This curtain pole can be cut down to size using a small hacksaw, with the excess being taken from the straight end of each pole half. If you then hang your curtains on the side of the window, while making sure they cover the frames, that will create an illusion that makes your window appear bigger. For example, light and bright curtains make a room feel larger and more open, whereas dark and heavy ones can make it feel smaller and cosier. As well as oozing designer chic and being of classic French style, this type of metal curtain pole is very effective for insulating against draughts and blocking light coming in down the sides of the window or door. This stylish, well-made room darkening curtain pole is one of our best sellers, gaining many 5 star product reviews.

Room Darkening Metal Extendable Curtain Pole - Dunelm

We have everything from single to triple rod combinations, in different materials, with or without finials. Styled in a choice of sophisticated finishes, this curtain pole is available in a range of sizes to suit your requirements. On the other hand, if you want it to be more of a statement piece – get it in a contrasting colour with flashy finials.Much in the same way, placing the pole too close to your window's top edge will make the window appear smaller. Our French style poles are not suitable for use with a single curtain as the curtain will not draw passed the centre bracket. This specially designed pole is ideally used with blackout eyelet curtains to ensure optimal results. You just mount the brackets on each side of your window, then you pull the curtain pole to the desired length and put it up.
