Curtain rods aren’t one-size-fits-all—selecting the right type ensures functionality and enhances your decor. From tension rods to motorized tracks, each style has unique installation requirements.

Hugmoom Curtain breaks down the best rods for your needs and how to install them.


Types of Curtain Rods

1. Standard Rods

  • Best for: Light to medium-weight curtains.

  • Installation: Brackets mounted on walls/window frames.

2. Tension Rods

  • Best for: Rentals or temporary setups.

  • Installation: No tools needed; twists to fit inside window frames.

3. Track Systems

  • Best for: Heavy drapes or bay windows.

  • Installation: Ceiling or wall-mounted with gliders.

4. Double Rods

  • Best for: Layered curtains (sheers + blackout).

  • Installation: Requires sturdy brackets to hold both rods.


Installation Tips by Wall Type

Wall Type Anchor Recommendation Notes
Drywall Plastic anchors or toggle bolts Supports up to 50 lbs
Plaster Toggle bolts Avoid cracking
Studs Wood screws Most secure option
Concrete Masonry anchors Use a hammer drill

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping anchors: Causes rods to sag or fall.

  • Uneven brackets: Leads to crooked curtains.

  • Wrong rod size: Too narrow = gaps; too wide = instability.


Final Thoughts

The right rod and proper installation make all the difference. For premium options, explore Hugmoom’s hardware collection.
