The living room is the most fun part of the house and should have features – such as double rod curtains – that make it more enjoyable than other parts of the house, not for you alone but for your guests. It is not enough to have guests staring at your television or paintings, even though that is good. Instead, you can call their attention to the window and other entrances to the living room using good curtains and double rods to hold them up.
Numerous designs will capture the attention of anyone who enters your living room, and one of them is the use of double rods to hold up your exquisitely designed curtains for people to admire. However, the fabric and print or design on your curtain goes a long way in impacting the outlook of your living room, as it influences the ambiance and warmth of the room. The rod that holds the fabric and makes the drapery impressive has to be equally breathtaking.
Single rods have been in use, and the glitz they seldom possess is no longer as appealing as what the double rods offer. Therefore, you will not only be doing yourself a good living room appearance favor, but you’ll also get a better and sturdier rod for your curtains. In addition, while single rods are good, double rods are better for just a slight price rise. You can even find some that are cheaper than some single rods.
At the end of this piece, you will have more than enough double rod curtain ideas for the living room to help you take the appearance of your busy room to the next level and give you the confidence that your drapery will not fall from its majestic pose. You should know that our focus is on the rods, but we will discuss the choices of curtains that will suit whichever double rod design you choose.

Sturdy Touch Double Rod Single Curtain
This double rod living room curtain design idea is most suited for living rooms that look like a gallery. Please do not use it for small living rooms as it will only make them appear smaller. However, if your living room is large, you can apply the double rods so that their ends touch each corresponding one to form a right angle.
The preceding rod bears no curtain and does well to call attention to the curtain. The second rod bears the curtain, which is usually brightly colored, to complement the warm color of the double rods.

For a fancy living room with brightly colored walls and furniture, this is one of the best double rod curtain ideas you can apply. It is also suitable for living rooms with reasonably high ceilings and will love to have a drapery that uses the tab-top design. The drop-down of the curtains might be knotted close to one of the rods for a better effect.
The sleek gold color of the double rod stands out amid white colors. It will also stand out if the curtain material is light blue. However, ensure that the curtain hangs from the inner rod as the outer rod has more character and will draw attention on its own.
Two-tier Gold Double Rod for Living Room Curtain
This idea for using a double rod for your living room applies to brightly colored walls. However, because the double rod has only its color as the striking character, it is best to hang curtains from both rods, keeping in mind that the curtains should be dark to make the gold color of the rods stand out.

Romantic Lace-bearing Double Rod Curtain Design
For the romantics who love to live in cabins and leave the windows wide open, especially during summers, here’s a double rod living room curtain design that will fit your style. Attach transparent curtains – white and lacy materials work best – to the two rods and have as much light as you want. You also have a cool breeze getting into your living room.
The double rods have a bronze feel and color, with silver markings to form a crown at the tip of the outer rod and a small cap on the inner rod. The outer rod has more character and will quickly call attention to the window if the lacy curtain fails to do so.
Bright White Double Rod for your Living Room
While many double rods are compatible with white walls, few (apart from the gold-colored double rods) can work well and stand out in a dark-colored living room. Therefore, the bright white double rod is best used in an all-white themed living room, with some splashes of gold here and there, or a living room with dark walls.
The curtain that should hang from these double rods should either be white or gray, in a white living room or a dark curtain, some shades lighter than the living room walls. The double rod blends in perfectly, as in the all-white living room, or stands out in the dark-walled living room.
