Curtain Poles in the Home

July 8th, 2010, by cpoleshop

When it comes to brightening up your room, it’s easy to underestimate how much impact curtain poles can have. Complimenting both the colour and style of your curtains as well as the decor of the room in question, curtain poles are available in a myriad of different designs.

Although essentially just a pole designed to hold a curtain, curtain poles are actually much, much more. They have become a design feature with many people turning to them instead of opting for a traditional plastic curtain track. Curtain poles are available in many materials and finishes including wood, metal, and more.

At the end of a curtain pole is the finial. These effectively stop the curtains from slipping of the ends by being larger than the curtain rings. However, it should be mentioned that these curtain pole finials are indeed much more than that and are decorative items in their own right. Curtain pole finials are available in some fabulous shapes and sizes, in fact whatever your taste; there will be a finial out there that suits you.

Both wooden curtain poles and metal curtain poles can be used in many different situations. Whether you have a traditionally decorated home or one that is more modern both can be equally suitable. It should be said however that although there is nothing wrong with a laissez faire attitude to home decor certain colours and shades lend themselves better to certain styles.

Before you make that all important decision as to which curtain pole is perfect for your home, you should always make sure you have looked around at all the different options available to you. Read a curtain pole measuring guide before hand and then make sure that you know exactly what size curtain pole you are going to need.

One thing to be aware of is the weight of your intended curtains. If you choose to buy a lightweight curtain pole but have curtains made from heavy material sagging may occur. Choosing a curtain pole that can support the weight of all that material will certainly make all the difference. If in doubt always opt for a sturdy wooden curtain pole or indeed a well manufactured metal curtain pole.

Brighten up your Home with a Fabulous Curtain Pole

March 30th, 2010, by cpoleshop

With lighter nights and Spring upon us, we often start thinking about a spot of redecorating. Ushering in Spring with a new broom is a common phenomenon and sprucing up our homes can help us to achieve this.

Although our main focus normally revolves around wallpaper, paint, carpets and even curtains, often we neglect our curtain poles, perhaps not realising what effect they can have on our home decor. After all, the right curtain pole can make a huge difference to a door or window and can help create the perfect frame to hang those new curtains from.

Curtain poles are extremely versatile in that they can be used as both functional and decorative items. Although we generally purchase a curtain pole as a means to draw our curtains, we may want to team them with luxurious fabric on windows that have blinds to create a focal point or add a decorative flourish.

As to which type of curtain pole we use in our homes depends largely on personal taste. Both wooden curtain poles and metal curtain poles lend themselves equally as well to both modern and traditional decor. Essentially, there is no right or wrong choice, interior design allows the freedom to pick and choose from different styles to create our own look.

Of course, let us not forget that it is all well and good having a great looking designer curtain pole, but it is equally as important to make sure that it is well built and sturdy enough to handle heavy fabrics and constant use.

This is where the Curtain Pole Shop comes in. All of the curtain poles stocked in their online shop are constructed from durable, hardwearing materials with many being from names you can trust such as Byron & Byron.

Whether it’s a curtain pole kit or even a bay window curtain pole, the Curtain Pole shop, has it all. With a wide range of styles and colours on offer, whatever pole you’re after to brighten up your Spring, the Curtain Pole Shop has the answer.

Help! I need Curtain Poles for my Bay Window

March 17th, 2010, by cpoleshop

A few weeks ago, I heard this exact cry from my father who lives in a terraced house and has two large bay windows. Up until now, he had been happy with a plastic curtain track but after having his lounge redecorated, he felt it was time for a change and indeed, an upgrade.

Unfortunately, he has limited mobility and was at the time, recovering from a broken leg making him essentially housebound. Usually he would go into town and look around his local shops but his injury made this impossible.

So, this resulted in a telephone call from my dad saying, “Help! I need Curtain Poles for my Bay Window and I don’t know where to look”. I considered various options, such as driving him to the shops or trying to find a suitable curtain pole in a catalogue, but instead came up with another idea. How about letting him search online in order to try to find the right curtain pole.

By doing this, he could either, find a curtain pole, buy it there and then and have it delivered or at least find a shop that stocked the right one and I could go and pick it up for him. So, armed with my lap top computer I went around to my dad’s house and let him loose on the Internet.

Once online, it was easy to find a plethora of websites all stocking curtain poles and of course, more specifically, bay window curtain poles but with so many websites how do you choose the right one. After all, it is easy to become dizzy from browsing through all these sites trying to find a suitable pole.

My dad had some specific requests, for example he specifically requested a metal curtain pole (he wanted to avoid plastic altogether), which made it easier to narrow the field. Bay window curtain poles are available in Black metal, Brass effect and Stainless Steel so there were still plenty of options open to him.

One website that stocked Bay Window curtain poles as well as straight poles was the Curtain Pole Shop. A range of different, styles and materials were available, making them a great choice for online curtain pole shopping. These curtain poles came in 360cm lengths making them perfect for a multitude of bay windows and a return kit was also available to extend around the bay window return should one be needed.

They had delivery service too. This meant that he could buy the right curtain pole at a great price without ever leaving the home and have it delivered straight to his front door. For a great choice of curtain poles, visit www.thecurtainpoleshop.co.uk today.

Curtain Poles; which one do I Choose?

January 12th, 2010, by cpoleshop

When it comes to curtain poles, the sheer amount of options in terms of styles and materials can sometimes be overwhelming.  What colour should you choose? Should you buy wood or metal? Will it match your current decor and will it even fit the window when you get home? With so many different questions, it is easy to end up with your head in a spin.

When considering curtain pole choice perhaps the first point to look at should be your home decor. It is imperative that you purchase a pole that fits in perfectly with the style of your home otherwise it will look out of place and your money will have been wasted. It should be mentioned however that some curtain poles look equally as good differently decorated homes.

Wooden curtain poles for instance, come in many different types and finishes. This makes them extremely versatile and ensures that they will look good in various situations. Wood is an incredibly warm material and depending on colour can help create different ambiences in a room.

Metal curtain poles too can look good in different decor situations. For instance, they too are available in different colours and finishes such as black, bronze and steel. Again, this versatility means that both modern and classically decorated homes can still include a metal pole.

Of course, for those of you out there that want something even more special, you could even consider purchasing a handcrafted curtain pole. Although more expensive, these poles are really something else. Beautifully made, these curtain poles provide a stunning fixture that will help to create that wow factor in your home.

When choosing a new curtain pole, making sure it fits the desired window or door is a lot easier to deal with than you might at first think.  There is even a simple, easy to follow guide available to show how to get the right measurements, which can be found here: Curtain Pole Measurement Guide.

If, after reading this you want to find out more about the types of curtain poles available then why not pay a visit to www.thecurtainpoleshop.co.uk, where you will find a large range of metal, wooden and handcrafted curtain poles in a variety of styles.
