5 Ways To Safely Hang a Curtain Rod

Ever moved into a rental or dorm and noticed there are no curtains? Furthermore drilling a hole in the wall to hang them can cause damage to the property resulting in a loss of your security deposit. Below are five ways to hang curtains without drilling or damaging your walls.

No Drill Curtain Rod Brackets – Specifically designed by Kwik, these rods attach to a window seal. Installation is as easy as tapping them into the seal of your window. No need for screws, drills or nails. They are sturdy and can hold up to 20 pounds. Additionally they come in a range of colors and are available for both single or double hanging curtains.
Tension Rod – The way in which these work is that it is a rod that extends between the length of the window. Its spring mechanism can be altered to fit most windows and works by pushing between the walls of the window. Suitable to hold lightweight curtains.
Twist & Fit Rods – A great alternative for windows that can not fit a typical tension rod. They work similar to a tension rod, although they contain brackets that fit onto the window trim. They can hold heavier curtains than a tension rod, although there is still a lower weight limit than that of a typical curtain rod.
Command Hooks – Produced by 3M, these hooks are similar to the ones used to hang art on walls. Its sticky backing allows it to be placed on most surfaces with the curtain rod sitting on top. A cheap and great way to hang lightweight curtains with no damage to the walls.
Ceiling Hook – Again made by 3M these hooks are stuck onto the ceiling and you hang the curtain from there. Not only can they be used to hang window shades but you can use the hooks to divide a room. Not only are they cheap but are available in both lightweight and heavy duty options.
