Curtain rails are often mounted on the ceiling, but sometimes this isn’t an option for various reasons. Perhaps you don’t want or aren’t able to drill into the ceiling, a slanted ceiling or ornate moulding makes ceiling mounting impossible, or you simply want to hang the curtains lower down towards the window for aesthetic reasons.

Most of Hasta’s standard curtain rails can be wall-mounted, but there are a few things to consider when choosing wall-mounted rails. Here, you’ll find advice and tips on how to proceed with wall-mounting your curtain rails!

Which Rail Should I Choose?

A great option for wall-mounting is the Alex rail, which can be mounted in various ways on the wall. If you order a custom-sized Alex rail, you can easily select a wall-mounted version. However, if you opt for a standard-sized Alex rail, you’ll need to purchase additional brackets. Check out our complete Alex guide here.

Other curtain rails, such as the popular U-rail, can also be wall-mounted. Pair it with an angled wall bracket and choose the bracket length based on how far out from the wall you want the curtain to hang. Sometimes it’s necessary for the curtain to hang farther out from the wall, even with wall mounting, such as when there’s a windowsill that protrudes significantly. In such cases, you can opt for an extra-long bracket and mount the ceiling bracket onto the angled bracket instead. You will also need to purchase screws for mounting the ceiling bracket onto the angle.

Double Curtains with Wall Mounting

Want to achieve the hotel look with double curtains but need to wall-mount your rails? Purchase two sets of rails and pair them with extra-long brackets and screws. Mount the rails parallel on the bracket, leaving about 10 cm of space between them if you’re going for hotel-style waves. For tighter pleats like pencil pleats, the distance between the rails doesn’t need to be as large. You can read more about how to hang your curtains in different pleat styles here.

For double curtains on windows with an extending windowsill, the longest bracket available is 20 cm. This length may be necessary, as the inner curtain needs to hang a bit away from the wall, with the next curtain layer even further out.
