Put your drill and spackle aside, and let's get started.

1. Use 3M Command Hooks

There are countless articles dedicated to the diverse uses of Command Hooks. You can use them to hang art, photos, and keys or mount objects on the wall — including window treatments.

How to Use Command Hooks to Hang Curtains

You'll need at least two Command Hooks to hang your curtain rod. If your window is wider than 30 inches, you'll need a third Command Hook to support the middle.
After you've carefully measured your curtains, mark your wall where each hook will adhere.
Peel off the Command strip adhesive and apply it to the hook.
Press the Command Hook firmly onto the wall for at least 30 seconds, and repeat with the other hook.
Wait at least 30 minutes before hanging your curtains.

Pros:

Easy to apply and remove.
Available in a variety of finishes.

Cons:

You must measure and mark your wall to ensure even hanging.
You can only use Command Hooks with thin curtain rods. A curtain rod thicker than ¾" in diameter will not fit into a Command Hook.
A large Command Hook cannot hold more than seven and a half pounds, so they're not suitable for heavier curtains or drapes — or the constant wear and tear of kids and pets.
Command Hooks can only be applied to flat walls and cannot be used over wallpaper.

Our Verdict on Command Hooks:
Overall, Command Hooks are ideal for many projects but aren't the most durable option for hanging curtains.

Price: Command Hooks are sold individually or in sets. Prices vary by size and finish. They're available online and in home improvement stores.

2. Try Kwik-Hang Curtain Rod Brackets

3. Use Tension Rod Curtains

Tension rod curtains are adjustable and stretch from one side of the window frame to the other. You can install them in minutes without any complicated measurements or installation.

How to Use Tension Rods to Hang Curtains

Purchase the tension rod that's closest to your window frame size (measured on the inside of the frame).
Test the tension rod by screwing or unscrewing the rod until it fits snugly inside the window frame.
Remove the rod, thread your curtain onto the rod, and then reinsert it into your window frame.

Pros:

Easy to install and require no measuring or hardware.
Tension rods are best for sheer or light curtains.
Can be adjusted to hang from the top of the window or the middle for cafe curtains.

Cons:

Tension rods are not strong enough for heavy drapes or blackout curtains.
Tension rods can become loose and slip over time.
Depending on your window size, you may need to order custom rods, which can be costly.

Our Verdict on Tension Rods:
Tension rods are best for light or sheer curtains on small windows.

Price: Starting at $5 per rod, available at department stores or home improvement stores

4. Get Creative With Coat Hooks

Coat hooks are a surprisingly versatile tool. Besides holding raincoats and bags, you can also use them to hang curtains.

How to Use Coat Hooks to Hang Curtains

Determine how many hooks you'll need to hang your curtains.
Measure the height you'll need to accommodate your curtain length.
Measure and mark how far apart your coat hooks will be for even distribution.
Carefully screw the coat hooks into your wall or window frame, then loop the curtain holes onto the hooks.

Pros:

Coat hooks are easier to install than traditional curtain rod hardware.
Coat hooks do not require you to drill holes.
Coat hooks are inexpensive and offer a unique decor element.

Cons:

They require exact, precise measurements for even distribution. This measuring process can be time-consuming.
Curtains hung on coat hooks are difficult to open and close.

Our Verdict on Coat Hooks:
Curtain hooks are best for decorative curtains on windows that don't need to be adjusted often.

Price: Starting at $5 per hook, available at department stores or home improvement stores

5. Try Magnetic Curtain Rods on Metal Doors

Magnetic curtain rods are one of the easiest ways to hang a curtain without drilling. While uses for magnetic curtain rods are limited, they can be an excellent choice for hanging curtains over a metal door.

How to Use Magnetic Curtain Rods to Hang Curtains

Measure your window opening to determine what size curtains you need.
Make sure the space between the edge of the window and the edge of the door will accommodate your magnetic curtain rod bracket.
"Click" the bracket onto your metal door, then thread your curtain onto the rod and place the rod into the bracket.

Pros:

Easy to install
Available in adjustable widths

Cons:

Like Command Hooks, magnetic curtain rods aren't designed for heavy curtains. The curtain rods pictured here only hold up to eight pounds.
Can shift out of alignment if used in a high-traffic area.
Best used with top-and-bottom rods to control fabric sway.
More expensive than other no-drill curtain options.

Our Verdict on Magnetic Curtain Rods:
Magnetic curtain rods are best for metal doors that aren't opened and closed often.

Price: Varies based on materials and finishes. The magnetic rod shown retails for $41.99.
