Curtain Rods

Curtain rods are a quick and simple way to add a bit of style and function to your curtains, and to any room in the house. They serve the main purpose of hanging curtains and drapery. However this doesn't mean you can't be a little creative in what you choose. Decorative curtain rods are the most elegant and sophisticated, and there are some fantastic designs on the market at the moment, and at reasonable prices too.

All kinds of materials can be used such as wood, metals, plastics and others to help the rods blend into their surroundings. There are even self supporting curtain rods that do not need any fixtures or screws. This makes the process of hanging curtains a breeze. The only downside is that these kinds of rods cannot hold much weight, ao they are best used for light curtains and drapery, or perhaps some kitchen blinds. Use them in an emergency or if you have just moved into your new home and need something to cover the windows in a hurry.

Shower curtains will always need the most support, and there is a huge variety of rods to fit any size shower, and any curtain design. L shaped rods, and D shaped rods enable you to change the style of your bathroom, and give you more room to take a shower without banging your arms. They also come with double rods so you can hang any wet towels without bringing the lot down on top of yourself.
