Is it better to use Roman rods for curtains? Or is it better to make tracks? Senior designers will tell you the answer

Is it better to use Roman rods for curtains? Or is it better to make tracks? Let me tell you, the Roman pole must look the best. The effect of hanging curtains with Roman rods is something you can never achieve if you hang them with rails. No matter how many folds are made, it cannot be achieved. Before you watched this video of mine, did you always think that tracks were better than Roman poles? Then you are wrong, this video will subvert your knowledge. This issue teaches you how to make good use of Roman poles.

Many decoration bloggers on the Internet are saying that rails are better than Roman poles, including me, who have also recommended everyone to choose rails before. The most fundamental reason is that most people are afraid that they will step on pits when installing Roman poles, while they will almost never step on pits when installing rails. So everyone is saying that the track is good. But if you compare the effect, the effect of curtains hung by Roman rods will definitely beat the effect of curtains hung by rails. It will be more intuitive for everyone to see.

Let\’s look at the effect of this window screen and curtains. The curtains are hung with Roman rods, and the window screens are hung with tracks. You see, the shape and drape of track-hung window screens are obviously not as good as Roman rod-hung curtains.

Curtains have only two functions, one is to block light and the other is beautiful. The same fabric, shading, feel, pattern, The colors are all the same, the only difference is the shape. Why do so many people pay high prices to have the curtains shaped? Isn’t it just to make the curtains look better? But after several washes, the shape is not as effective. Make a Roman pole that looks good but doesn’t fail.

If you are looking for good looks, you can choose a Roman pole, but you need to avoid the following problems to make it useful.

1. Roman poles have a light leakage problem. Making a curtain box can avoid this problem very well. Look at me here. Will there be light leakage? As long as you don\’t open the curtains, you won\’t be able to see the sun until the next day. It\’s worth noting.What is interesting is that the size of the Roman rod installed inside the curtain box is a little wider than the size required for the track. It is recommended to reserve more than 22 cm.

2. The end of the Roman rod must be flat, otherwise the curtain will not be able to be pulled to the wall, and there will be a distance. Very ugly. If it is made flat like here, it can be pulled close to the wall. It is no different from the one made of rails. It looks good.

3. The window is too large, the Roman pole is not long enough, or the window is L-shaped or U-shaped and needs to be cornered. Roman rods are not easy to handle. At this time, you need to ask the curtain boss to help you design the connection. Look at the turns I made here, do they connect naturally? If you think it looks good, then you are right to do it.
