5 Easy Ways to Hang Curtains Without Drilling

There are plenty of reasons to avoid putting holes in your wall. You could be renting, commitment-phobic, or worried about your own ability to wield a drill. And in any case, you’re right to be reluctant, because there’s often a temporary alternative to screws and nails. 

When hanging curtains, your options aren’t limited to installing brackets and mounting curtain rods. You can take advantage of magnets, adhesives, or natural tension to get the job done. In fact, there are so many ways to hang curtains without drilling that you can simply pick your favorite of the bunch. And just about all of them sound easier than using a drill.

Adhesive hooks stick to your wall, come in a variety of styles, and you can pair them with most straight curtain rods. Here is the process for hanging curtains using adhesive hooks.

Step 1: Buy the Right Adhesive Hooks

You’ll need two adhesive hooks for each window. Adhesive hooks can support different weights and styles, so snag a set strong enough to hold curtains and sleek enough to display on your walls. 

Step 2: Stick the Hooks on Your Wall

Follow the instructions that came with the adhesive hooks. Peel the backing off your adhesive hooks before carefully sticking them on your walls.

Step 3: Let the Hooks Sit

Let the hooks sit for 1 hour (or whatever amount of time the instructions recommend). If you hang your curtains too soon, your adhesive hooks may fall off your wall.

Step 4: Hang Your Rod and Curtains

Slide your curtains onto your curtain rod, and place the curtain rod on the hooks.

A tension rod sits inside your window. They don’t require hooks or hardware and are limited in terms of style.

Step 1: Buy the Right Tension Rod

Tension rods come in different sizes, so measure the inside of your window. Since the tension rod needs to sit between two protruding surfaces, you’ll want to measure the distance from one surface to the next.

Then, look for a tension rod that will fit inside your window. As they are adjustable, be sure to check the rod’s minimum and maximum length.

Step 2: Adjust the Rod

Hold the tension rod up to your window. Then, adjust the rod until it’s about 1 inch shorter than your window.

Step 3: Tuck the Rod Inside Your Window

Place one end of the tension rod where you want it. Then, lengthen the tension rod until the other end is where you want it. 

Step 4: Hang Your Curtains and Tighten the Rod

Gently slide your curtains onto your tension rod and put the tension rod back inside your window. To make sure there’s enough pressure to hold the rod in place, lengthen the rod a little more. You want the rod to be tight enough to stay inside your window, even when you let go of it.

Magnetic rods adhere to metal walls and surfaces. They’re available in a variety of styles, and some come with adhesive strips, which can attach the rods to other materials.

Step 1: Buy the Right Magnetic Rod

Find a magnetic curtain rod long enough to frame your window, strong enough to hold your curtains, and striking enough to display on your wall.

Step 2: Mount the Rod on Your Wall

Place the curtain rod where you want it, and make sure it sticks to your wall.

Step 3: Hang Your Curtains 

Remove the rod so you can slide your curtains over it. Then, reattach the rod to your wall.

Stick-on rods stick to your wall. They're available in a variety of styles, and some come with hardware, which you can use to install the rods more permanently.

Step 1: Buy the Right Stick-On Rod

When shopping for stick-on curtain rods, consider size, strength, and style. Look for a curtain rod that’s wide enough for your window, strong enough for your curtains, and sleek enough for your space.

Step 2: Stick the Rod on Your Wall

Check the installation instructions your curtain rod came with. Odds are, your curtain rod has two adhesive brackets. You can likely install those brackets by peeling away their backing and sticking them to your wall.

Step 3: Let the Rod Sit

Leave your curtain rod on your wall for 1 hour (or the amount of time the instructions recommend) before hanging your curtains. This should keep the rod from falling off your wall right after you’ve installed it.

Step 4: Hang Your Curtains

Slide your curtains onto your curtain rod. To do this, you may need to remove one end of your curtain rod or lift the curtain rod out of the bracket. (Your installation instructions should point you in the right direction.)

True Home

Like tension rods, twist-and-fit rods sit inside your window. But, they’re designed with decorative flourishes that make them look like traditional curtain rods.

Step 1: Buy the Right Twist-and-Fit Rod

Measure the inside of your window. Then, find a twist-and-fit rod that’s long enough to fit there—and sleek enough to display in your space. Since twist-and-fit rods are adjustable, you’ll want to check the rod’s minimum and maximum length when assessing size.

Step 2: Adjust the Rod

Place the twist-and-fit rod inside your window. And adjust its length until it’s almost long enough to stay put.

Step 3: Hang Your Curtains and Tighten the Rod

Slide your curtains onto your curtain rod. Then, place the rod inside your window, with one end touching one side of your window. Extend the rod until the other end reaches the other side. Then, keep lengthening the rod until it's tight enough to stay in place.

The Secret to Choosing Curtains to Make Your Room Look More Expensive

How to Hang Curtains Without Drilling

How to Hang Curtains With a Tension Rod

Tension rods are an easy, dependable, and inexpensive way to hang curtains without drilling or nailing. If you love the showy look of bracketed curtain rods and fancy finials, you'll get the opposite with curtain tension rods. Tension rods are all about getting the job done as invisibly as possible.

Built-in springs within the rod compress and extend, allowing the rod's sections to squeeze together, then push firmly against each side of the window frame.

Thin cafe tension rods are best with sheers or lightweight seasonal panels. Some thicker tension rods are strong enough that they can even be used with heavy blackout curtains. On average, a tension rod will hold 10 to 16 pounds.

Pros

  1. Measure the Space

    With the tape measure, measure the width of the window at the top.

  2. Purchase a Tension Rod

    Purchase a tension curtain rod that's from 1/2-inch to two inches longer than the window width. The thicker the curtain rod, the more distance it can span. Curtain rods 3/4-inch to one-inch in diameter can cover windows up to 90 inches wide. Longer, thicker curtain rods are often classified as curtain/shower rods.

  3. Twist the Curtain Rod to Lengthen

    Rotate the smaller section counter-clockwise within the larger section to extend the curtain rod to equal the window opening. Further lengthen the rod so it is 1/2-inch longer than the width of the window for smaller windows (up to around 34 to 41 inches). For larger windows (between 41 and 90 inches), extend the rod up to 2 inches wider than the opening.

  4. Compress the Curtain Rod

    Press one end of the curtain rod against the side of the window frame. Compress the other end of the rod so that it fits into the frame. Once, in the frame, allow the rod to expand to fit the opening. Test and adjust as needed. The rod should feel tight and firm within the window, but it should not be excessively hard to push it into place. If the rod's length is correct, remove it.

  5. Add the Curtain

    Slide the curtain onto the rod. Push the curtain toward the middle in order keep the ends two to three inches clear. Install the rod as before. Adjust and smooth out the curtain.

How to Hang Curtains With Adhesive Hooks

Self-adhesive hooks come in a plethora of styles for practically any use. Whether you need to hang string lights, jewelry, organizers, pictures, brooms, or spray bottles, you will find a self-adhesive hook dedicated to that purpose alone. Self-adhesive hooks can also help hang curtains without drilling or nailing.

General-purpose medium plastic hooks, often used for hanging small towels, robes, or keys, can also be repurposed for hanging lightweight curtains or sheers on thin curtain rods. Medium self-stick hooks hold up to six pounds per pair.

Hooks hug close to the wall. So, thick curtain rods or rods with large finials (ends) will not fit. Use a thin metal cafe rod, adjustable up to 84 inches. Or use a 1/2-inch by 48-inch wood dowel. Cut to any size you need, the dowel should be capped with 1/2-inch wood caps as finials. The dowel can be painted any color.

Pros

  1. Clean the Wall

    If the wall is dirty, it will need to be cleaned for the adhesive to stick properly. Pour one teaspoon of all-purpose cleaner per quart of warm water into a clean bucket. Use with a sponge. Rinse with clean water. Let the surface thoroughly dry.

  2. Mark the Bracket Locations

    Use short strips of painter's tape to hold the brackets in place on both sides of the window. Do not use the self-stick adhesive strips yet. Stand back, check the positions of the brackets, and adjust as needed. When you are satisfied with the placement, add a light pencil mark above each bracket.

  3. Stick the Brackets Into Place

    Remove the protective backing from one of the hooks. Line up the hook with the pencil mark and press it firmly into place. Follow by doing the same on the other side of the window.

  4. Let the Adhesive Cure

    Wait at least one hour. The hooks' adhesive needs one hour or more to develop maximum adhesion with the wall.

  5. Add the Rod to the Brackets

    Slip the curtain onto the rod. For a cafe rod, add the finials and place the rod into the hooks.

  6. Add the Wood Dowel Caps (Optional)

    If you are using a wood dowel as a curtain rod, it will need finials to prevent the rod from slipping off of the hooks. First, check to make sure that the curtain can slip over the finials. If so, add the finials with two drops of wood glue to the pocket of each finial. Then, force the finials onto the ends of the dowels and let the glue dry for at least an hour before mounting the rod in the brackets.

  7. Add the Middle Bracket (Optional)

    For cafe rods extended longer than 48 inches, add a bracket to the center of the window or door. First, place the extended curtain rod with the curtain into the left and right brackets. Standing on a chair, hold the third bracket at the center of the rod. Slightly raise the bracket up the wall until it is supporting the center of the rod. Mark the position. Remove the rod and curtain. Add the middle bracket in the marked location. Replace the curtain rod and curtain.

Tip

For heavier curtains: self-stick broom and mop holders hold up to eight pounds per pair. More importantly, rods up to one-inch in diameter can be clipped in, allowing longer runs without middle supports. The holders must be turned on the side to accept the horizontal rod. The rod snaps satisfyingly into place and resists lateral movement—no need for finials. Though a decidedly utilitarian look, it's a quick no-drill solution for large windows.

How to Hang Self-Adhesive Pleated Shades

If you're looking for quick privacy but also want gentle, filtered light in the room, self-adhesive pleated shades give you that privacy in just a few minutes. Made of paper, these shades are lightweight and easy to raise and lower. Child- and pet-safe with no cords, the shade is lowered or raised by pulling or lifting the bottom edge.

Width is easy to adjust simply by cutting one end with a utility knife or kitchen knife. Length is self-adjusting: raise or lower the shade to the desired height.

Self-adhesive pleated shades are a quick fix, especially if you've just moved into a new house or apartment. Yet shades will not darken a room. Plus, the top adhesive strip may eventually fail due to the frequent downward pulls to close the shade.

  1. Prepare the Surface

    Since the continuous adhesive strip attaches to the top of the window frame, the frame must be flat, painted, and clean. If there are curtain or mini-blind brackets, remove them with a screwdriver. Scrape away adhesives with a putty knife. Patch any holes with wood filler, then paint over.

  2. Measure the Window

    With the tape measure, measure the width of the window in three places: top, middle, and bottom. Write down the smallest of the three measurements. Subtract 1/8-inch to produce the final measurement.

  3. Transfer the Measurement to the Shade

    Use the tape measure and pencil to mark the measurement on the top of the pleated shade. Some paper pleated shades have shipping end caps that must first be removed.

  4. Cut the Shade

    Place the shade on a cutting surface like a kitchen cutting board or cardboard. Compress the shade with one hand. Holding the knife perfectly vertical, cut through the entire shade as a stack, from top to bottom. A sharp, large kitchen knife works best for cutting. Do not use a serrated knife. Slowly saw back and forth to cut down through each layer of paper. Be careful of your free hand as you cut.

    Tip

    Deviating from a completely vertical cut will result in an uneven edge when the shade is down. Keep the cut straight and vertical.

  5. Install the Shade

    Peel off the protective strip from the top of the shade. Standing on a chair or ladder, stick the shade to the top of the window frame, carefully centering the shade.

How to Hang a Curtain With Tap-In Brackets

Screwing curtain rod brackets into window frames or trim creates large holes that are difficult to patch. But what if you could shrink those holes and shift them to the top of the trim, where no one will ever see them? That's the clever concept behind tap-in curtain brackets.

Two brands of tap-in curtain brackets, Kwik-Hang and Tap Brackets, work much the same way. For windows up to 60 inches wide, two brackets, one on each side, support the curtain rod and curtain. Resting on top of the window trim, each L-shaped bracket has two thin pins on the bottom. Lightly tapping the tops of the brackets secures them to the trim.

Each pair of brackets holds up to 30 pounds. For windows over 60 inches, one center support is needed. For windows over 120 inches, two supports are necessary.

Pros

  1. Clean the Trim

    Use a soft cloth to clean off the top of the window or door trim. While this is also a good opportunity to clean the entire length of trim, you only need to clean off four inches at each end.

  2. Place Bracket

    Each kit comes with a left and a right bracket. Start on one side. Standing on a ladder, fit the vertical side of the bracket against the vertical trim. Slide the bracket down until the pins touch the top trim.

  3. Tap Bracket Into Place

    With a lightweight hammer, gently tap the bracket into the trim. Do not tap too hard since trim is fragile and might crack.

    Tip

    To protect the wall from the hammer, hold a thin piece of cardboard or plastic against the wall or add a protective layer of painter's tape.

  4. Tap Other Bracket Into Place

    Switch to the other side of the window or door. Tap the bracket into place in the same manner.

  5. Add the Curtain and Curtain Rod

    Separate the curtain rod into two pieces. Slip the curtain onto one side. Reassemble the rod. Standing on a chair or ladder, rest the curtain rod into the brackets.

How to Hang a Curtain With a Magnetic Curtain Rod

For curtain rods that require no drilling, no tiny nail holes, and no adhesive, magnetic curtain rods are the perfect solution. Magnetic curtain rods look just like regular, screwed-in curtain rods: metal, adjustable, two side brackets, and projecting from the wall by about 1-1/2 inches. Magnetic curtain rods are easy to mount on the wall or the door and equally easy to remove—leaving no damage behind.

Tip

Magnetic curtain rods come in adjustable widths from 28 inches to 48 inches. Basic finishes such as white, bronze, matte black, and satin nickel are available.

One catch is that they do need to be mounted to a metal surface, and metal is often lacking above or to the side of windows. Plus, only ferrous metal like steel counts; magnets do not stick to aluminum, copper, or brass. Nor are the magnets strong enough to stick to the drywall screws or nails embedded in walls.

Yet magnetic curtain rods will stick to metal trim or any metal elements around windows. They also work well on metal exterior doors with windows that need to be covered.

Cons

niuniu / Getty Images

  1. Clean the Surface

    With a soft cloth, clean the metal surface. Scrape away any loose paint or dried adhesives.

  2. Separate the Curtain Rods

    Most magnetic curtain rods are telescoping, with one piece inserted into the other, wider piece. Pull the two apart and separate them.

  3. Add the Curtain

    Slide the curtain onto the larger of the two rods. Slide the narrow section back into place.

  4. Stick Curtain Rod to the Surface

    Telescope the curtain rod to the desired width. Stick the two brackets to the surface. Adjust width as needed. Check level with a bubble level or by eye.

How to hang curtains without a cornice in an original way.

Curtains are the highlight of any interior design, so it is very important not only to skillfully choose the color, material texture and style, but also to hang them effectively.

Whatever the reason, curtains need to be hung somehow to complete the design of the room. In this case, very original, sometimes even eccentric ways of attaching curtains without cornices will come to your aid.

How to hang curtains in an original way without a cornice.

Curtains are the main decor element in our home, which can significantly affect both the interior itself and the impression of the owners. Everyone knows that any apartment or house can be visually transformed with a skillful color scheme and some decorative elements. And the curtains are no exception, because the overall picture of the perception of the interior depends on how you can design the places of its fastening in an original way.

A few ideas and tips on how to quickly and effectively hang curtains or curtains without curtain rods:

With hooks

Hooks and holders for spot-fixing curtains.

Get the right size hooks or original holders, they must be reliable and in harmony with the chosen interior style.

Large point holder option.

Calculate the distance between them correctly so that the canvas does not sag, forming unplanned folds. Above the window opening, firmly fix the selected holders.

These holders can also be used.

Be sure to sew longitudinal tapes or loops on the curtain itself. This will allow you to hang it easily and securely.

An arched window can be designed in an original way with the point fixing.

With the help of holders, you can decorate a non-standard window in an original way.

This point fixing is ideal for decorating non-standard and arched windows, this is the case when it is unrealistic to install a conventional cornice.

How to use the vertical tiebacks to secure the curtain fabric.

Tie-down option.

There are also disadvantages to this method of window decoration - the curtain does not move. But it is easily solved with the help of side pickups, which will help not only let the sun's rays into the room, but also add zest to the interior. After all, they can be decorated in a very original way, giving a bizarre shape to the curtains themselves.

With the help of Velcro tape (in the common people - Velcro)

Velcro tape will fix the curtain without a cornice.

Purchase the required length of tape. Attach one part of the tape to the wall or window frame in any of the following ways:

Attach one part of the tape directly to the wall.

1. Fix part of the tape directly to the wall using a staple gun, self-tapping screws or screws. If this is a metal-plastic window, then use double-sided tape.

On a three-leaf window, all three curtains can be attached separately.

The design looks very stylish if you make separate curtains for each sash of the window frame.

We fix one part of the tape on the bar, which we fix on the wall.

2. Use furniture staples, self-tapping screws or wood glue to attach one piece of Velcro to the bar to be fixed to the wall.

It is very quick and convenient to hang curtains with this hook.

Attach the second half of the tape from the wrong side of the fabric. In this way it is very convenient to hang curtains, you do not have to hang under the ceiling for hours trying to get into the loop with a hook. With a slight movement of the hand, we connect both strips of Velcro and that's it - the curtain is in place.

If a partition wall is required, the sheet can be attached to the ceiling with this construction.

This method is even suitable for attaching curtains to the ceiling.

Whoever has nimble pets will not fit curtains like this.

This type of fastening also has weaknesses, it is impractical in two cases - you have very heavy and long curtains or there are babies in the house who are just learning to walk, as well as cats. Because such a plan, the cornice is extremely unreliable under physical impact.

With a tree branch or thick rope

Use a tree branch instead of a cornice.

A very unusual and creative way to hang a curtain for lovers of naturalness in interior design.
When leaving for nature, stock up on several strong, original-shaped branches of the desired length. Remove dust and dirt, sand too disheveled places and open with varnish or paint. Using any holders, fix the prepared branch on the wall.

Choose the rope you like.

Buy a natural rope, it can be: linen, jute, cotton or sisal - this will emphasize your style.

How to use a rope instead of a curtain rod.

Attach the original rings or any other point fixings to the wall in at least three places.
Attach the desired length of tape, braid or ordinary rings to the curtain.

A curtain with eyelets threaded through a rope looks very original.

If your fabric has metal eyelets, then you can simply thread the rope through.

how to hang it on the window and balcony, without drilling, with your own hands

The aesthetics of the window opening with beautiful curtains will not leave anyone indifferent. Nevertheless, there are situations when it is not possible to decorate a room or a loggia in the traditional way, you have to hang curtains without a cornice. It is suggested that you familiarize yourself with all the methods, even if it is a temporary fastening or a kind of curtaining windows of a non-standard configuration.

Curtains are an indispensable attribute of a living space.

When there is no baguette at hand, and you need to hang curtains, the question arises how you can do without a cornice and quickly hang a window with your own hands.

Ways to decorate windows in an original way in a living room, options with and without a cornice

Not only interior designers need non-standard approaches when decorating windows. The acquisition of housing in need of repair is often associated with the fact that there are no baguettes or there is nowhere to mount them. Fragile wall decoration material cannot always be drilled, repairs have to be made. On the glazed balcony, dilapidated frames literally crumble when you try to hammer in nails and pull at least a fishing line under the curtains.

Curtains can be hung on regular coat hooks or Velcro on the bar.

Good advice! Before hanging light curtains without a cornice, it is recommended to check whether the “string” will hold the dowels in the wall or other base. If they do not hold, use a temporary fastening to the window frame, for example, with Velcro tape.

To make the composition look beautiful, you need to think over the style of the curtain.

It happens that there are only curtains without curtains, because they have not yet decided on their style and method of fastening. Sometimes it is appropriate to use the ceiling mounting method. In the bedroom, a veil falling from above, complemented by LED lighting, looks very romantic.

Hooks are selected large, interesting design, so that they become a curtain decoration.

Canopy over the bed is also often attached to the ceiling without a baguette. This is a traditional decor for a children's bedroom in a certain interior style. Temporary decoration with a light Velcro fabric is unreliable. This method is not suitable for those who have small children or pets who like to play with interior textiles.

Massive cornices are not needed when mounting the so-called "floating" ceilings. Hidden fastening of curtains - a stretched metal string behind the harpoon mechanism for mounting a stretch fabric, illuminated around the entire perimeter.

The only disadvantage of this method is that the curtain cannot be moved from one end to the other.

For some types of curtains, it is not possible to immediately purchase the required configuration of the fixture. For example, a semi-circular ceiling cornice for a bay window or a triple rail for Japanese screened canvases on an electric drive, controlled from a remote control. Difficulties may arise with curtaining an attic window under a large slope of the roof or the panoramic space of a loft apartment.

This way you can create a beautiful composition.

Variants without a cornice when decorating balcony windows

Often, before the onset of the warm season, the townspeople have to reactivate the insulation, thinking about how to fix the curtains on the balcony without a cornice. When there are only aluminum frames and panoramic windows in front of your eyes, you have to show special ingenuity.

They are suspended by loops, ribbons on hooks with a slight allowance for beautiful sagging of the fabric.

Traditionally, curtain textiles are hung along the entire glazing or broken into several canvases if it is a double balcony for 2-3 rooms.

Attention! The difficulty of easy temporary attachment to the frame of the loggia is that the curtains can interfere with opening the windows (transoms) inside the balcony space. You will have to fasten the textiles on the fishing line directly to the plastic double-glazed windows.

The convenience of such a fixation - the curtain can be quickly removed and washed if desired.

A light veil, when there is no string, can be attached to a thick fishing line and large decorative nails. They can be hammered into the corners between the frame and the window opening. Short curtains often have to be fixed in the same way from below, but this is done with blind windows without vents.

Curtains help create comfort in the room, decorate it.

A good way is temporary fastening with double-sided adhesive tape under the false cornice, for which any piece of light plastic or aluminum profile is suitable.

Curtains can also be hung with Velcro.

How to fix curtains in an original way without a traditional cornice, ideas with examples and photos

How can you hang tulle on a balcony without a cornice? The most reliable way is the "string". Light cornice in the form of a thin metal thread. If the transoms open outward, then the common metal base stretched throughout the balcony space will simplify the curtaining with light curtains.

Hanging them without a cornice is easy.

Among the available methods on how to hang curtains on a balcony without a cornice with your own hands, suction cups are often mentioned. They should have holes for fishing line or metal "string".

A good idea for a "baguetteless" method of fastening is on hooks, if the curtains are provided with loops or eyelets. Sometimes this is the only possibility of fastening along the beveled line of the window space of the kitchen, bay window or stairs.

The result is an original and non-standard composition.

Please note! The string is elastic, prone to sagging. It is unacceptable for the curtains to be moved to the center - the metal string will sag. It is better to push the curtains to the edges of the balcony, so it will be quite aesthetically pleasing.

This is a reliable and practical mounting option, and in the case of non-standard window openings, it is often the only one.

The choice of attachment depends not only on what the lightweight curtains are attached to, but also on the style and type of fabric. If textiles are used on eyelets, decorative hooks for clothes are suitable as a basis. They can be nailed to the window frame or beam of the upper residential level of a wooden cottage without an attic, as in the photo of curtains on hooks without cornices.

Hooks should be selected based on the fact that they must solve two problems: functional and decorative.

How to hang roller blinds and blinds on a window without a cornice

For those who do not really like to hang curtains, experts recommend roller blinds and blinds. They come in different types, horizontal and vertical. Most often, when buying in an assembly, targeted installation is guaranteed.

There are times when you have to fix it yourself.

These two types of window decoration have something in common - the absence of a traditional cornice, and yet they require fastening. Roller blinds and blinds are usually mounted at the junction of the wall and the ceiling surface - according to the roller shutter principle, drilling is indispensable.

Roller blinds must be moved up and down with a special device that resembles a "lift" of a blind with a chain.

This rod can also be attached to the top of the window frame, if necessary.

Lightweight blinds can be attached directly to double-glazed windows if they are "blind" or fixed. When mounted on a sash, each transom will have to be opened along with the blinds.

Roller blinds are mounted on a special shaft with guides. The equipment can be fixed with screws to the frame, but there is a possibility of damage to the plastic frame.

Glazed balconies with wooden frames usually do not cause problems with screws.

Sometimes it is advisable to "tightly" put the base on the glue or use a tape platform with a double-sided adhesive backing. It is recommended that you first familiarize yourself with the video on how to independently fix light horizontal blinds to a plastic frame.

Examples and photos of original ideas on how to quickly hang curtains in a country house without a cornice

A window without a curtain looks miserable and lonely, even if there is no one to hide from in a building or in a country house in a deserted place. In the absence of cornices, it is often necessary to use unconventional ways to design window openings, regardless of whether it is possible to drill walls and ceilings.

Large hooks are suitable for dense and heavy curtains, multi-layer options, small, elegant ones are suitable for light tulle curtains.

A cornice or baguette is the most reliable way to hang curtains, regardless of the style of the curtains. There are massive multi-layer varieties of curtains for which a classic baguette is used, but they are not suitable for temporary fastening, although their beauty is impeccable.

The design of the hooks should match the overall style of the room.

A thick metal rod or a decorative branch is sometimes used instead of an eaves rod.

The easiest way is to sew a light curtain with your own hands with a fold into which you can stretch any base for tension, the base is not visible behind the fabric:

Curtain loops can be slotted or sewn on.

The style may be the simplest - two straight panels, but a dense assembly and tie-backs on the sides or an oblique cut will decorate the window unusually. It remains to make holes on the sides for the dowels and screw in the screws onto which the cord is tensioned.

General requirements for hinges: they must be strong, securely hold the curtain on the hook, harmoniously fit into the design of the window.

For easy fastening, it is undesirable to use heavy fabrics and curtain styles to the floor. There are many light fabrics and interesting varieties of tailoring short curtains that can be attached directly to the glass on transparent silicone suction cups.

When the upper edge of the window opening rests on the ceiling, there may simply be no room for baguettes.

Curtains on hooks without eaves are very popular on arched windows. Of course, you can stick the curtain directly to the frame with double-sided tape, but it is unlikely to turn out beautifully. Regular screws are much better than thick nails. They are needed on top of the sides of the window under an impromptu “string”, which can ruin the wall.

Braid, various cords, metal, plastic, wooden rings are also suitable materials.

Even if there is no alternative to nails, try to hammer them in where the cornices are to be attached in the future. The decision on how to fix curtains without a cornice is up to the owners, but here we have considered the most practical methods.

This can be done by yourself or with the help of a designer.
