Q&A: Apartment dweller with window frames made of aluminum or metal, how can I hang curtains?

Question by bjv24th: Apartment dweller with window frames made of aluminum or metal, how can I hang curtains?
Just moved into an apartment that has aluminum or metal window frames, any ideas on window treatments? I don’t wont to drill any holes in the walls and the blinds provided don’t offer enough privacy and too much light coming in at night?
Help, please.

I am sure that the windows you are talking about are not that deep and that the current window treatments take up the recess of the window. Also if it is like places I have lived they dont want you to remove the provided window treatments.

take some time, really look at the window and frame and wall…
maybe even make something that is freestanding from the floor.

Then design something that suits your needs.

Most importantly… patent your design and try to improve on it then sell it… There are probably a ton of people out there with the same problem as you and you could make money off of finding the solution. Then you can stop renting and put whatever kind of curtains you want up on the windows that you own.
