Looking for other great solutions for your windows? I've got you covered with these other smart DIYs! In all honesty, I thought they would be hardly noticeable once hung and would even serve as curtain weights to keep the pleats looking nice. Although they seem fairly obvious in photos, I don’t even notice them when I’m actually in the room. I’m not sure I would do this in a space where we host guests; but for now, it’s just another example of “making it work.”

The rods you can use for curtains without drilling include tension rods, which have internal springs that brace them against window trim, and magnetic rods. The latter are suitable for metal doors. Here is another for hanging curtains without drilling from jenandlargo. She uses modified “over the door” hooks that she inserted into the ceiling panes on her porch. In an effort not to drill into the wall to hang a curtain rod, my next best option was to use Command Hooks. But not every Command Hook is created equal. Some are too small to hold a rod, and others can’t hold the weight of fabric panels. I spent a lot of time researching options and even looked at a few in the store. All the hooks options below are both big enough to hold a rod and strong enough to support the weight of several curtain panels, but range in price-points, finishes, and weight. Another no drill curtain rod option is a magnetic curtain rod. If you have metal doors or windows, this could be the perfect solution for you. Also, there are many available options from the Turquoize Store. For example, this one, is crafted from champagne gold for a classic look. Velcro isn’t a solution that will cover a whole lot of situations, but it might be the one you need. ‘I have occasionally fitted tented curtains in sunrooms using Velcro,’ says John Doran.Curtain rods, or poles, are the classical solution used in many homes. They tend to be more visible than other solutions. Therefore, you have to think of them as part of the décor, rather than just a support mechanism for your favourite drapes. Once she fit the curtain rods onto the door hook, she hung the curtains onto the rod with “s” hooks. Start by using some painter’s tape around the edges of the hook. If you work carefully, you can likely slide tape between the wall and hook itself.

This is easy for anyone to install and takes just a few seconds to attach to a metal door or window. Once I followed all the instructions and the hooks were fully “installed,” I hung my long, thin curtain rod across the two hooks. If you’ve been coming around here for any length of time, you likely know I have a pretty serious passion for hanging some sort of window treatments on our rental windows (you can read why here). When we first moved in 2 years ago, we immediately hung curtains in almost every single room. The one exception was our Master Bedroom simply because I ran out of curtain rods. I bought a curtain rod shortly after ( these are my favorite inexpensive rods) but it sat and sat and sat in our garage while I tended to other rooms and projects.

7. Suspend Curtain Rods from the Ceiling

Even though I originally placed my hooks at what I thought was “high and wide,” it wasn’t near high enough once I placed the rod and tested a panel. Then paint the exposed areas of hook with matching wall paint. If you use dark hooks, it may take a few coats to get good coverage (when using a light paint color). As the ceiling is normally high and customers often opt for lightweight fabric, this is the perfect way to hang beautiful window dressings which can easily be altered and can be safely fixed to the conservatory’s structure.’ The curtain width does not matter for this solution as you can modify it to fit any curtain measurement. This solution requires a ceiling area that may not be present where you want to place your curtains.

What if you can’t installcurtainsby drilling holes and you don’t have or want to use a curtain rod? There are a couple of ways to hang curtains in this way. Self-adhesive hooks could provide a place to position a rod so you can hang curtains without drilling. By using Command Hooks to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall, you do have some flexibility. I experimented with hanging my curtains fuller and wider, and all I needed to do was simply extend my bar past the hooks. So far, my rod hasn’t sagged at all…but if it did, I could easily add another hook along the middle. Once in the final stages of finishing up our Master Bedroom, I (of course) wanted to hang up my curtains. But here’s the reality: we are less than a year away from moving again (can you believe that?!?!) Although this has rarely stopped me in the past, I just didn’t have it in me to do a full-fledge rod installation with drywall anchors, screws, etc. So I decided to embrace my inner “rental guru” and attempted to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall.

1. Use Temporary Command Hooks

If you need an option that will fit outside a door or window frame, command hooks might be a better option for you. These are a good choice for curtain rods for renters. John Doran, head fitter of soft furnishings at Andrew Henry Interiors and Thread & Dandy advises that you should think about a window’s shape, size, location and what you are using the window treatment for when deciding how to hang curtains: Other caveats with this method? These hooks can only be used for curtain rods of very narrow diameter. Secondly, skip the white plastic versions for a more pleasing finish. We like Command Curtain Rod Holders in Oil Rubbed Bronze. Thirdly, don’t use them on wallpaper; a painted wall is fine, though. This next step is 100% optional; but if your eye gets easily distracted like mine does (and you really want to use rings to hang your curtains), it’s well worth a little paint and time to camouflage the hooks with some matching wall paint.
