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.
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. 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.” 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.A tension rod works through a spring mechanism inside a rod that creates tension when you stretch it from one side of the frame to another. Tension rods work well as temporary curtain rods because there is no need for drilling and creating wall damage. Once she fit the curtain rods onto the door hook, she hung the curtains onto the rod with “s” hooks. Self-adhesive hooks could provide a place to position a rod so you can hang curtains without drilling.

Also consider whether to use curtain rings or not. Using curtain rings can add a good amount of exciting detail to your room. But if you have a very ornate design, they might make the room look busy and over-elaborate. Winding wires There are many reasons you might need to know how to hang curtains without drilling. For example, you may be in a rental apartment that doesn’t allow you to put holes in the walls. Or, you may own a historic home that has plaster walls that make it difficult to drill holes. 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. 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. Looking for other great solutions for your windows? I've got you covered with these other smart DIYs!This rod has an attractive and classic look with different finishes that work well with many styles. 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:
If you think that a tension rod will work for your situation, consider this curtain rod from Maytex. The Maytex Twist and Shout Tension Window Curtain Rod fits inside a door or window frame. The curtain width does not matter for this solution as you can modify it to fit any curtain measurement. 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.
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). 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. 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. Using curtain wires is a simpler solution than putting up a rod. It’s a less visible, more discreet option. It’s perfect if you want something subtle that emphasizes your glorious drapery. Simply mount the ends on the wall or in the ceiling and add the curtain hooks and textiles. The length of the wire is adjustable, so you can always get the measurements just right. On top of that, it goes around corners as well. That way, you can place it above corner windows or a door entrance. Or why not let it expand from a window and along your entire wall?
