Is it better to make curtains with Roman rods? Or with rails? I tell you, Roman rods are definitely the best. The effect of curtains hung with Roman rods is something you can never achieve with rails. No matter how many times you make folds, you can never achieve it. Before you watched this video, did you always think that rails are better than Roman rods? Then you are wrong. This video will subvert your cognition. This issue teaches you how to make good use of Roman rods.

Many decoration bloggers on the Internet are saying that rails are better than Roman rods, including me. I have also recommended that you choose rails before. The most fundamental reason is that most people are afraid that they will make mistakes when installing Roman rods, while rails will hardly make mistakes. So everyone is saying that rails are better. But if you compare the effects, the curtains hung with Roman rods will definitely crush the curtains hung with rails. Let's take a look for you to see more intuitively.

Let's look at the effect of the window screen and curtains. The curtains are hung with Roman rods, and the window screens are hung with tracks. You see, the shape and drape of the window screen hung with tracks are obviously not as good as the curtains hung with Roman rods.

Curtains have only two functions: one is to block light, the other is to look good. The same fabric, light blocking, touch, pattern, color, etc. are all the same, the only difference is the shape. Why do so many people spend a lot of money to shape the curtains? Isn't it just to make the curtains look better? But the shaping will lose its effect after a few washes. It's really better to make a Roman rod, which looks good and doesn't lose its effect.

Friends who pursue aesthetics can choose Roman rods, but when making Roman rods, the following problems need to be avoided in order to make them useful.

1. Roman rods have the problem of light leakage. Making a curtain box can avoid this problem. Look at me, is there any light leakage? As long as you don't open the curtains, you won't see the sunlight until the next day. It is worth noting that the size of the Roman rod installed in the curtain box should be a little wider than the size required by the track. It is recommended to reserve more than 22 cm.

2. The end of the Roman rod must be flat, otherwise the curtain cannot be pulled to the wall, there will be a distance, which is very ugly. If it is flat, like mine, it can be pulled to the wall, which is no different from the track and looks good.

3. The window is too big, the Roman rod is not long enough, or the window is L-shaped or U-shaped and needs a corner. Roman rods are not easy to handle, so you need to ask the curtain owner to help you design the connection. Do you see the corner I made here? Is the connection natural? If you think it looks good, then you are right.
