There are only two ways to install curtains. The Roman pole is an open pole with a ring in the middle and the curtains are hung on the ring.
But now more and more curtains are processed, which can be directly passed through the rod, which is very convenient.
For the style of home, both slide rails and Roman poles are more suitable, and no one is a perfect match for any style. So there are no restrictions on stylistic choices.
However, the choice of slide rails and Roman poles still has certain requirements for the treatment of the top surface. The slide rails are generally made of curtain boxes using the suspended ceiling for blocking.
↑This is a sliding rail curtain that uses a suspended ceiling to create a curtain box.
↑This kind of curtain has a gypsum line around it and uses a gypsum board curtain box to slide the curtains.
If the floor height of your home is not high and is not suitable for suspended ceilings; or you do not like the decoration of gypsum boards, choose simple and clear Roman poles.
For example, the double-layer curtains that are very common nowadays have a layer of screen on the inside and a layer of curtains on the outside, so double tracks are needed. Both Roman rods and slide rails have this design, so if you want to install double-layer curtains, it doesn’t matter whether you choose Roman rods or slide rails.

There is also a special case. If your curtains are curved, generally use Slide rail, because the rail bending is relatively simple, while the Roman rod is difficult to bend.
The choice of curtain rods, to put it bluntly, depends on your own preferences, whether you like concealed ones or simple and intuitive ones. In addition, it depends on whether it is suitable for a suspended ceiling. The installation of the slide rail type is definitely more troublesome than the Roman pole. Before the decoration, you must carefully consider and communicate with the decoration master to reserve the position of the curtain box.
