there are curtain pole stores that cater for those extra large, extra long windows. Curtain pole width can stretch out to more than 15ft long, so that's some serious window!
Whatever the size of your windows and whatever the length of curtain pole you end up requiring, once thing is certain; you will find it very difficult to hang your curtains without them!
Your curtains often become a focal point of your interior design, and many people will choose the colour of their curtains and then decorate the rest of the room to blend in (some do it the other way around of course). Before you can reach this stage though, you usually need to make a decision about curtain poles. Stylistically, what sort of poles are going to suit the decor you have planned for each room of the house, which rooms are going to need smaller rails and which rooms are going to require some of the extra long curtain poles as discussed above.
So, careful planning is required with curtain poles being one of the key decisions you will need to make. Fortunately, there are now plenty of experts out there who can help you with all of those decisions and plenty of stores and emporiums that deal almost exclusively in curtain poles. You may find that shopping online will help provide more information as you search for the right thing for your home.
