Great curtain rod for wrap-around curtains, or for hanging rugs, which is what I use them for.  They give the rug about a 2-inch separation from the wall, so there is air flow behind the rug.  The wrap-around style simply holds the rug (or curtain) in place without the distraction of a finale on the ends.  Plus, you can tuck these into tighter spaces.  Great for a multitude of uses.
