How to Hang Curtains Without Drilling into Walls?

When I wanted to hang curtains in my rented apartment, I was worried about drilling holes into the walls. After a bit of research, I decided to call a professional carpenter to help me. He explained exactly how to hang curtains without drilling into the wall. He used smart tools and techniques that didn’t damage the walls at all. Now, I can share how he did it, step by step.

How to Hang Curtains Without Drilling into Walls?

The first option he suggested was adhesive hooks. These are strong, stick to the wall easily, and can hold lightweight curtains. He carefully measured where the curtain rod should go, then stuck the hooks in place. After a few minutes, he hung the curtain rod on them. Apart from this there are other ways that he suggested hanging curtains without drilling,

1. Tension Rod: This is a rod that adjusts to fit snugly between the walls of the window frame. It was quick to set up, and there was no drilling or sticking involved.

2. Magnetic Rod: The rod clings to the door frame securely and can hold lightweight curtains easily.

3. Stick-On Rod: It’s similar to adhesive hooks but comes as a single piece. It looked neat and didn’t require any complicated setup.

4. Twist-and-Fit Rod

Steps for Hanging Curtains without Drilling into Wall

Mounting curtain rods and installing brackets aren't the only solutions available for hanging curtains. You can even follow the below steps to hang your curtains easily:

• For every window, you will require two adhesive hooks. Several weights and styles can be supported by adhesive hooks, so purchase a set that is both stylish and sturdy enough to hang drapes from your walls. 

• With caution, remove the backing from your adhesive hooks.

• Attach the hooks to your wall now.

• Give the hooks an hour to settle.

• Finally, after securing the curtain rod to the hooks, slide the curtains onto it.

It is important for you to always refer to the instructions that came with the adhesive hook. This is because they can have particular requirements about weight restrictions and surface preparation. I hope you found this answer helpful.

Hey,

My landlord was not allowing me to hang curtains in my rented flat. He said drilling holes for hanging curtains would ruin the freshly painted walls. However, he allowed me to hang curtains in the space without putting holes in the walls. So, I asked my friend who is an interior designer to help me out. This is how to hang curtain rod without drilling into walls:

• Hexa Blade to cut the pipe

• Masking tape (if needed)

• Good quality adhesive hooks

• Aluminum rods (1-inch diameter) or water pipe (CPVC) or PVC

Firstly, mark the points (same height from the floor) on the opposite walls where you will glue the adhesive hooks. Remove the seal from the rear of the hook and glue it on the marked points on the wall carefully. Press the hook with your hand tightly for a couple of minutes.

You can easily cut the aluminum rod, water pipes, or PVCs with hexa blades. Just measure the length between both the hooks installed on the opposite walls. Make sure the length of the curtain rods is 1 cm more than the distance between the hooks.

Drill a home around one centimeter from the rods’ corners. This will help the curtain rod fit on the hooks through this hole. Insert the hooks into these holes.

Insert the curtain hooks into the curtain rod and keep the rod on the wall hooks slowly.

I hope now you know how to hang curtains without drilling into walls.
