Measured Window Treatments

The Considered Curtain Rod is a Pre-Marked Customizable Stick

Since wooden items like the Considered Curtain Rod cannot be manufactured with telescopic adjustability like the poles made from metal, the designer recognized that the consumer may have to cut this product short. Dixon Branded designed a 44-inch timber stick that can be reduced in length after purchase in order to accommodate one's particular window dimensions.

In order to make this task easier, John Dixon made markings on the hard maple that indicate its span. About halfway along the bar, dashes and numbers begin to mark quite tiny units of measurement so that you don't have to pull out your tape measure and your pencil. The playful meter stick design of the Considered Curtain Rod makes redecorating fun and efficient and it whimsically references the modern DIY movement.
Trend Themes
1. Customizable Curtain Rods - There is potential for designers to create various customized curtain rods that can be adjusted to meet the needs of specific windows.
2. Smart Windows - The rise of customizable curtain rods could result in a corresponding increase of interest in smart windows that can be controlled remotely.
3. DIY Home Decor - The playful meter stick design of the Considered Curtain Rod reflects a growing interest in DIY and creative home decor projects.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decorating - The customizability of the Considered Curtain Rod creates an opportunity for retailers in the home decorating industry to offer more personalized products to consumers.
2. Woodworking - As wooden items have limitations in terms of adjustability, opportunities arise for woodworking businesses to create innovative solutions like the Considered Curtain Rod.
3. Smart Home Technology - The rise of customizable curtain rods could create opportunities for smart home technology companies to integrate their products with window treatments and provide an enhanced living experience.
