If you’ve hung curtains before, you know there’s more that goes into a perfect curtain setup than the curtains themselves.
An essential part of the curtain-hanging process is finding the right Curtain bracket to hold your rods in place and complete the look.
Here’s everything you need to know about the different types of curtain brackets and how to choose the right ones for your window.
Curtain Bracket Styles
Curtain nibbrackets come in different sizes, colors and materials. The brackets you choose will largely depend on personal preference and the style of curtains you want to hang.
Consider what kind of look you want to achieve with your curtain setup. Do you want your curtains to be understated and purely functional? Or do you want to make a bold statement with bright, colorful curtains that demand attention?
Brackets come in many materials, including metal, ceramic, plastics and wood. Metal is a common material because it’s durable, strong and blends into the background. If you’re looking to make a statement, certain types of plastics and polyresins give off a regal appearance.
Curtain Bracket Sizes
Curtain rod brackets typically come in 5/8” and 1” widths.
5/8” bracket cup sizes are best for sheer or lighter curtains. They fit curtain rods that are 1/2 to 5/8 inches in diameter.
1” bracket cup sizes are ideal for thicker curtains or heavy drapes. They will hold curtain rods that are 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter.
