Partial Window Curtain Rods, Yea or Nay?

partial rods

What is your opinion of partial curtain rods? I am currently working online with a client who recently asked me, “What do you think of short rods?” “Not a fan”,  I wrote back  quickly, ( I wrote back the next day and said that I hope my comment did not sound rude!) I explained to her that just because I did not like the look, that doesn’t mean they won’t work if you like the style.

I never even thought about using them in a room. I decided to take a look online and see if I was missing something.

Sometimes called short side panel curtain rods, they do have a couple advantages:* Less expensive, not having to buy as many panels to cover whole window:

* A full rod may simply look too heavy across the whole window:

I think partial curtain rods can look nice but still not a fan of the look. What do you think? Would you use in your home? Love to hear your comments!

Have a great weekend everyone!
