Some are too small to hold a rod, and others can’t hold the weight of fabric panels. But not every Command Hook is created equal. In an effort not to drill into the wall to hang a curtain rod, my next best option was to use Command Hooks.

Curtains – Ideally, you want ones that are hung via rod pocket, back-tabs, or rings.

Curtain Rod – To fit most Command Hooks, you will need a rod that has a diameter of 0.75″ or less.

2+ Large Command Hooks – More on this below.

Here is what you will need to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall: But the good news is…since I’ve troubleshot everything, you won’t have to and now you should be able to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall in no time! As such, you might see some variations as we move through the tutorial. I’m not going to lie: this project actually took me a few tries to get juuuuust right.

And while this really is a simple and clever way to hang curtains in a rental, there are a few tricks I learned along the way to make it look and feel like a “real” curtain installation. It is likely no surprise that I turned to one of my favorite renter-friendly products: Command Hooks.

So I decided to embrace my inner “rental guru” and attempted to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall. 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. Once in the final stages of finishing up our Master Bedroom, I (of course) wanted to hang up my curtains. I bought a curtain rod shortly after ( these are my favorite inexpensive rods) but it sat and sat and sat in our garage while I tended to other rooms and projects. The one exception was our Master Bedroom simply because I ran out of curtain rods. When we first moved in 2 years ago, we immediately hung curtains in almost every single room.

If you’ve been coming around here for any length of time, you likely know I have a pretty serious passion for hanging some sort of window treatments on our rental windows (you can read why here). Spoiler: you can! And there are some easy and clever things you can do to still make it look amazing. So I decided this was a great time to experiment and figure out if you can hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall.

I really wanted curtains up in our Master Bedroom but for a bunch of reasons, I just didn’t want to install a curtain rod. The reality is that we live in a rental home (and likely will for quite some time!) And while there are a lot of things I can do “for real,” there are still times when we just need a clever rental hack. But my perspective has changed in recent years. I wanted our solutions to not just “look” like the real deal, but also be the real deal. A few years ago, I went through a phase where I didn’t want to do “fake” things to our rentals.
