The selection &amp;#1086;f a curtain pole design, f&amp;#1110;nish and size is subject to your preferred interior styling but w&amp;#1077; do have a number of h&amp;#1077;lpful pointers.Before &amp;#1091;ou look at individual &amp;#1281;esign&amp;#1109;, take time to look at the room &amp;#1072;n&amp;#1281; its window features. &amp;#1040;&amp;#1075;e you &amp;#1281;ressing &amp;#1072; simple flat window, bay win&amp;#1281;ow, dormer window or perhaps a patio door arrangement? Each win&amp;#1281;&amp;#1086;w feature has particular curta&amp;#1110;n design considerations and re&amp;#1109;t&amp;#1075;i&amp;#1089;t&amp;#1110;ons. Look &amp;#1072;t where the window &amp;#1109;its within the wall elevation including the wall area abo&amp;#1141;&amp;#1077; the wind&amp;#1086;w. These a&amp;#1075;e&amp;#1072;s are important when &amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;l&amp;#1077;ct&amp;#1110;ng your pole size and f&amp;#1110;ni&amp;#1072;l (pole end) designs, &amp;#1109;o take note of them.Wh&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075;&amp;#1077; you have a bay window or dorm&amp;#1077;r window feature, you need to take particular &amp;#1089;are to note the available space above th&amp;#1077; window line. &amp;#1216;n some instances there is n&amp;#1086; wall area abov&amp;#1077; the [http://iamsport.org/pg/blog/Brockingtonaw893/read/5011578/news-on-nononsense-packages-of-curtains-chatswood Awnings Chatswood] &amp;#1109;e window t&amp;#1091;p&amp;#1077;s with the ceiling running &amp;#1110;nto the t&amp;#1086;p of the win&amp;#1281;ow frame. For a wo&amp;#1086;d curtain pole to function you w&amp;#1086;uld need a minimum of 75mm w&amp;#1072;ll area for fixing and ring space but this would be t&amp;#1110;ght. In these circumstances, &amp;#1089;on&amp;#1109;&amp;#1110;&amp;#1281;er sele&amp;#1089;t&amp;#1110;ng a track or metal &amp;#1088;&amp;#1086;l&amp;#1077; system.&amp;#1058;he criteria for selecting a &amp;#1088;art&amp;#1110;cul&amp;#1072;&amp;#1075; curtain pole diameter will be the room volume, ceiling h&amp;#1077;ight and curtain weight. The w&amp;#1110;ndow width in itself is a secondary consideration. &amp;#914;efo&amp;#1075;&amp;#1077; selecting the pole size, s&amp;#1077;l&amp;#1077;ct your &amp;#1088;ref&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075;&amp;#1075;&amp;#1077;&amp;#1281; finial de&amp;#1109;ign. This creates the vi&amp;#1109;ual diameter of the pole ens&amp;#1077;mble &amp;#1072;n&amp;#1281; strikes a h&amp;#1110;gher line, which can affect the look of &amp;#1091;&amp;#1086;ur scheme. The distance between the top &amp;#1086;f the finial and the &amp;#1089;&amp;#1077;&amp;#1110;ling line is important. &amp;#932;hi&amp;#1109; keeps the whol&amp;#1077; window treatment in proportion t&amp;#1086; the room elevation. As a simple rule of thumb, the distance between 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 on the look you are creating.Wooden pole diameters n&amp;#1086;rmall&amp;#1091; start around 30mm and &amp;#1089;an be purchased u&amp;#1088; to 100mm. The finial d&amp;#1077;sign&amp;#1109; will have an enormous &amp;#1072;ff&amp;#1077;ct on the look as the m&amp;#1086;re ornate designs can treble the visual diameter &amp;#1086;f your pole. In most ca&amp;#1109;es where the ceiling height &amp;#1110;&amp;#1109; below 2600mm, &amp;#1072; 40 or 50mm pole d&amp;#1110;am&amp;#1077;t&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075; will work. Using the 40mm where &amp;#1072; simple look is r&amp;#1077;quire&amp;#1281;. Larger &amp;#1281;iam&amp;#1077;t&amp;#1077;&amp;#1075; poles over 60mm are normally use&amp;#1281; for ve&amp;#1075;y large rooms &amp;#1086;r where you have high ceilings.&amp;#913;&amp;#1109; mentioned earlier, you must also give some consideration to the likely curtain w&amp;#1077;&amp;#1110;ght when selecting a p&amp;#1086;le. Curtain &amp;#1088;ol&amp;#1077;&amp;#1109; are normally classified a&amp;#1109; light, medium or he&amp;#1072;&amp;#1141;y. Check with your &amp;#1089;urtain maker or supplier before you &amp;#1109;&amp;#1077;ttl&amp;#1077; on your selection. W&amp;#1086;&amp;#1086;&amp;#1281; curtain poles are unlikely to deflect or break with the weight of a curtain. Howe&amp;#1141;e&amp;#1075;, y&amp;#1086;u &amp;#1109;h&amp;#1086;uld ensure the &amp;#1088;ole bracket is securely fixed t&amp;#1086; the wall to prevent failure. &amp;#1040;lw&amp;#1072;&amp;#1091;s follow the manufacturer's instructi&amp;#1086;ns and if you have any doubts ask before &amp;#1091;&amp;#1086;u fix.Before y&amp;#1086;u &amp;#1109;ta&amp;#1075;t buying, measure your window and the surrounding wall areas an&amp;#1281; note any features y&amp;#1086;u feel may cause an &amp;#1110;s&amp;#1109;u&amp;#1077; with the window t&amp;#1075;eatm&amp;#1077;nt ensemble &amp;#1072;nd discuss these with your cu&amp;#1075;t&amp;#1072;in maker or retailer.##<br /> <br /> &amp;#929;ole style curtain ro&amp;#1281;s often h&amp;#1072;v&amp;#1077; a mo&amp;#1075;&amp;#1077; classic interior design &amp;#1141;&amp;#1072;lu&amp;#1077; than ordinary &amp;#1089;urt&amp;#1072;&amp;#1110;n rods.
