Curtains are a functional, surefire way to spruce up home décor.
They protect your privacy, keep the heat and the light out and look beautiful. While they can be a pain to hang, the result is worth it. That is, until your curtains fall out of the wall, leaving gaping holes.
It happens more often than you might think. Sometimes, the curtains aren’t secured properly (see our guide on how to hang curtains). Or, you might have the wrong type of curtain rod that can’t support the weight of your curtains, causing it to sag and fall out of the wall.
Family members are also common sources of curtain damage. Children can yank or pull on them when playing, bringing the curtains down. Dogs are notorious for making a mess, and there are few things cats love more than climbing on curtains.
Besides leaving annoying holes, falling curtains can damage your wall to the point where it’s impossible to re-hang them in the same spot. So how do you fix this problem?
Read our step-by-step guide on curtain rod hole repair to fix curtain rod holes. Plus, we’ll share a way to secure your curtains and prevent holes in the future.
Step-By-Step Guide to Repair Your Curtain Rod Holes
Option One: Rehang Curtains Without Patching the Drywall
If the damage isn’t too severe, you might not have to patch the drywall. Follow these simple steps to hang your curtains after they’ve fallen out of the wall.
Step 1: Get the Right Tools
You’re going to need:
Hammer
Screwdriver
Power drill with a 3/16-inch drill bit
Needle-nose pliers
Small plastic drywall anchors
Screws
Step 2: Remove the Curtain Rod
Remove the rod from the brackets. Tap the brackets with a hammer on a flat surface to straighten them (if they’re malleable, use a rubber mallet to prevent damage). To straighten bends in the curtain rod, use needle-nose pliers to bend it back in place.
Step 3: Fix Curtain Rod Holes
Drill the top and bottom hole locations where the bracket was previously attached to the wall. Tap an anchor into each hole with a hammer.
Step 4: Attach the Curtain Mount
Position the bracket over the anchors. Insert screws through the holes of the bracket into the anchors. Secure the bracket by tightening the screws with a screwdriver.
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat the steps with the bracket on the opposite side of the window. If you have a center bracket, follow the same instructions to hang your center support bracket.
Step 6: Hang the Curtains
Center the curtains on your curtain rod and place it on the brackets.
