Best Way To Mount Curtain Brackets Over Vertical Blinds
(Updated April 4, 2024)
Recently I discovered the best way to mount curtain brackets over vertical blinds. Unfortunately, many of us who are renting are stuck with this type of window covering.
I suppose at some point vertical blinds were trendy. Apartment complexes and other rentals still tend to use them for some reason.
I wanted to hang my blackout curtains and hide those vertical blinds. So I did some research, and came upon an invention called “No-No Brackets.”
What I Ordered:
A set of three No-No Brackets cost $19.99 at Amazon. So I ordered two sets, one for each patio door.
With the No-No Brackets there is no need to put holes in your walls. That’s the best part. There are no holes in the wall to cover up and patch if you move.
How It Works:
The process of attaching these brackets is quite simple. You just place the brackets on top of the vertical blinds. Then tighten them into place. It’s so easy!
I wish that I’d been aware of this easy solution before.
At my other apartment, I mounted hardware into the walls to hang curtains. Thus creating holes I had to cover before I moved here. If I wanted my deposit given back to me, this added yet another job when I was already busy enough just packing.
Mounting No-No Brackets Is The Best Way To Hang Curtains:
I hung my curtains in this apartment in no time using the No-No brackets.
If you hate looking at the vertical blinds in your rental, I suggest ordering No-No Brackets. Then you can hang curtains on the window or door to cover the ugly vertical blinds.
Below are the curtains I ordered back in 2019 from Amazon. I had three sets. And I will probably order one more set for the window in my second bedroom.
It would have been fun to order all new curtains for a different look, but that gets pricey. And moving is pricey enough. So I just hung the same curtains I had hanging at the other apartment.
I still have three windows where I want to put hang curtains. My daughter is coming over with the kids on Friday night and she said she’d help with this task.
Here is a video so you can watch someone putting up No-No Brackets over ugly vertical blinds.
It’s really quite simple. And a cheap way to cover vertical blinds you may not be allowed to take down.

Curtains really have a way of bringing a room together and warming a space – love the red and white curtains! I’m not a fan of vertical blinds either and had them in one rental….of course I covered them with drapes too, like you did!!
That’s a good solution to know about – thanks for the tip! The curtains look great – they add softness, color, and personality! It’s all looking so good!
You really know how to get moved and decorate! I have a question. Do you have any windows in your living room, not counting your sliding doors?J
Yes, I have one behind my recliner.
With the curtains in place, it looks so homey and like your place!
Clever contraptions to hang curtains from an existing vertical blinds rod. It’s amazing the ideas people come up with. I love your curtains, the pattern and the white with red is absolutely beautiful, they are elegant without being over the top .
Thanks so much for sharing the bracket information. We bought a house, which have blinds, and I didn’t want to put holes in the walls.
Looking more finished every day.
What a great invention. But where r u going to hang the red and white checked curtains? Your home is darling🤩
The curtains look great! I’d never heard of these brackets before, but what a good idea!
Appreciate your research, Brenda…never heard of that way to hang curtains before…great idea!! Will file away in case needed at our next abode.
Oh, I really like those brackets – great idea. I’ve always loved your curtains. They are perfect in your living room. Can’t wait to see what you do in the other rooms. I think curtains add a finishing touch to a room.
Nice to know those kinds of curtain rods exist. Love your curtains.
You go girl, everything is coming together nicely! I’m so enjoying your journey and new chapter of your life in your new home.
Those brackets are great! Wish I’d known about them two years ago when I moved into this apt. Getting ready to move into a brand new home soon.
Whoever invented these brackets – brilliant! I love your red and white curtains, too. Really adds to the cheer of the room.
Brenda, Love the curtains; just the right touch of color. The no-no brackets were a genius idea. I wish I could find a genius idea for mounting things on a heavily textured wall without making holes. Your new home is really coming together. I’m loving it. Sandy
Wow!!! That is awesome!!! Im looking those up …
That makes the room! Very cozy. I am so glad Teri is such a big help and you both can laugh over what limits you right now but it won’t keep either of you down.
Those brackets are amazing. Thanks for sharing that info. Your curtains are so pretty. Don’t really think you need new ones, unless you just want to change the color. Everything is looking really good.
Wow! Those no no brackets are genius! Thanks for sharing that information with us. Your curtains look great. Did you ever ask Kendra about that toilet seat riser?
Kasi got me a riser I’m going to put on the toilet that clamps on.
Those brackets are genious. The curtains look great, and pull everything together.
It will be nice to have Kendra’s fresh eyes and thoughts, and wonderful to spend time with your family. I hope her challenges are settling down, and she’s able to make progress on her own home.
The thought of pots of flowers next door is delightful – can daffodils be far behind?
Look at that! The curtains look pretty and the brackets are a nice idea! I’m impressed with how much you (and Teri) have accomplished in less than a month. Hope Teri is mending ok. You sound happy.
I love the way the curtains look! Those brackets are great and just what you needed! It sure is nice when you research for something and find exactly what you need!
Looks warm, cozy and homey! Love those curtains!
Looks very, very nice. The perfect finishing touch!
Brenda you could make a barn stall look cozy! I’m so happy for you!
Nice! Oh and could I use these brackets!!!!!!
