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.

'For example, if the window is in a bedroom where you would like black-out curtains, the material may be too heavy for non-drilling methods.’ What rod to use for curtains without drilling?

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: Other solutions such as self-adhesive hooks and magnetic curtain rods will only support very light curtains. Medium-weight curtains might be supported by a good quality tension rod with a maximum capacity of 15lbs, while Kwik-Hang’s tap-in curtain rod brackets hold up to 20lbs.

Heavy curtains will need a rod to support them adequately. How do you hang heavy curtains without a rod? Professional grade Velcro (sold on Amazon) will give you the best adhesion. It can also, obviously, be used to fit blinds.

‘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.’ ‘I have occasionally fitted tented curtains in sunrooms using Velcro,’ says John Doran. Velcro isn’t a solution that will cover a whole lot of situations, but it might be the one you need.
