There is no need to drill holes every time a new curtain is hung. When arriving home, many people instinctively grab a hammer or screwdriver to mount furniture, paintings, clocks, bookshelves, or curtains. Yet several options let curtains go up without wall holes, offering privacy or simply a refreshed room. If curtains are chosen over blinds, the following guidance is especially helpful.

Ikea’s noise-reducing curtains stand out for practicality and price
Five distinct methods are recommended to hang curtains without drilling into walls. Each option avoids damage while delivering a clean, functional look.
1. With a tension rod
The tension rod is an excellent solution for hanging curtains without wall holes. This rod uses spring-loaded ends that compress when installed and then expand to grip two opposing surfaces. It can be placed almost anywhere and adjusted with a simple twist as needed. It remains secure as long as there are two solid supports on either side.
2. With adhesive hooks
Adhesive hooks offer a straightforward setup. The hooks attach to the wall, and curtains hang from them. The approach is inexpensive and easy. Heavier curtains, however, require a rod or stronger support, as adhesive hooks have less weight capacity than a traditional rod.
3. Self-adhesive sticks
This method blends the previous two. It uses adhesive hooks on the wall paired with a tension rod. It’s ideal when there are not two walls facing each other. Measure the window precisely to avoid repeated removal of adhesives and to ensure a snug fit for the rod.
4. Magnetic curtain rods
Magnetic rods work much like magnetic accessories. They snap into place with magnets, allowing curtains to hang securely without making holes in the wall.
5. Velcro curtains
Velcro offers another hole-free option. Curtains can be fastened in place with Velcro strips. They remain decorative and stable, and the setup avoids any wall damage from nails or screws.
