When you’ve spent a long time choosing your fabric and getting your curtains right it’s important to consider the curtain pole or track you would like to use carefully.

Why choose curtain poles?

Why choose curtain poles?

The finishing touches to a room can complete the design scheme and curtain poles can be one of these important accessories. Curtain poles are visible above the curtains so it’s important to choose a style to suit your interior.

In a variety of different colours and styles the possibilities are endless, whether you’re looking for a metal finish, natural wood or painted pole we offer something for everyone in contemporary and traditional styles.

Creating a contemporary look

Creating a contemporary look

Sleek metal poles can create a more contemporary feel when hanging your curtains. The Neo pole range comes in a variety of sizes with a range of complimentary finials to add a touch of glitz and glamour to your interior. For a more understated contemporary feel why not team your curtains with one of our Just Fab Metal poles.

Creating a traditional look

There are so many wooden poles to choose from in a variety of colours and styles giving a more traditional look to your interior. The Just Fab Basic poles are a brilliant cost-effective solution and bridge the gap between contemporary and traditional, in muted pastel colours they will not detract from your curtains. For a more traditional feel why not try the Pantheon pole with its beautiful decorative finials.

Why choose curtain tracks?

Curtain Tracks provide a discrete method of hanging curtains, they are not usually seen above the curtains when install. If you prefer the curtains to be the focal point without adding the additional decorative element of the pole, then this option would be the right for you. This allows the curtains to be ‘the star of the show’.

Tracks are not suitable for tab top and eyelet curtains; a pole would need to be used for these curtain headings. Further to this although Pinch Pleat curtains can be hung on a track we would recommend using a pole as these then stack back neatly and look better when the curtains are open. Wave headed curtains would need to use a specific wave track or pole. The Metropole is a track designed for wave curtains that has the appearance of a pole.

Tracks are often used for bay windows as you can purchase tracks which can be bent to accommodate the curve of the window. There are poles available for bay windows, although they are usually more difficult to install.
