GUIDE
Curtain Rods
Even though curtain rails have become increasingly common in our homes in recent years, a classic curtain pole/rod remains a popular choice for hanging curtains. With curtain poles/rods, you achieve a traditional look for your curtain setup, where the pole/rod itself serves a decorative purpose and becomes a beautiful part of the overall design. Curtain poles/rods can create a slightly rustic, country feel, while still being perfect for achieving a modern curtain arrangement, such as stylish hotel waves, even with a curtain pole/rod.
Types of Curtain Poles/Rods
In our range, you’ll find complete curtain rods, as well as separate poles and accessories. The poles come in two sizes: 16/19 mm and 25/28 mm. We also offer a slim café rod, ideal for smaller curtain setups, such as providing privacy by placing it mid-window. Our curtain rods can be divided into the following categories:
- Complete Adjustable Curtain Poles/Rods
When you buy a complete curtain pole/rod, it includes an adjustable pole/rod, finials, and the brackets you need – quick and easy. The smaller pole/rod fits inside a larger one, allowing you to extend and adjust it to the desired length within a certain range.
- Curtain Accessories Flex
We also sell curtain poles/rods as separate components, where you can purchase the pole/rod, finials, and wall brackets individually. This way, you can mix and match exactly how you like!
Curtain Setups on Rods
Hasta’s curtains come with combo tape, allowing you to choose from several hanging styles. The simplest way to hang a curtain on a pole/rod is by threading the curtain directly onto the pole/rod through the loops in the curtain.
However, if you want the curtain to hang in more defined pleats or waves, it’s better to opt for curtain rings, which you can then combine with your preferred curtain hooks. Curtain rings also add an extra decorative touch and don’t conceal the pole/rod as much as hanging the curtain directly on the loops. You can read more here about how to create beautiful pleats in your curtains using curtain hooks.
Placement of Curtain Pole/Rod
Traditionally, curtain poles/rods have been placed just above the window, with a width that matches or is slightly wider than the window itself. However, to create a sense of space and allow as much natural light as possible, it’s better to rethink the placement of your curtain pole/rod. Mount the pole/rod closer to the ceiling instead, which will make the window appear larger and the ceiling height feel higher.
By choosing a pole/rod wider than the window, you also avoid covering too much of the window, as the curtains will frame the window rather than cover it. This allows natural light to become a beautiful feature of the room, making it feel brighter and more spacious.
Hotel Feel with Double Curtain Poles/Rods
You can also hang curtains in double layers on curtain poles/rods to create a luxurious hotel feel! Opt for double curtain poles/rods and pair them with double brackets so you can mount two poles/rods in parallel on the same bracket. Add curtain rings and hooks for a complete hotel-style setup, allowing you to easily open and close the curtains whenever needed.
Tip!
Do you want to install curtain poles/rods in your corner windows? Add a smart corner bend to join two curtain poles/rods together. The bend can be adjusted up to 90 degrees.
