Decorating a home isn’t a one-step process. To make a space that’s both cozy and functional involves undertaking many smaller projects that require some elbow grease, like painting the entryway or hanging curtains. With the latter, renters have one more issue to consider – like, say, how not to create a bunch of holes in the wall so they don’t lose their security deposit.

There’s always the option to hang curtains by drilling and anchoring them into the wall with nails and try to patch damage later. But why do that when there are renter-friendly curtain rod options out there that’ll stay put and look great?

If you’re curious about how to hang curtains without drilling, know that you have options. Traditionally, curtains are installed by securing hanging brackets with nails to the wall above a window. Renter friendly curtain rods, on the other hand, are ones that don’t require any drilling or nailing; look for options that are magnetic or self-adhesive, tension rods that adjust to fit inside a window, or brackets that can be mounted without nails.

Below, find 10 renter friendly curtain rod solutions for every budget and need.
