Wooden v Metal Poles

Wooden vs Metal Poles – which should you choose?

Are you finding yourself in a dilemma over the seemingly endless curtain pole options? Don’t worry, we’ve put together some points to consider to help you decide which pole would be best suited for your interior.

The first and probably most obvious point to consider is the aesthetics. What style is your interior and which pole would look the best in the space? Below we discuss some interior décor styles and the pole style we would suggest in that situation…

MODERN, SLEEK INTERIORS

We think for the modern style interiors, a metal pole is the way to go. With its smooth, shiny surface, and glitzy; as well as minimalist finial options you’re sure to find something just right to complement your interiors.

MODERN, SLEEK INTERIORS

Bold and luxurious aesthetics also work well with metal poles as the metallic finish complements the curtains and soft furnishings with its lustrous elegance. Whether you prefer an understated or bold look; the choice is all yours with our wide range of metal pole finial options!

Traditional

We always suggest that traditional style interiors call for a wooden pole. The classic look of wooden curtain poles always works well with traditional furnishings as they won’t clash with the fabrics and are always timeless.

Relaxed, Country Style

A wooden pole is perfect for country style interiors as it helps bring in a homey and cozy feel with the natural element. The soft, neutral hues from our wooden pole ranges look great with country style soft furnishings and create an aesthetically pleasing balance when contrasting patterned fabric to a solid colour pole.
