Hanging a shower curtain is a common task, but what if you're in a situation where you can't drill holes in the wall? Whether you're in a rented apartment, don't want to damage your bathroom tiles, or simply prefer a hole-free approach, we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll explore various methods to hang a shower curtain without holes, so you can enjoy both privacy and style without the need for a drill.
What can you use instead of shower curtain hooks?
While basic plastic or metal hooks are common, there are also creative options to hang shower curtains without using traditional hooks that require drilling holes.
Hang Curtains Without Rods and Hooks
For a rod-free solution, you can hang shower curtains with:
- Adhesive shower curtain holders - These stick directly to the wall to clip and hang shower curtain liners or lightweight outer curtains. No rods needed.
- Curved shower curtain rods with built-in loops - Specialty rods have loops or buttons to hang shower curtains without separate hooks or holes.
- Suction cup shower curtain holders - These attach via suction to the wall or tile then provide hooks to hang shower curtains.
- Shower curtain hooks with suction cups - Similar to suction cup holders, these provide hooks that adhere directly to the wall or tile without drilling.
- Over-the-door shower curtain hangers - Fit over the top of the door to hang shower curtains from spring-loaded hooks.
How to hang heavy curtains without drilling?
For heavy fabric shower curtains, instead of drilling the curtain itself, use:
- Adhesive rod brackets - These bond securely to the wall to support curtain rods. Hang heavy curtains from the rod.
- No-drill curtain rod brackets - Clamp-style brackets grip the wall tightly without screws to support curtain rods for heavy fabrics.
- Command curtain rod hooks - Adhere command hooks to the wall, then hang lightweight curtain rods from them for hanging heavy curtains.
- Suction cup shower curtain hooks - These adhere directly to the wall/tile to hang heavy curtains without drilling holes in them.
How to hang curtains in an apartment without drilling?
To hang curtains in a rental apartment without making holes try:
- Adhesive rod brackets or shower curtain holders - These stick securely to walls but remove cleanly without damage.
- Over-the-door shower rods and hangers - Sit over the top of doors to hang shower curtains.
- Curtain rod poles that clamp between floor and ceiling - Telescope to press against the floor and ceiling.
- Command strip curtain rod holders - Adhere strips to wall then hook lightweight rod on to hang curtains.
- Tension curtain rods - Extend pressure against walls to stay in place without drilling.
Curved Shower Curtain Rod Without Drilling
Curved rods provide more shower space but can't be screwed in. Solutions include:
- Adhesive curved rod brackets - Stick securely to the wall to hold each end of the curved rod.
- Curved tension rods - Use spring tension against the walls to stay in place without drilling.
- Suction-cup rod end holders - Adhere suction-cup holders to the wall to grip each end of the curved rod.
How do you hang a shower curtain without putting a hole in it?
To hang a delicate shower curtain without making holes:
- Use adhesive shower curtain rings or hooks. These stick to the wall, then you hang the curtain from them.
- Hang from a specialty rod with built-in buttons or loops to attach shower curtains.
- Attach puck-style suction cups to the wall, then hang shower curtain from hooks on the cups.
- Use an over-the-door shower curtain rod with built-in spring-loaded hooks.
Shower Curtain Rod on Tile or Wall
To mount a shower rod on tile or drywall without drilling try:
- Adhesive shower curtain rod brackets. Provide grip to hold rod ends.
- Curved spring tension rods. Press outward tension against the walls.
- Lightweight rods with command strip holders. Adhere holders to wall, hook rod to them.
- Suction cup shower rod hooks. Grip rod ends firmly to the wall or tile.
Can you hang curtains on drywall without anchors?
It's best not to hang heavy curtains directly on drywall alone. But lightweight options like:
- Adhesive rod brackets can bond securely to drywall without anchors.
- Command strip curtain rod hooks allow mounting lightweight rods on drywall.
- Small tension rods extend spring pressure against the walls.
Use drywall anchors if attaching anything very heavy directly into the drywall.

- Adhesive rod holders like HydraHold and Erase-a-Hole. Provide strong drywall grip without drilling.
- Spring Tension rods that extend pressure outward to stay in place.

- Command brand damage-free curtain rod hooks for lightweight rods.
Can you hang curtains with command strips?
Yes, lightweight curtains can be hung via:
- Command brand damage-free curtain rod hooks. Adhere to wall, hook lightweight rod through rings.
- Adhesive puck-style curtain ring holders. Stick these to wall, hang curtain rings from them.
- Adhesive curtain tie-back holders. Attach command strips to wall, tie back curtains to them.
The key is choosing lightweight curtains and rods. Test strips first to ensure adhesion strength.
Creative Ways to Hang Curtains Without a Rod
For a rod-free look try:
- Curtains hung from embroidery hoops attached to the wall with adhesive.
- Command strip tie-backs to keep curtains held back against the walls.
- Hang curtains from spring tension rods inside the window frame rather than on the wall.
