Curtain Brackets

It is hard to imagine but windows as we know them now with transparent glass are a relatively recent invention. While the glass in windows was known since Ancient Rome, it became available for ordinary homes only in mid mid-17th century. And even then they were regarded as luxury and even a tax for them was imposed in England in 1696.  Luckily those days are gone and you do not have to bar your windows to decrease the financial burden.

Modern design however poses other difficulties. Despite not being a marker of wealth the window dressing is the icing on the cake of a cosy interior. Whatever your budget is you will never sacrifice the drapes (the wife will not allow it).

When the choice of the fabric and hues is completed the last but not least step must follow - the mounting. The rod is a pretty straightforward option as it remains unseen. Brackets, on the other hand, must play in harmony with drapes and not outshine them.

These days. Apart from traditional metal or wooden options leather straps are on the rise. Especially if touch boho style in your home.

DIY Curtain Rod Bracket Ideas. Why don t they work for everyone?

Want to save some money on window drapes? If you are in search of a fast and budget-friendly solution  DIY tutorials seem like an easy way out. However, there are some drawbacks to consider before you open up your tool kit:

1.  Safety: DIY  ideas usually do not take into account the quality of the materials you may have on hand. Moreover, they tell nothing about the maximum load a bracket can hold.
2.  Durability: improvising with materials seems like a good option. However, it can harm the lifespan of the construction.
3.  Installation. Commercially produced brackets go together with a mounting kit (head screws and anchors). If you do not have a workshop in your garage and are going to use a “what is left” kit, the installation may prove to be more complicated than you expected.

The Best Window Curtain Rod Brackets

Windows open your homes to air and natural light. Without them, we would dwell in boxes. However, no one wants to be constantly on display. That is where curtains come to the rescue. Window cover trends continually fluctuate from luxurious brocade and velvet to minimalistic blackouts and rustic linen. One thing stayed unchanged - the mounting mechanism - a rod and brackets. The rod or the base is an unseen part of the construction and must be as discreet as possible. But brackets, on the other hand, provide some space for creativity.
