Curtains influence the look of a room.
Whether you want to replace a faulty curtain rod or wish to simply make some interior decorating changes, changing a curtain rod is quite simple if you use the proper tools. Taking the current rod brackets down without damaging either the curtains or the wall is important, as is correctly preparing the wall for the new rod. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Remove the curtain rod from the brackets it is resting in. Remove the curtains from the old rod and place them on the new rod.
2. Release the screws that attach the brackets to the wall. Use a screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise until the brackets lift away from the wall.
3. Wash the wall areas where the brackets used to be attached, using warm, soapy water. This will remove any residue or scuffing left behind by the curtain rod and brackets.
4. Hold the new brackets up to the wall where you wish to mount them. Use a drill to secure them to the wall. While curtain rod kits come with screws designed to fit the particular bracket, if you find yourself without them, you can use any size screw that fits through the holes in the bracket.
5. Place the new curtain rod into the new brackets. The rod will either snap into place or rest on a large hook at the end of each bracket.
