Self-adhesive hooks could provide a place to position a rod so you can hang curtains without drilling.

This is easy for anyone to install and takes just a few seconds to attach to a metal door or window. Even though I originally placed my hooks at what I thought was “high and wide,” it wasn’t near high enough once I placed the rod and tested a panel. After much hemming and hawing, I decided on these Jumbo Command Hooks. Although they are bulkier and not quite as “pretty” as the other options, I liked the way the rod fit into them best. And since I was trying to hang 10 lbs worth of curtains (2 panels on each side), I liked that each hook could hold up to 7.5 lbs on its own. Finally, they were also the cheapest and came in bulk sets, making it the most economical option for adding extra support as needed.Once in the final stages of finishing up our Master Bedroom, I (of course) wanted to hang up my curtains. But here’s the reality: we are less than a year away from moving again (can you believe that?!?!)

This solution requires a ceiling area that may not be present where you want to place your curtains. Curtain rods, or poles, are the classical solution used in many homes. They tend to be more visible than other solutions. Therefore, you have to think of them as part of the décor, rather than just a support mechanism for your favourite drapes.

As the ceiling is normally high and customers often opt for lightweight fabric, this is the perfect way to hang beautiful window dressings which can easily be altered and can be safely fixed to the conservatory’s structure.’ The rods you can use for curtains without drilling include tension rods, which have internal springs that brace them against window trim, and magnetic rods. The latter are suitable for metal doors.John Doran, head fitter of soft furnishings at Andrew Henry Interiors and Thread & Dandy advises that you should think about a window’s shape, size, location and what you are using the window treatment for when deciding how to hang curtains: Looking for other great solutions for your windows? I've got you covered with these other smart DIYs! Other caveats with this method? These hooks can only be used for curtain rods of very narrow diameter. Secondly, skip the white plastic versions for a more pleasing finish. We like Command Curtain Rod Holders in Oil Rubbed Bronze. Thirdly, don’t use them on wallpaper; a painted wall is fine, though.
