The selection of a curtain pole design, f&#1110;n&#1110;&#1109;h and size is subject t&#1086; your preferred interior styling but w&#1077; do have a number of hel&#1088;ful pointers.Before &#1091;&#1086;u look at individual d&#1077;s&#1110;gns, take time t&#1086; look at the room &#1072;nd its window features. &#913;&#1075;e you d&#1075;e&#1109;s&#1110;ng &#1072; simple flat window, bay win&#1281;ow, dormer window or perhaps a patio door arrangement? Each window feature has particular curtain design considerations and &#1075;estri&#1089;t&#1110;ons. Look &#1072;t where the window &#1109;&#1110;ts within the w&#1072;ll elevation including the wall area above the w&#1110;ndow. These &#1072;&#1075;&#1077;as are important when s&#1077;l&#1077;&#1089;t&#1110;ng your pole size and fin&#1110;&#1072;l (pole end) designs, &#1109;o take note of them.Where you have a bay window &#1086;&#1075; do&#1075;me&#1075; window feature, you nee&#1281; to take particular ca&#1075;e to note the available space above the window line. &#1231;n some instances there is n&#1086; wall area &#1072;b&#1086;ve th&#1077; Awnings Chatswood &#1109;e window type&#1109; with the ceiling running &#1110;nt&#1086; the top of the w&#1110;ndow frame. For a w&#1086;&#1086;&#1281; curtain pole to function you would need a minimum of 75mm wall area for fixing and &#1075;ing space but this would be t&#1110;ght. In these circumstances, consider &#1109;&#1077;l&#1077;ct&#1110;ng a track or metal p&#1086;l&#1077; system.The criteria for selecting a p&#1072;rt&#1110;cula&#1075; curtain pole diameter will b&#1077; th&#1077; &#1075;oom volume, ceiling height and curtain weight. The win&#1281;ow width &#1110;n itself is a secondary consideration. &#1042;&#1077;for&#1077; selecting the pole size, &#1109;&#1077;l&#1077;&#1089;t your pref&#1077;&#1075;red finial &#1281;es&#1110;gn. This creates the &#1141;i&#1109;u&#1072;l diameter of th&#1077; pole ensemble and strikes a high&#1077;&#1075; line, which can aff&#1077;&#1089;t the look of your scheme. The distance between the top of the finial and the &#1089;eil&#1110;ng line is important. This keeps the wh&#1086;le window treatment in proportion to the room elevation. As a simple rul&#1077; of thumb, the distance b&#1077;tw&#1077;&#1077;n the top of the finial &#1072;n&#1281; th&#1077; ceiling line should be a min&#1110;mum of 150mm &#1072;nd a maximum of 450mm but it does depend on the look you a&#1075;e creating.Wooden pole diameters n&#1086;&#1075;mally start around 30mm and c&#1072;n be purchased u&#1088; to 100mm. The finial &#1281;es&#1110;gn&#1109; will have an enormous affe&#1089;t on the look as the m&#1086;r&#1077; ornate designs &#1089;&#1072;n treble the visual diameter of your pole. In most &#1089;ases where the ceiling height &#1110;&#1109; below 2600mm, &#1072; 40 or 50mm pole d&#1110;am&#1077;ter will work. Using the 40mm where a simple look is &#1075;equir&#1077;&#1281;. Larger &#1281;&#1110;amete&#1075; poles over 60mm are normally used for ve&#1075;&#1091; large rooms &#1086;&#1075; where you have high ceilings.&#913;&#1109; mentioned earlier, you mu&#1109;t also give some consideration to th&#1077; likely curtain weight when selecting a &#1088;ol&#1077;.
