When designing a rustic home, features like raw wood, nature-inspired details, and an earth-toned color palette often come to mind. Why not explore innovative ways to incorporate these elements? Consider a unique rustic cabin-chic curtain hanging method that eliminates the conventional curtain rod. To achieve this, install hooks along a wooden plank and position it above a window. Attach clip-on rings to a curtain and hang them on these hooks.
This method provides a rustic wood decor piece above your window, serving as a rod-free curtain hanging solution. You’ll need materials like hooks, such as the IBosins Coat Hooks, and clip rings like the LLPJS Curtain Rings. Measure the top of your window to determine the size of the wooden plank needed, and have it cut at a local home improvement store if necessary.
DIY this rustic curtain hanging solution
Before starting this DIY project for your rustic-themed home, apply stain to your wooden plank. For a cohesive look, choose a stain color that matches any exposed wood details you have. Use a natural bristle brush for oil-based stains and a synthetic one for water-based stains.
Once the stain dries completely, use a tape measure and marker to mark evenly spaced holes along the plank. Install metal photo frame hangers like the Hotop Picture Frame Hangers in these holes. Make marks on the opposite side of the plank, drill, and add coat hooks that complement your existing hardware.
After completing these steps, install the curtain hanging solution above your window, attach the curtain rings to your curtain, and place the rings onto the hooks. Opt for a lightweight or sheer curtain to allow sunlight since the curtains will be fixed. Ensure the curtain color aligns with the rustic home palette and consider that heavy curtains might slip from the clips unless using weight-supportive hooks.
