NATURAL CURTAIN POLES

Natural wood curtain poles in blonde and beige tones suit contemporary schemes, including Scandinavian minimalism and coastal styling. Think crisp, fresh and uncluttered with space to breathe and a natural sense of calm. Designed to blend organically with existing décor, these natural tones bring harmony. Created using whitewashed and limed effects, choose light wood curtain pole finishes to create sun-bleached beach vibes of driftwood, powder white sands and salty spray. There's something infinitely tranquil about the simplicity of pale wood evoking a relaxed and casual elegance that is understated yet timeless.
