Gotain curtain poles are delivered as complete kits, ready for installation. The package includes wall brackets, poles, rings, and connectors.

Pole 0–350 cm (0-183 in) = rings to hang two curtains in double width or four curtains in single width.

Standard screws and plugs are included. Check before installation if your room requires other types of screws/plugs.

We recommend letting your curtain pole extend about 30 cm (12 in) on each side of the window. This means that if your window is 100–140 cm (39-55 in) wide, a 200 cm (79 in) pole will be perfect! You can find our curtain poles here.

So where should the curtain pole be mounted? We get questions everyday with customers wondering about the placement of their poles, "how should the pole be placed", "how do I fit a curtain pole", "where should I mount the curtain pole", "how high above the window should the curtain pole be" - it makes us so happy that the curtain pole is a star on the rise. And of course we will share our best tips! We recommend placing the pole centered between the top of the window and below the ceiling. This measurement can of course vary in between homes, but it's a good starting point. The higher up the curtain pole is placed, the more spaceous it makes the room feel.

All curtain poles come with brackets with a predecided distance from the wall. On each curtain pole you can read more about the exact distance on which your curtain pole will be.

A curtain pole that is mounted correctly, with a compatible screw and plug for your underlay, has no problem at all handling a blackout curtain, which are our heaviest curtains.

How wide should a curtain pole extend on the sides of a window? To find your perfect length, take the width of your window and add 40-60cm (16-24 in). This makes you get an extension of 20-30cm (8-12 in) on each side of the window, where you can park your curtains.

At Gotain we offer curtain poles in several different styles and dimensions, the thinnest one in black wrought iron. You can find our assortment of curtain poles here!

We often get questions about mounting curtain poles in ceilings, but if you are after a curtain pole look we recommend you mount it on the wall. Bespoke curtains that are to be installed on a curtain pole can only be wall mounted, unfortunately not in the ceiling. Ceiling mounting is best done with curtain tracks, so if you want your curtains to drape from the ceiling we recommend that you check out Gotains curtain tracks!

The key to the most efficient blackout is to think high and wide! The absolutely best result are achieved by mounting you blackout curtains on a ceiling mounted track, that extends along the whole width of the room. Of course you can combine a curtain pole with blackout curtains, but then the blackout effect can be slighly compromosed. Read our blackout-guide for more tips and tricks!

To mount your curtain poles in double layers you need a double bracket, which you can find here. This makes it possible to create a classic hotel look for your curtains, with a more sheer curtain closer to the window for privacy protection and filtering sunlight, and a heavier, blackout curtain facing the room. Here you can find more tips and tricks on how to get that hotel feeling in the bedroom!

Order your curtain pole in the exact measurements you need! Simply specify your desired total length, and we’ll customize the pole to fit perfectly in your home. The pole is delivered as a complete kit with all the accessories needed for easy wall mounting. Poles shorter than 200 cm (79 in) are delivered in one piece, while poles longer than 200 cm come with joiners.

Both yes and no! Without getting into the nerdy stuff, we offer a corner piece to our black wrought iron rod that works exactly like an angle for curtain poles. By the help of this little piece you can drape a corner seamlessly. To hear more about this special component, email us at info@gotain.com.
