Do you have any little performers at home?  Most kids love to sing and dance.  I got this from a customer and thought it was a great idea.



The arched curtain rod is secured at the walls with end mount brackets.  A ceiling bracket is used in the middle to hold the rod in place.  Choose your finish and you are done. 

        

Introducing four new finishes!  We have hammered copper, graphite, antique white and champagne.  We also changed how we sell our finish samples.  They are still $5 each (which includes shipping), but you can now receive credit towards your order if you return them.  We also lowered the cost of our sample ring to $40.

        

                                   

Your home theater needs red velvet curtains!  You can hang a rod above your projection screen and let the curtains hang to the sides or pull them back with holdbacks.  Or you can cover an entire wall with them.  In this case, order a round rod in a size that works with your curtains and two end caps.  These allow you to butt the end caps against the wall so the whole wall is covered with no gaps. 

If you want the curtains to cover multiple walls, go with a corner curtain rod so there is no breaks in the curtains.  You can pull curtains over the brackets for a finished look.

Overstock.com usually has some very reasonable priced red velvet curtains.  You can also check out JC Penney, Pottery Barn and Bed Bath and Beyond.

I thought this was an awesome way to use a curtain rod and to decorate a wall.  This blogger hung the curtain rod and then the pictures as normal with nails.  Then she put strips of ribbon hanging down from the rod and behind the pictures.

Remember that brackets are included with our rods, so to complete this look, you only need to order one rod and two curtain rod finials.  Chose a finish that matches or complements your frames.

        

The great thing about our custom curtain rods is that they can go anywhere.  They can be as long as you need, stretching across several windows or a whole room.  They can bend and be placed on any bay window or curved wall or arched window.  They can be put in any corner at any angle for a bay window or a wall corner.

                            

Extra long curtain rods can be ordered and shipped in several sections.  They connect using a connector that is provided and finished in the same finish.  With the round rod, the connector goes inside the rod and is hidden by brackets (also included).  After they are hung, no one will ever know that it isn't one long curtain rod.

Corner curtain rods work the same way.  A connector, welded at the correct angle, is included with your rods.  So you simply stick the connector in the two rods and hang with brackets.

Arched curtain rods are bent to your specifications.  If too large for shipping, they might be spliced as well.  But, as with the others, a connector is included and the splice is hidden with brackets.

We can also do any custom job you have.  Please call us or email us today.

        

Trying to figure out how to hang curtains around several French doors in a row is challenging.  You can't hang curtains over the middle doors because there's nowhere to push the curtains.  If you don't want to leave the wall void of curtains all together, you can hang stationary, decorative curtains in between the sets of French doors.  You add tons of interest and color but nothing is in the way of opening and closing any of the French doors.

A great way to hang stationary curtains is to use stem holdbacks.  They came in a variety of styles and you can even build-your-own using different finials.  You could also buy very short curtain rods with finials.  A large rod, such as the 2" round rod, with 9516 finials would look great since the rods are so short.  All of this can be purchased online in any of our 15 finishes. 

        

Made of Metal Curtain Rods is only a section of Made of Metal, who manufactures ornamental railing, fence, furniture and support brackets.  We sell our granite support brackets online nationwide and have several styles and sizes.  And they are all available in any of our 15 custom finishes.  They are made from heavy duty steel and can be used in stud walls, cabinetry or masonry.

Want to make a frugal and easy headboard?  Or maybe you want to add color to your bedroom but can't paint because you are a renter?  Use a curtain rod and center it behind your bed at the desired height.  Hang your choice of curtains to add tons of color!  You could also use a cafe rod and eliminate the need for finials and brackets. 

You could also drape a quilt over the curtain rod like Martha Stewart did here.
