curtain rod system?

Posted by Karen Pittman at July 07. 2006


Any curtain rod advice out there? I need a rod or
some way to hang a sheer, floor-to-ceiling curtain
that extends about 11 feet horizontally, is ceiling-
mounted, and which will allow the entire curtain to
be moved to one side. Something that wide usually
needs multiple support points, and the obvious means
of attaching the curtain to its support (rings, tabs,
what have you) will get hung up on supports, preventing
the curtain from being moved completely. Of course
I want very simple, clean lines, but I need it in a
dark color -- bronze, black or raw steel.

Any ideas out there? Especially something I'm likely
to find locally, as I am admittedly an instant-
gratification kind of gal.

Thanks!

These rods from West Elm are nice:

Thanks Jennifer! Great suggestion in terms of style
and finish. But they require support brackets that
will get in the way of moving the curtain completely
to one side, and only extend to 9'. Thanks for the
tip though!

Cheers,

What about hospital track mounted on the ceiling? That can be extended to just about any length and should do the trick. If you don't want the track to be exposed, it can always be trimmed out with something. Try this link, but a quick google search will yield many others.

Yep, something like that is probably the ticket. Now I just need to find the right color. Thanks!
