Curtains can make or break a room's aesthetics — and behind every beautiful curtain is a quality curtain rod. Whether you're dressing wide living room windows, large sliding doors, or bedroom openings in a Nairobi apartment, choosing the right curtain rod determines how well your curtains hang, how long they last, and how polished the final look is.
In this guide, we cover all the curtain rod options in Kenya, including sizes, prices at Ziann Africa, and tips for installation.
Types of Curtain Rods Available in Kenya
Double Curtain Rods (Recommended)
A double curtain rod features two tracks on a single bracket system — one for the sheer/voile curtain and one for the heavier blackout or main curtain. This is the most popular choice in Kenyan homes because it allows full light control, privacy, and a layered, finished aesthetic.
Single Curtain Rods
Used for a single curtain layer. More affordable but offers less flexibility for light control. Suitable for utility rooms, offices, and spaces where a single curtain is sufficient.
Sizes Available
Ziann Africa stocks three standard lengths to cover the most common window widths in Kenyan homes and commercial properties:
- 2 Metres (2m): Ideal for standard bedroom windows and small apertures.
- 3 Metres (3m): Perfect for living room windows and wider bedroom openings.
- 4 Metres (4m): Designed for large floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors, and open-plan living areas.

- Mark bracket positions at the correct height (typically 10–15cm above the window frame) and extend 15–20cm on each side of the window.
- Use a spirit level to ensure both brackets are at the exact same height.
- Drill into the wall using a masonry bit. Insert rawl plugs into the holes.
- Screw the brackets firmly into the rawl plugs.
- Thread the curtains onto the inner rod (sheer) and outer rod (main), then rest the rods on the brackets.
- Secure the finials (end caps) to prevent the rods from sliding off.
