When looking to redecorate a room, you may want to first consider sprucing up your widows with new drapes or even decorative curtain rods. Adding small items such as curtain rods with ornamental finals can go a long way in changing the appearance of the entire room. These fixtures can also be used in far more creative ways, if you include a small amount of imagination.
Consider your bedroom. There are many items that you could replace in the bedroom that could cost quite a bit of money, which might leave you not being able to do a lot of decorating in the rest of the home. Instead of replacing the headboard of your bed, you might want to mount a curtain rod above the bed, directly on the wall and drape a swag curtain or scarf valance over the rod. The curtain will work as a focal point, drawing attention to the bed and giving it a definite decorative flair.
If you desire a romantic atmosphere in your boudoir, try suspending white sheets from the curtain rod and allowing them to flow around the bed. There are many different romantic themes that can be accomplished using this design and method.
Perhaps you would like to be creative with decorative curtain rods in other rooms of the home, try using them to hang attractive Afghans, wall hangings or paintings. This allows you to show off your favorite or prized possession and do so with charm and flair. For those individuals that love to sew or quilt, the curtain rod can be the perfect way to showcase their own crafty artwork.
A curtain rod, suspended from the ceiling, makes a great room divider. This can be used to separate a large space into smaller areas or even in children’s rooms, where the children want to have their own area and privacy. You can use curtains or even colorful sheets to create this effect and save money in the process.
There are many other ways to use curtain rods to add an innovative style to your home’s decor. All that is needed is a little imagination, some basic crafting materials and the desire to make the look and feel of your home your own.
