How do you hang curtains when there is not a stud to hold the curtain holder in the wall?
Question by muchfunrwe: How do you hang curtains when there is not a stud to hold the curtain holder in the wall?
Ok so I am trying to hang curtains but there is no stud in the wall and the bracket keeps coming out of the wall. I don’t know how to fix it.
I tried drywall screws but I couldnt find any small enough for the holes in the brackets

Actually, there IS a stud in the wall, you just didn’t hit it. Locate a device, a “stud finder” which is actually a radio frequency device which senses density. As you move this over the drywall surface, it will indicate where there is wood behind the drywall, finding the stud. I have one, and they really DO work. The cost is only $ 10-$ 15. As another pointed out, you can also purchase drywall anchors. There are 2 types of anchor, sleeve and butterfly. The sleeve type is a tube of plastic which when you put in the screw expands and grips the sides of the hole. The butterfly type is metal with a very long screw. You put this into the hole and tighten the screw. As the screw pulls the end toward the inside side of the drywall, it flexes the metal and “legs” form which grip the drywall from behind. You remove the screw, put it through whatever you are fastening and screw it back in place.. This kind of anchor is permanent. It cannot be removed without doing some serious damage to the drywall. The plastic anchors hold less weight, but are not permanent, easily removed so the hole can be patched.

I don’t like to drill holes in the trim either. There is usually framing around the window, but your wood trim may be on top of it. If you don’t have a stud finder, drill a pilot hole into the drywall. If it doesn’t hit wood, you will need to use an anchor molly to secure your curtain rod. They go into the drywall and expand behind it so that the weight of the curtain and rod are supported.

How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
Question by jrunaas: How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
We live in San Diego and the room in question gets a lot of morning sun. The room was a patio that someone enclosed with the far wall being all brick (fireplace). Where normally you would have drywall to screw in the brackets for blinds, you have a metal plate at the top of the window which the brick sits on. The rest of the house has wood blinds, but I’m up for anything – I just don’t know how to secure it. Any suggestions? Thanks

If allowable in your home, might try Liquid Nail. Can buy easily at Home Depot or Lowe’s, Its very strong, but you may have to hold the piece for a few minutes to let it set.
Without drilling into your brick this is the only option I can think of.
You could also try putting in a “roman shade” I believe they call it? These are available almost everywhere including Wal-Mart. It may not look like something you’d like but it would provide shade for you.
Best of luck!
