Simple, functional and beautiful
We all have different needs and preferences when it comes to dressing the windows in our home. But no matter if you are creating 1, 2 or 3-layer solutions you will need hardware like curtain rods, brackets, curtain rod holders and finials.
Our rods come in different colours and diameters so you can pick your favourite that is also suitable for the curtain weight. RÄCKA curtain rod has a smaller diameter than HUGAD curtain rod, but both are extendable so you can adapt them to the width of your window.
BETYDLIG brackets and curtain rod holders also come in different colours to coordinate with the rod of your choice. They can be either ceiling or wall mounted depending on the look you prefer, the impression you want to create in the room as well as the desired function and distance from the windows.
The finials are that small but important detail that add the final touch.
Our finials are interchangeable so you can pick your favourite now and change them as often as you like when it is time for a refresh.
How To Build
- The brackets can be mounted on the wall or the ceiling.
And the position of the curtain rod holder can be adjusted, allowing curtains to be hung either close to the window or farther out. The curtain rods come in two diameters, three lengths and two colours. All are extendable in length. You can complete the expression easily with finials from the IKEA range.
- To create a layered solution, you just need to buy extra rod holders and mount them on the brackets. Then add extra curtain rods.
How To Measure And Plan Your Curtain Solution
Step 1
Consider the length of your curtain.
Do you prefer windowsill length, apron length, floor length or do you want your curtains to softly pool on the floor?
Step 2
Decide on ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted.
Take a good look at your window, its opening and if there is a windowsill, radiator, plants or furniture placement to take into account.
Choose whether you wish to hang curtain rods directly from the ceiling or on the wall. This will determine the curtain length.
- Ceiling-mounted offers better sound absorption, insulation and make the room appear larger.
- Wall-mounted solutions are usually placed about 15 cm (6”) above the window. But it is really up to you to decide the height.
Plan a distance of about 12-15 cm (5-6”) between the curtain and the window/wall, so it does not obstruct the window when pulled to the side.
Step 3
Calculate the width of your curtain rod or rail.
Measure the width of the window. For fabric curtains, add at least 15 cm (6”) on each side so they cover the entire window, and allow the curtains to open fully.
Step 4
Calculate the number of brackets.
Rules for a stable rod or rail:
- Use 2 brackets for curtain rods or rails up to 140 cm (55”).
- Use 3 brackets for curtain rods or rails between 140 and 280 cm (55-1101/4”).
- Use 4 brackets for curtain rods or tracks longer than 280 cm (1101/4”).
Tip:
Are you combining curtains with roller blinds? Add a few centimeters to the width, so the curtains are wider than the blinds.
Good To Know
BETYDLIG brackets are L-shaped and can be attached so the arm becomes longer or shorter, allowing you to adapt the distance between the curtain and window. When the brackets are wall mounted, a longer arm enables up to 3 curtain rod holders, so you can create multiple layers. A shorter arm holds a maximum of 2 rod holders.
The maximum length between 2 brackets is 140 cm (55”). If your solution is longer, add a bracket for every 140 cm (55”). This means use 3 brackets for curtain rods 140–280 cm (55-1101/4”); and 4 brackets for rods between 280–420 cm (1101/4-152”).
Extra curtain rods and curtain rod holders are required to create a layered solution, sold separately.
RÄCKA curtain rod holds up to 5 kg (11 lbs) of curtain weight and HUGAD curtain rod holds up to 10 kg (22 lbs) when placed 140 cm (55”) apart. Always check the max. load of your curtain rod to secure that it can bear the weight of the curtain.
When the brackets are ceiling mounted, you can choose any arm length to adapt the distance between the curtain and window, but you can only mount 1 curtain rod holder.
The curtain rods come in two diameters, 19 mm (3/4”) and 28 mm (11/8”) and are available in different lengths and colours. All are extendable in length. You can complete the expression with interchangeable finials from the IKEA range.
BETYDLIG brackets and curtain rod holders carry max. 10 kg (22 lbs) when placed 140 cm (55”) apart and the weight of the curtain is evenly distributed over the curtain rod.
