Step 1: Determine Placement

Before we get started, we want to figure out where we want our curtains to hang. In this case, we want them to hang beyond our door for that luxe look. Use a tape measure to determine the distance between your rod brackets.

Step 2: Mark the Spots

Use a pencil to mark the spot on each end. To discover if you can drill straight in, you’ll need to use a stud finder.

Step 3: Check for Studs

If you’ve got a stud where your pencil markings are, you’re all good to drill straight in. It’s time to drill the brackets in. You want to make sure that your curtain rod is completely straight. Place a level on top of the brackets to ensure everything is lined up.
