At some point in your life, you will probably want to know how to install curtain rods in your home. While it’s something that may seem complicated and intimidating at first, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to complete this task with ease!

Here are some simple steps that will guide you through the process of installing curtain rods in your home without issue.

Step 1: Choose the Correct Rod

Matching curtain rods with your window treatments is one of those annoying tasks, like matching socks or picking out a favorite shirt. Curtain rods are available in many styles and sizes.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution; instead, you’ll have to determine what will work best for your home and windows. The style of your curtain rod should complement but not overpower your windows, curtains, and other window treatments (if any).

For example, if you’re hanging sheer curtains from a double rod, use a simple straight bar that doesn’t compete with all that fabric.

If you’re hanging semi-sheer panels with valances from a single mount rod, go for something more elaborate that won’t get lost behind all that trimming.

Step 2: Hang Your Curtains

Once you’ve chosen and measured your curtain rods, it’s time to hang them. There are many different ways of doing so, but first, think about what look you want to achieve.

Do you want them installed straight across your window (this works best for thinner rod widths)? Or do you want a sleeker and more stylish look that utilizes center brackets? Here is how you would hang curtains with both methods

Step 3: Take Down the Old Rod and Mount New Hardware

Before you can put up your new curtain rod, you have to take down whatever is already hanging there. Start by removing any screws from each end of your old curtain rod and then gently pull it down until all brackets are off of their mounting plates.

Next, remove any additional screws holding your mounting plates onto your wall, if applicable. For most brackets, you’ll need a flathead screwdriver for these jobs—just be careful not to strip them when taking off metal screws!

Can We Hang Curtains Without Using Drills?

How do you hang curtains without using a drill? Well, we’re not going to lie. Hanging curtains is a lot easier with some power tools, but we’ll show you how to hang curtain rods without drilling into your walls.
