One of the things you will need to hold up your draperies are drapery rods. These can come in different shapes and sizes depending on how large your window opening actually is. You will want to look at Standard & Special Purpose curtain rods depending on how sheer your drapes will be.
Drapery Rods can also match or mismatch your draperies. This can be a good or a bad thing. While at the same time you don’t want something that looks too plain, you also want 2 opposite colors that compliment each other. Lets say you are going with heavy insulated draperies and you want to get rods that will work well with them. You may want to opt for the double drapery rods. And whether you decide to go with wooden drapery rods or a bronze drapery rod will be up to you. Just remember that if its a light color you will want to go dark and vice versa.
You may want to consider the fact that you may have animals that might pose a challenge and jump on your window draperies. A wise decision may be to go with a tension drapery rod or a finial drapery rod so if they pull on it you know it wont fall down so easily. And of course make sure to get the right drapery rod hardware to fit the right one purchased. If you don’t want that hassle they have a drapery rod set at most home and garden type stores. Sometimes you can get some really good deals and discounts during winter months just after the holidays.
Hopefully you already have existing drapery rod brackets that you can reuse. But if they have broken or are just old and brittle, make sure to pick those up while you are out. The older drapery hardware gets, the more brittle and prone to breaking it gets which will be bad if the draperies get damaged.
If you just want to eliminate most of the hassle on your own, then call a professional blinds and window coverings expert to help you with the new draperies you have selected. The installation will be a lot faster in most cases if you allow them to do the job.
