Using a smaller tension rod in an open bookcase or cabinet can allow you to conceal clutter and present a more polished look. You can even use fun fabric combinations to spice up any room.

Curtain rods can be used in your office under your desk, or In your bathroom under your pedestal sink to create an enclosed storage space that hides unattractive clutter. Similarly curtain rods can also be attached to the underside of your bed to hold up a dust ruffle.

Curtain rods do not have to be limited to just concealing clutter, they can also help keep your home more organized. By using curtain rods under the kitchen sink, in your closet, or laundry room, you can double up on your storage space.
