A coastal-style living room with bright white furniture and turquoise accents.

Ask any homeowner, and they'll tell you that window treatments are a major investment, and one that can have a major impact on the overall look and feel of your space. And if you've gone through the selection process, you know that choosing a pair of curtains is a lot easier said than done. You have to consider color (and undertone, if you're pairing a neutral set with a white or cream wall), texture, and style to ensure that the set you land on melds well with your interior design landscape. But your work isn't over once you settle on the perfect pair—you need to find a curtain rod to hang those curtains from.

Though curtain hardware takes up a small amount of square footage—compared to the actual curtain, that is—rods and finials are no less important than your room's linens. That's why we'd encourage you to look beyond the more utilitarian options. At the end of the day, you can do much better than the drab chrome rod, finished with dated finials that detract from your new, upgraded curtain set. To help you on your search, we rounded up several of our favorite options on the market right now: They're ready for purchase and set to enhance the curtains you hang in just about any room in your home.

From glossy brass iterations that play well with mid-century furniture pieces to matte black options (finished with swirled marble finials!) that speak to your contemporary, monochromatic décor, there's an option for you here—and don't worry, we incorporated several rustic and beach-inspired varieties which are perfect for farmhouses and seaside homes, respectively. Ahead, the coolest curtain rods to suit your style, whatever that may be.
