What type of curtain rod? (shutters, panels, ceiling, color)

[newhousebuilt]

Hi,

We have a bump out window with trim going from the top of the window to the ceiling in our dining room and were thinking of getting a double curtain rod so that we could have sheers and a colorful curtain.

However, I'm a bit nervous about drilling a hole for the rod into the trim. I was thinking about a ceiling rod, but can't seem to find a nice double curtain rod. Are there any other choices? Thanks in advance.

Why the fuss?
Just drill the holes and mount the brackets. The panels will cover the brackets. And if you choose to do something else in the future (plantation shutters- "hint")- take down the brackets, fill the holes, a little touch up paint, and wala- done, and nobody's the wiser!

What about a spring rod?

You could put two, one for sheers and the other for curtian

They could go from the flats on the side molding to flat.

Look at this positioning. the lower could be closest to the window for the sheer, and the higher for the curtain.

Thanks. I'll show both options to my wife and see what she prefers. I think the spring rod may be a better option, because it doesn't require holes and can be moved pretty easily.

You'd be surprised and it does actually make a difference if you choose the wrong rod over the right rod. Like; Spring Pressure/Tension Rod, Traverse Rod, Flat Metal Rod, Cornice Rod, Decorative Rods. It’s no matter what the theme of your room's décor; you can probably find a mass-manufactured curtain rod with a design that fits.
