Do you want your window to look rich and elegant? If your answer is yes, then installing double curtain rods is a perfect choice for you.
Double curtain rods have become popular in the US since 2004 and continually to dominate over the other types of curtain rods for the past few years. This is due to its very unique design. It allows hanging two different curtains together in one window area. You can vary the color combination of your curtains depending on your taste.

This thin fabric curtain allows some light to pass thru during the day. However, for the outer rod, they prefer to place decorative and colorful thick fabric which makes your window area looks good and beautiful in design. Now, let’s take a closer look as to how double curtain rods look like.

Another bracket holds the two rods on the other end. Generally, the gap or clearance between these two rods is approximately 2 inches. The materials are normally made up of metal, plastic, and wood which have so many sizes, styles, and designs to choose from.
