We have a laundry closet upstairs in our hallway and while I love having the washer and dryer upstairs, it’s kind of an eye sore.  We used to have closet doors there so I could just shut them and pretend they weren’t there.  Then we got front loaders and I could no longer shut the doors.  That’s where I had to get creative.  I first found the curtains at IKEA but I couldn’t decide what kind of curtain rods I wanted especially since it was such a wide area.

Then, of course, I found something on Pinteres where you can use plumbing  parts and conduit to make an inexpensive curtain rod.  This is my kind of project for three reasons – they are cheap, sturdy and easy to assemble.

Materials needed:

  • galvanized floor flanges with 1/2 inch opening
  • steel pipe thread (2 inches by 1/2 inches)
  • 1/2 inch elbow pipe
  • conduit piping (found in the electrical section)
  • spray paint (optional)
  • screws
  • curtain ring clips (I found mine at Walmart)

Step 1:  Gather your supplies.  I want to note that I had Home Depot cut the conduit  for me.  This made is easier for me to fit it in my car and, of course, I didn’t have to deal with cutting anything myself which is always awesome.

Step 2:  Spray paint the flanges and pipes.  I chose to paint those silver so I didn’t have to paint the conduit.

Step 3:  Pre-drill all your holes.

Step 4:  Assemble everything together (don’t forget your curtain ring clips) and screw everything into the wall.

That’s it!  Add your curtains to the clips and you are all done.
