Rods & Hardware

The collection includes adjustable metal curtain rods in brass, matte black, and brushed nickel finishes, ranging from 48" to 144" in width. Wall-mount and ceiling-mount brackets, double-rod sets for layered window treatments, decorative finials in ball, spear, and capped styles, and rod-pocket sleeves round out the range.

Diameter depends on panel weight—a 1" or 1.25" rod suits lightweight panels like sheers or cotton blends, while full-weight linen calls for 1.5" and heavy blackout-lined or velvet panels work with a 2" rod. For width, measure your window and add 6–12" on each side to allow for natural panel drape past the frame. When selecting an adjustable rod, aim for your target width to fall comfortably in the middle of the range rather than at either end.

Rods and hardware make sense as the starting point when you already own panels and need new hardware, when you're installing for the first time with your window measurements in hand, or when you want to update a finish to match new wall paint or trim. If you don't have panels yet, start with curtains—choose the fabric and length first, then select the rod sized to match.

Mount brackets 4–6" above the window trim—the higher the bracket, the taller the window appears—and 4–12" outside the frame on each side to make the window appear wider. Use a stud finder for heavier rod-and-panel combinations and heavy-duty wall anchors for drywall installations without studs. Each rod includes mounting hardware sized to its weight rating.

The finish should ideally match other metal fixtures in the room—door handles, light fixtures—for a coordinated feel. Beyond that, brass reads warm and traditional, pairing well with natural linen, ivory, and taupe. Matte black is modern and high-contrast, working well with white, charcoal, and jewel tones. Brushed nickel is the most neutral of the three and works across most color palettes.

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh cleaners on brass and matte black finishes, which can strip the coating over time. Re-tighten brackets and finials annually as vibration can loosen them gradually, and replace rubber or felt stoppers if rod sliding becomes noisy.

Choose rod finishes that match other metal fixtures in your room—door handles, light fixtures—for visual cohesion. Brass pairs beautifully with natural linens and warm neutrals; matte black works with whites, charcoals, and jewel tones; brushed nickel coordinates with most color palettes. Install hardware 4–6" above the window frame and 4–12" outside the frame to make windows appear larger. Pair with Quince linen curtainscurtains, cotton curtains, or specialty fabrics for a complete, coordinated window treatment.
