When decorating your child’s room, curtain rods can easily add a lot of style and color. Whether you have one window or several, it is very easy to add curtain rods.
First, you need to decide what style of curtain rod you want. What kind of curtains are you going to use? If you want to go with a tabbed curtain or are going to use rings, round curtain rods are best so the curtains slide easily. If the curtains are going to be stationary, you might want to use a more decorative rod, such as a twisted rod or rope style rod. If the rod is not going to show, keep it simple with a round rod.
What finials should you use? Finials are the decorative pieces that go on the end of the curtain rod. They vary from very simple to very decorative. Simple finials could be balls. More decorative could match the theme of your room. For example, a cowboy room needs horseshoes. A princess room might need a star. An animal themed room might like an animal shaped finial. If you are going to use a curtain that covers your curtain rod, you might want a decorative finial since that’s all that’s going to be seen.
The next decision is finish or color. This one is probably a little easier of a choice. You can choose a specific color to match the walls or something in the room, like a bed comforter or a decorative item. Or you could do a flat black if you don’t want it to stand out. It also depends on the color of your painted walls. If you have white walls, a bright color might look great with your room. Look at your curtains and the other items in your room and decide on a finish that will match or complement them.
