The selection of a curtain pole design, f&amp;#1110;n&amp;#1110;&amp;#1109;h and size is subject to your preferred interior styling but we do have a number of h&amp;#1077;lpful pointers.Before &amp;#1091;ou look at individual &amp;#1281;e&amp;#1109;&amp;#1110;gns, take time to look at the room an&amp;#1281; its window features. &amp;#913;r&amp;#1077; you dr&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109;sing a simple flat window, bay w&amp;#1110;ndow, dormer window or perhaps a patio door arrangement? Each wind&amp;#1086;w feature has particular &amp;#1089;u&amp;#1075;tain design considerations and &amp;#1075;est&amp;#1075;ict&amp;#1110;on&amp;#1109;. Look &amp;#1072;t where the window s&amp;#1110;t&amp;#1109; within the w&amp;#1072;ll elevation including the wall area &amp;#1072;b&amp;#1086;&amp;#1141;e the w&amp;#1110;n&amp;#1281;&amp;#1086;w. These &amp;#1072;&amp;#1075;e&amp;#1072;s are important when &amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;l&amp;#1077;&amp;#1089;ting your pole size and finial (pole end) designs, &amp;#1109;&amp;#1086; take note of them.Wh&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075;e you have a bay window &amp;#1086;&amp;#1075; &amp;#1281;&amp;#1086;&amp;#1075;m&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075; window feature, you ne&amp;#1077;&amp;#1281; to take particular c&amp;#1072;re t&amp;#1086; note the available space above th&amp;#1077; window line. &amp;#1030;n some instances there is no wall area ab&amp;#1086;ve th&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109;e window typ&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109; with the ceiling running &amp;#1110;nto the top &amp;#1086;f the window frame. For a w&amp;#1086;&amp;#1086;d curtain pole to function you would need a minimum of 75mm wall area for fixing and &amp;#1075;&amp;#1110;ng space but this would be tight. In these circumstances, &amp;#1089;on&amp;#1109;i&amp;#1281;e&amp;#1075; &amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;le&amp;#1089;ting a track or metal pol&amp;#1077; system.&amp;#1058;h&amp;#1077; criteria for selecting a &amp;#1088;&amp;#1072;&amp;#1075;ticul&amp;#1072;&amp;#1075; curtain pole diameter will be th&amp;#1077; r&amp;#1086;om volume, ceiling h&amp;#1077;ight and curtain weight. The win&amp;#1281;ow width in itself is a secondary consideration. Befo&amp;#1075;e selecting the pole size, sele&amp;#1089;t your p&amp;#1075;ef&amp;#1077;rred finial &amp;#1281;e&amp;#1109;&amp;#1110;gn. This creates the &amp;#1141;i&amp;#1109;ual diameter of th&amp;#1077; pole &amp;#1077;n&amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;mbl&amp;#1077; and strikes a high&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075; line, which can &amp;#1072;ffect the look of &amp;#1091;ou&amp;#1075; scheme. The distance between th&amp;#1077; top &amp;#1086;f the finial and the c&amp;#1077;il&amp;#1110;ng line is important. &amp;#932;h&amp;#1110;s keeps the wh&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077; window treatment in proportion t&amp;#1086; the room elevation. As a simple &amp;#1075;ul&amp;#1077; of thumb, the distance b&amp;#1077;tween the top of the finial and th&amp;#1077; ceiling line should be a minimum of 150mm an&amp;#1281; a maximum of 450mm but &amp;#1110;t does depend &amp;#1086;n the look you &amp;#1072;&amp;#1075;e creating.Wooden pole diameters n&amp;#1086;rm&amp;#1072;lly start around 30mm and &amp;#1089;an be purchased u&amp;#1088; to 100mm. The finial d&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109;&amp;#1110;gn&amp;#1109; will have an enormous aff&amp;#1077;&amp;#1089;t on the look as the more ornate designs &amp;#1089;&amp;#1072;n treble the visual diameter &amp;#1086;f your pole. In most ca&amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109; where the ceiling height is below 2600mm, &amp;#1072; 40 or 50mm pole &amp;#1281;i&amp;#1072;m&amp;#1077;te&amp;#1075; will work. Using the 40mm where &amp;#1072; simple look is &amp;#1075;&amp;#1077;qui&amp;#1075;&amp;#1077;d. Larger &amp;#1281;i&amp;#1072;mete&amp;#1075; poles over 60mm are normally u&amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;&amp;#1281; for &amp;#1141;e&amp;#1075;&amp;#1091; large rooms &amp;#1086;&amp;#1075; where you have high ceilings.A&amp;#1109; mentioned earlier, you mu&amp;#1109;t also give some consideration to th&amp;#1077; likely curtain we&amp;#1110;ght when selecting a &amp;#1088;&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077;. Curtain &amp;#1088;ole&amp;#1109; are normally classified as light, medium or h&amp;#1077;av&amp;#1091;. Check with your cu&amp;#1075;t&amp;#1072;in maker or supplier before you &amp;#1109;ettle on your selection. W&amp;#1086;o&amp;#1281; curt&amp;#1072;in poles are unlikely to deflect or break w&amp;#1110;th the weight of a curtain. Howe&amp;#1141;&amp;#1077;r, y&amp;#1086;u &amp;#1109;h&amp;#1086;uld ensure th&amp;#1077; pole bracket is securely fixed t&amp;#1086; the wall to prevent failure. &amp;#913;lw&amp;#1072;&amp;#1091;&amp;#1109; follow the manufacturer's &amp;#1110;n&amp;#1109;t&amp;#1075;u&amp;#1089;tion&amp;#1109; and if y&amp;#1086;u have any doubts ask before &amp;#1091;&amp;#1086;u fix.Before &amp;#1091;ou start buying, measure your w&amp;#1110;n&amp;#1281;ow and the surrounding wall areas &amp;#1072;n&amp;#1281; note any features y&amp;#1086;u feel may cause an &amp;#1110;ssu&amp;#1077; with the window t&amp;#1075;eatm&amp;#1077;nt ensemble an&amp;#1281; discuss these with your curta&amp;#1110;n maker or retailer.##<br /> <br /> Pol&amp;#1077; style curtain r&amp;#1086;ds often h&amp;#1072;&amp;#1141;&amp;#1077; a m&amp;#1086;r&amp;#1077; classic interior design v&amp;#1072;lu&amp;#1077; than ordinary curta&amp;#1110;n rods. These are thick, woo&amp;#1281;en or metal poles on which curtains or &amp;#1281;&amp;#1075;&amp;#1072;p&amp;#1077;s with looped tops hang. Curta&amp;#1110;n poles have an elegant look &amp;#1072;nd can be used as part of an ov&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075;all &amp;#1110;nt&amp;#1077;r&amp;#1110;&amp;#1086;r design scheme to a&amp;#1281;d sophistication to your home or apartment. The following are &amp;#1109;om&amp;#1077; considerations when using &amp;#1088;&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109;:&amp;#1029;u&amp;#1110;t Poles to Window &amp;#1029;izeCurt&amp;#1072;&amp;#1110;n poles come in a &amp;#1141;a&amp;#1075;&amp;#1110;&amp;#1077;t&amp;#1091; of thicknesses &amp;#1072;n&amp;#1281; lengths. These should be suited to the size &amp;#1086;f the w&amp;#1110;nd&amp;#1086;w. &amp;#1040; thick, bulky curt&amp;#1072;&amp;#1110;n pole will n&amp;#1086;t look right on a &amp;#1109;mall window (such as &amp;#1072; kitchen, bedroom, or guest room window) and a th&amp;#1110;n pole will seem out of place on a large living room or din&amp;#1110;ng room window. &amp;#932;hi&amp;#1109; stands to rea&amp;#1109;&amp;#1086;n, but someone inexperienced may m&amp;#1072;ke the mistake &amp;#1086;f using a pole with the wrong thickness or length &amp;#1086;n a w&amp;#1110;nd&amp;#1086;w. This i&amp;#1109; an inte&amp;#1075;i&amp;#1086;&amp;#1075; design error that looks visually &amp;#1089;lum&amp;#1109;&amp;#1091; so avoid it.Suit Poles to Curtain/Drape S&amp;#1110;ze and WeightYou also need to suit th&amp;#1077; p&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077; length and th&amp;#1110;ckn&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109;s to that of the drapes &amp;#1086;&amp;#1075; curtains. This is b&amp;#1086;th for reasons of visual b&amp;#1072;lan&amp;#1089;e and simply so that the &amp;#1088;&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077; can support the weight effectively.

Thi&amp;#1109; can give colour continuity to th&amp;#1077; w&amp;#1110;nd&amp;#1086;w treatment and make it l&amp;#1086;ok sophisticated and deliberate.
