Curtain poles

8 years ago

Could you tell me where you sourced your curtain poles and rings from please-I'd like similar in my own flat. They're such a discreet design feature in their own right. Would you say they can hand a heavier fabric than one would imagine being so slim? Thanks so much. Gorgeous flat-especially the living room the wall fabric is stunning!!!

Hello hesterdawson - the poles are wrought iron and supported in the centre so they can take quite a weight. I sourced them with my curtain maker - do email me jessica@jessicabuckley.co.uk if you would like us to help you with finding something suitable for your place - we'd be delighted to help.

Best wishes,

Jessica

Wooden batten for curtain poles!

The height of the rail above the window is developing into a bit of a hot topic, so here’s my hat in the ring. For heavy curtains or wide curtains with lots of material, the pole needs the strength of screw fixings provided by screwing into the concrete lintel above the window. If the wall is a stud wall, the pole needs to hit the wooden batons in the wall and this can determine where you can screw the pole to the wall, hence giving you less choice on pole position or you are relying on cavity fixings alone to take the weight of the curtains and pole. Mounting it high above the window may miss the lintel and the pole may only work with lightweight voiles and be far more likely to fall off wall as mountings fail with time ( hence comments by others of damaged plaster). The baton allows you to fix the pole at any point above the window as the baton is screwed into the batons inside the stud wall and the curtain pole fittings can be screwed anywhere along the baton. Your photos show more traditional brick and plaster walls? This gives the option of no baton if your fixings are into the brickwork with raw plugs and not just in crumbling plaster. The height is up to you. BUT have you found your ideal curtains yet? A smart choice of height would be to ensure the standard full length curtain lengths will work with your pole. Otherwise you will have to have more expensive made to measure curtains to ensure the full length curtains you love will skim the floor. We have bought the curtains we love in the past and used them to guide pole height to ensure they looked fantastic. Of course on the design options on full length curtains meeting the floor is another minefield - skimming, touching or pooling ....... good luck!

A blind would be a better option. Either Roman blinds, roller blinds or slatted wooden blinds, depending on your taste in decor.

We’ve recently had a French style curtain pole made for our room, albeit straight rather than on a bay. But worth talking to someone about options. The main thing for us was not wanting any support in the middle, and we have achieved that. We went to Smithy Ironworks and have a lovely black pole which doesn’t come too far out from the window frame. There are other places that make poles for bay windows. Just a thought, would go nicely with your fireplace.
