Poles apart
Poles apart If you think it's time you gave your curtains a new lease of life -
read on to discover the latest innovations
When it comes to choosing how to dress our windows, the first thing we generally think of is whether we want blinds, or curtains. If we choose curtains, the next thing we'll think about is the style, the colour, the fabric, whether we want patterned or plain and how thick or thin they'll be.
Generally the last thing we'll think about is the type of curtain pole we want. But this all too often last minute decision is actually something we should spend more time thinking about, as an inelegant or mismatched pole can turn what should have been a window dressed to kill into a window dressing disaster. So if you've never given poles a thought - or didn't even realise there was much of a choice, you need to try Byron & Byron.
Byron & Byron was set up in the 1980s by Orazio Gualtieri, a 20-something Italian, with a background in the furniture and picture framing industries. The company has a seemingly endless range of curtain pole styles, in many different materials, colours, textures and finishes. From traditional wooden poles to pelmets, there are a huge range of designs incorporating everything from classic finishes and art deco styles to more contemporary looks. There is something to suit everyone, and it is probably impossible not to find something to complement your curtains from their collection.
Byron & Byron are also at the front end of new innovations. The company has realised there has been a trend towards a more minimalist style of furnishing, and the rise in new builds has seen more and more city apartments popping up with large expanses of glass. With new building designs like these, sometimes with windows continuing across the corner of a room, ‘normal sized' curtains and curtain poles are not likely to fit the bill and an alternative needs to be found. This is where the company's electric-powered window treatments come into play.
Perfect for contem¬porary decor, Byron & Byron's new range of powered curtain tracks puts ambiance control at your fingertips, allowing you to adjust light and privacy level of your home with the touch of a button. This electric system is available in several styles, and creates a convenient solution for problem glass areas such as over-sized windows, windows over stairs, or those in rooms with high ceilings. It is even possible to combine all of your window treatments into a single system, so that you can control all with one switch, or to integrate them into multiple devices, including fixed switches and remote controls. Now that's clever - and very swish. contact
