Here is what you will need to hang a curtain rod without drilling into the wall: 1. 2+ Large Command Hooks– More on this below. 2. Curtain Rod– To fit most Command Hooks, you will need a rod that has a diameter of 0.75″ or less. 3. Curtains– Ideally, you want ones that are hung via rod pocket, back-tabs, or rings. 4. Optional but recommended: 4.1. ...
In an effort not to drill into the wall to hang a curtain rod, my next best option was to use Command Hooks. But not every Command Hook is created equal. Some are too small to hold a rod, and others can’t hold the weight of fabric panels. I spent a lot of time researching options and even looked at a few in the store. All the hooks options below ar...
When you hang a curtain rod in the “traditional” way, the rod is usually even to the topof the bracket. In the case of Command Hooks though, the rod nestles into the hook, making the rod even with the bottom. This can be a little tricky to gauge visually, so I suggest first taping the Command Hooks to the wall (as shown below) to test different hei...

Below is a picture of the underside of the rod. As you can see, there is less than 1″ of clearance between the wall and the...
This next step is 100% optional; but if your eye gets easily distracted like mine does (and you really want to use ringsto hang your curtains), it’s well worth a little paint and time to camouflage the hooks with some matching wall paint. Start by using some painter’s tape around the edges of the hook. If you work carefully, you can likely slide ta...

I experimented with hanging my curtains fuller and wider, and all I needed to do was simply extend my bar past the hooks. So far, my rod hasn’t sagged at all…but if it did, I could easily add another hook along the middle. You will likely noti...
For standard 8 ft ceilings, position the rod approx 3-5 inches below the ceiling or crown moulding. If you have taller ceilings (9-10ft) with windows that are significantly lower than the ceiling, position your rod approx 8-12 inches above the window trim. This gives the illusion of a taller ceiling and creates a much grander feel in the room.
