Wood or Metal Curtain Poles – Which Is Best for You

Helping You Make the Right Choice

Curtain poles are often an afterthought, but they can make such a big difference to the overall look of your new curtains. As a trusted designer and supplier of curtains and curtain poles in Essex, we know how important it is to bring all elements together for the perfect end result. So, which kind of curtain pole is better: metal or wood? There are a lot of different answers to that question, and we are here to help you make the best choice for your space.

Wood

Whether they are left natural or you choose to have yours painted or stained, wood curtain poles are a classic choice that work in a variety of spaces. Here’s why they are so popular with our customers:

Ideal for Traditional Interiors

Wood is often the go-to choice for those who are hanging new curtains in more traditional or country-style interiors. If you’re going for a cosy, lived-in feel, or have period features that you want to complement, wooden poles will give you that look that you want. We have poles in a wide range of wood colours and finishes, so you can choose one that perfectly complements your space.

Customisable

Wooden poles give you so much scope when it comes to those final decorative touches. If you want to add a touch of traditional craftsmanship to your window dressings, then finials carved or shaped into intricate designs allow you to do just that.

Metal

Metal curtain poles have become more and more popular in recent years, and it is not hard to see why. Here are just a couple of the benefits they have to offer when being used to hang our bespoke curtains:

Perfect for Modern Homes

If your space has a sleek, modern feel with clean lines and a neutral colour palette, metal poles are the perfect choice. Our collection of metal poles includes subtle and statement options, allowing us to help you whether you want your pole to blend in or stand out. With a range of diameters and finishes, you’re sure to find a pole that gives you the contemporary flair that you want.
