Wrought Iron Curtain Rods

Wrought iron curtain rods and their accompanying accessories give an eternal and ageless charm to a home interior, be it for a country home or a typical modern home. In fact, they are also ideal for an office environment. The common colors for wrought iron curtain rods are black, brown and sometimes metallic, and they come with finely carved knobs. Whatever the choice of color, make sure the rods match the color of your home and the type of curtain and print of curtain that you are planning to hang up. The rods come in three unique design ends: curled pocket panels and ball ends. They all add a timeless touch to curtain rods.

Wrought iron curtain rods are easy to install and last a long time, since they are made of iron. However, you need to keep in mind that the thicker the rod, the heavier it will be, so make sure that the support brackets together with the attachments are strong enough to hold them up (with the weight of the curtain as well), and that the mounting surface is also solid enough to take on the weight. Even so, they are a much better choice than wooden rods, which are subjected to terrible wear and tear every time the curtains are drawn or when the curtain rings glide up and down.

Since there are many designs but not many colors to choose from, make sure that you make the right choice, as the choice you make will be literally hanging around your home for a long time.

Rustic Curtain Rods

If you are looking for curtain rods that are simple, inexpensive and elegant, then the best choice would be rustic curtain rods. They are suitable for any environment and usage, and there is nothing more charming and ascetically pleasing to the eye than a window dressed with rustic curtain rods. They are particularly popular in Cape Cod style homes.

To get the best deal, make sure you have checked all the shops near your area and online, because rustic curtain rods can be obtained at very good prices. There are various designs available, such as animal shapes, maple and ivy leaves, and tiebacks and scrolls; therefore, they can match any motif you choose.

The biggest advantage of using rustic curtain rods is that they are affordable. Even the best quality rustic curtain rods can be purchased at very attractive, discounted prices. Apart from the obvious cost factor, another major point to consider when purchasing rustic curtain rods is that they do not get rusty because they have a protective coat of oil, which prevents the rods from getting rusty. Another advantage of rustic curtain rods is that they are available in any size to fit your window frame or door frame. However, the size of a normal rustic rod ranges between 24 - 36 inches and 60 - 90 inches.

Rustic curtain rods can also be obtained in packages where they come complete with the drapery rods, finials, iron mounts, iron rings, and mounting and placement hardware, as well as the typical iron patina finish.
