How do you hang curtains with brackets?

Curtain brackets are installed with screwdrivers, above the window. Curtains should then be placed on the rods. Once on the rod, the rod can be placed onto the brackets, with the curtains in place.

How many curtain brackets do I need?

Most windows will require three curtain brackets; one on each end of the window and one in the middle. However, if the window is very long you should consider adding one or two more, for stability.

How far apart should curtain brackets be?

As a general rule in Australia, most people place curtain brackets just less than a metre apart. If the curtain you are intending on hanging is very heavy, you can put the brackets closer together.

Where should brackets go when hanging curtains?

Brackets should be placed just above or on the window frame. They should be placed around 10 cm away from the edge of the window so that the opened curtain has room to sit. If you want to make your window appear larger, you can place the brackets further away from the edge of the window.

Anyone with an eye for detail will understand that sometimes the little things make the biggest difference and this truth definitely applies to curtain brackets. While they do not catch the eye in a direct way, they are integral to a curtain setup and must be sturdy, reliable and easy to install. ArchiPro has chosen the best quality curtain brackets available in Australia so that you don't have to invest time finding them for yourself. You’ll find both rod and rail curtain tracks that you can rely on, without the need for replacement, here.

Types of curtain brackets

There are a few different types of curtain brackets available (sometimes also referred to as curtain rod holders or curtain holders). Here are the main ones to be aware of:

Single curtain rod brackets

Single curtain rods are the most common type of brackets in Australia that hold a singular rod, for a single layer of curtains.

Double curtain rod brackets

Double curtain brackets allow two rods to be placed simultaneously, for two layers of curtains. This is a popular option in Australia for sheer and heavier curtains that are used together.

Elbow brackets

Elbow curtain brackets allow you to use a curtain continuously around a corner. They can often be adjustable to fit different angles.

The advantages of high-quality curtain brackets

ArchiPro has invested time in finding the best quality curtain brackets available in Australia. High-quality curtain brackets are sturdy and will withstand the weight of both the curtain rod and the curtain itself. This protects your wall from damage and keeps the curtain level. High-quality curtain brackets are also easy to install and allow you to put your curtains up fast, keeping the precious heat in. Additionally, high-quality curtain brackets are stylish and frame your curtains in a way that will complement and enhance their design. They are also made from superior materials, meaning you’ll get greater long-term use out of them.

How to choose curtain brackets that are right for you

The main factor to consider when buying curtain brackets is whether you're planning to have a single or double layer of curtains. If you’re looking at using a single curtain then a single bracket will be the best option. Whereas if you’re looking to layer curtains, then a double bracket will be required. Also, consider the style of the bracket. Styling the bracket to the rod, or curtain will bring strong design cohesion to the system, giving it more impact as a whole. You should also think about them in the context of the interior styling of the room itself so your interior decorating isn’t disrupted.
