Cup Brackets v Metal Brackets on curtain poles

Many of our customers opt for matching cup brackets when purchasing some of the more bespoke curtain poles. 

It is personal choice but as a Designer I feel the metal bracket imparts a more traditional/classic feel to a pole.  If you have brass or chrome door handles, window hardware or a light fitting  - pick this up on your curtain pole brackets to create a link in the room.  It will look like more thought has gone into the scheme and will look more designed.  Metal brackets are more noticeable due to their high shine whereas painted brackets blend in more with the pole.

I also like architrave brackets which are painted to match but are more streamlined. Some of the Byron and Byron ranges and Alison Davies Design curtain poles give you a choice of bracket.

Byron & Byron Florentina Tiara - Now Available to Purchase Online at POLE DESIGN



Pole Design  have been quick off the mark to list the full range including accessories.  These stunning wooden curtain poles are hand crafted with contemporary metallic paint finishes Satin Silver Black, Dark Pearl, Modern Gold and Light Pearl. Each finial is studded with crystals that catch the light and give a glamorous feel to any room whether you live in a semi or a mansion.  Chandelier not compulsory...

If you are not keen on the glitz but love the finishes go for the plainer Modern Ball.

There are also four matching wooden holdbacks and four tassel tiebacks in silky cord to match.

I will shortly be listing the poles with the Decor End Cap and the Decor Cylinder without rings suitable for eyelet curtains.  These geometric shaped finials look great with eyelet curtains.  Did you know that Eyelet curtains were very popular in the 1950's?  There has been a revival of this trend over the last five years and there are no signs of a slowdown.

New range of stunning curtain poles

We shall shortly be listing the new Tiara range of poles from Byron & Byron.

These wooden poles come in 35mm and 45mm diameter and come in four contemporary metallic finishes and are adorned with sparkling crystals.

For those of you that thought Byron only did traditional, think again. The colours available are, satin silver black, dark pearl, modern gold and light pearl.

I can see these curtain poles in a contemporary architect designed house with eyelet curtains or a Georgian country home with triple pleat curtains.

Keep your eye out for these beautifully different poles by Byron . They should be available for sale on the website Pole Design by end of August, beginning of September.
