Is it one continuous window frame or separate ones next to each other?

A picture would be VERY helpful!

Separate - I’ve attached 2 photos

Thought the link below was interesting and use a few rods due to weight with a few sets of drapes. Ikea has nice curtains at very good prices. fhttps://www.carolynsbloomingcreations.com/itsabradenfullife/2-12-21-how-to-hang-curtains-with-no-drilling-and-no-magnets

Do you need something you can open and close or is this a room just for sleep? You might have room for tension rods in each window frame but they aren't really secure for opening and closing.

I would prefer to be able to open the windows. I am not as concerned about the rod - I can use command hooks to hold a rod if I can find one long enough. Someone also suggested trying plumber’s pipe if it’s light enough. I am more concerned about finding fabric the size of the windows.

Thanks for the advice! That sounds like a neat solution.

There is a weight limit for the Command Hooks. I doubt any rods will stay up with the weight of the rod and the curtains.

I'm not sure Command Hooks will stand up to daily use either. I've used the rental trick of nailing into the top of the frame and using hooks for valances (in my case pillow sham cases) - I wonder if that could be adapted for light control. Maybe just attach them at night/

I use the 5 pound command hooks currently in my room to hold an extendable curtain rod and 2 54 inch length blackout curtain panels. If weight may be an issue I am thinking of using the 10 lb ones...

Read the reviews on Amazon for tension rods. Some are very "tense" and substantial, and will not easily come down. Just make sure the opening of your curtain hem at top is big enough to slide over the rod.

Your other option with enough command hooks is tie up shades. These are described as "room darkening" so they might not be as blackout as you want. But with the position of your bed they might be the nicest looking option

There are also these curtain bracket supports that fit behind the molding.

My friend used those kwik hang brackets ^^^ and they are great.

I just read a article about cheats for curtains. Flat bed sheets, table cloths, shower curtains.

I agree with Deegw - multiple panels would probably look better than one large panel.

You should talk to the landlord about installing proper drapey rods. When I was a landlord, I absolutely would have done that if we didnt already have them in all of our rooms. Privacy and light control in a bedroom is important.

I have to say , I have used command hooks, large size to sit curtain rods of the lightest weight in - in all 9 of my rental windows! In the eight years since I stuck them, not one has come down in all that time. I prepped as instructed on the commander hooks packet and there has not been a problem hanging blackout weight curtains.

Go forth and curtain!

FYI sheets can cost more than drapes I use HD often for cheap drapes .

I agree with cyprissa, talk with your landlord. They may agree to install some curtain rods. Can't hurt to ask.

@Izzy Mn That sort of thing sounds great, I am just not sure how well they would work for light control. I can look into it more :) Have you used any personally?

@kazzh yes - when I have waited the suggested time before hanging anything on my command hooks, I have not had any issues. I did have a few hooks fall down in the past when I tried to hang a heavier object immediately, but never when I followed the instructions on the back.

@Norwood Architects I agree. There are 6 window panels and I am thinking of maybe trying to find 6 curtain panels to cover each, over 2 rods, so that when open I could push 2 panels to the middle and 2 to each side. We will see how expensive it is to buy 6 panels like that. I know the ikea curtains say that you can cut them without having to hem, so it's possible I may try that. I already have 2 half length blackout panels but I forgot to measure the width of each individual window at the house to make sure they would work... but if they do I could potentially use those and get 2 more sets.
