Decorative curtain
rods with a large ball finial on each end can turn an ordinary curtain rod into a modern one or make your room look more formal and elegant. Even casual curtains, such as unlined linen or cotton drapes, will look more sophisticated when hung on a decorative curtain rod with ball finials. Finials are functional as well as stylish because they ensure that the curtain panels or drapery clips won't slide off the rod when you open and close them. If you want a contemporary look, choose a decorative curtain rod and finial set that has a black wrought iron or stainless steel finish. For a more traditional look, choose a burnished brass or gold finish to set the tone for your room. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Unscrew the finial ball on one side of the decorative curtain rod. Set aside.
2. Slide the curtain panels over the rod through the rod pocket or slide drapery rings over the curtain rod if your panels don't have rod pockets. If using drapery rings, clip onto the curtain panels every 4 to 6 inches.
3. Screw on the ball to the end of the decorative curtain rod until snug. Arrange the curtain panels so they hang evenly across the curtain rod.
