How To Put Curtains Around Your Bed

In this post, I’ll show you how to put curtains around your bed without drilling holes in your ceiling or spending a fortune on a fancy bed frame. All you need are some curtains, some adhesive hooks, some string, and some sass. Ready? Let’s do this!

To put curtains around your bed, you need to mark the ceiling above each corner of your bed, attach adhesive hooks over the marks, thread string through the curtains, and tie the string to the hooks. Alternatively, you can hang curtains from the ceiling using rails and corner pieces.

Mark the Ceiling

The first step is to mark the ceiling above each corner of your bed. This is where you’ll attach the adhesive hooks that will hold your curtains. Use a tape measure and a pencil to make four marks on the ceiling, one above each corner of your bed. Make sure they are evenly spaced and level with each other.

Attach the Hooks

The next step is to attach the adhesive hooks over the marks you made on the ceiling. Adhesive hooks are great because they don’t require any drilling or screws, and they can be easily removed without damaging your ceiling. Just make sure you get hooks that can support the weight of your curtains.

To attach the hooks, peel off the non-stick paper from one side of the adhesive strip and press it onto the mark on the ceiling. Hold it for 30 seconds to make sure it sticks well. Then, peel off the other side of the strip and press the hook onto it. Make sure the hook points away from the bed so it can hold the string properly. Hold it for another 30 seconds. Repeat this process for the other three marks.

Thread the String

The third step is to thread the string through the curtains. You can use any kind of string or twine that is strong enough to hold your curtains. You can also use ribbon or lace for a more decorative look.

To thread the string, slide it through the rod pocket or grommet of your curtain. If your curtain doesn’t have a rod pocket or grommet, you can sew one yourself or use curtain clips to attach the string to your curtain. You’ll need two strings for each curtain, one for each end.

Tie the String

The final step is to tie the string to the hooks on the ceiling. Take one end of the string from one curtain and tie it securely to one hook. Then, take the other end of the same string and tie it to another hook on the opposite side of the bed. Do the same for the other curtain and strings.

Adjust the curtains as needed to create a canopy effect around your bed. You can also add some fairy lights or flowers to make it more magical.

Alternative Method: Hang Curtains from Rails

If you don’t want to use adhesive hooks and string, you can also hang curtains from rails on the ceiling. This method requires more materials and tools, but it gives you more flexibility and stability.

To hang curtains from rails, you’ll need:

• Four rails that can extend up to 120 inches
• Two corner pieces that can connect two rails at a 90-degree angle
• A cutting box and a hacksaw to cut the rails to size
• A drill, screws, and wall anchors to mount the rails on the ceiling
• Curtain clips or rings to hang your curtains from the rails

To hang curtains from rails, follow these steps:

1. Cut the rails to size using a cutting box and a hacksaw.
2. Connect two rails with a corner piece at each end to form a rectangle that matches your bed size.
3. Drill holes in your ceiling where you want to mount your rails.
4. Screw in wall anchors if needed and attach your rails to your ceiling using screws.
5. Attach curtain clips or rings to your curtains and hang them from your rails.
6. Adjust your curtains as needed.
