The finishing touch to your home decor is your window treatments. There is a very wide choice in this department. You have blinds, they come in venetian, vertical, roman, or regular, thin, mini, wide slat, wood, or vinyl. There are curtains and drapes in as wide a variety as your imagination. To hang these window coverings you must have a rod. The many types of curtain rods to choose from add even more to be considered. You have a hefty project on your hands when figuring out the window treatments.
When picking the rod you will need, you want to take into account whether you will be hanging a single or if you will have a valance. If you plan on a scarf or sheers with drapes, you will want to have double rods. This is where one rod is hung then a second that stands out farther than the first is added over it. You can pick a simple rod for the bottom, and then add a decorative rod on top since this is the one that will be seen. They come with a large assortment of pretty ends that will add that special touch to your design. If you are not sure you want to put holes in your wall, you have the choice of a pressure rod. This sits inside your window and uses pressure to hold it in place. You will not be able to see the ends of this rod once the curtain is hung. For looks, this is not the best option but it does offer ease of installation and no holes will be put in your sheet rock.
Picking the right types of curtain rods for your needs is best done with a plan in mind. Going to the store to pick one out before you have chosen the type of covering will leave you in a little bit of a mess. Take a little time to consider what look you want and you will be able to pick out the rod you need more efficiently.
