But don't be dismayed. There is a way for us to achieve that look as well! And it's actually way easier than you might think.

You don't need any power tools to complete this project on your own and it won't cost you more than $30. Watch below as this renter shows us step by step how she achieved the luxurious curtain aesthetic in her home without causing any damage to the space.

TikTok creator Camelia ( @cameliafarhoodi ) is, like many of us are, a renter and while that is of course financially more feasible than owning a home, it does come with its own drawbacks. As any renter will understand, making aesthetic changes to your place requires a lot more effort as you have to figure out a way to do so without permanently altering the space. That's why we are always on the lookout for renter-friendly hacks online because chances are someone has already figured out a solution to our decor problems. In this case, it's Camelia!

Camelia has always wanted that luxurious floor-to-ceiling curtain look but since her windows don't have any pre-installed mounts for curtain rods, she was feeling a little bit stuck. That was until she discovered the perfect product trio that will give her the look she wants. Here's how she did it!

3 Products for a Renter-friendly Curtain Hack

These are all super affordable!

1. Fabric

You don't need to buy actual curtains! First measure your windows, determine your dream curtain length, and buy that length plus a little extra from a fabric store. This is way more fun because you have so many more fabrics and patterns to choose from than if you were just buying curtains brand new.

2. Amazon adhesive curtain racks

No curtain rods? No problem! These racks stick directly onto your ceiling and come with tiny hooks to easily attach to your curtain clips. Grab this one from Amazon for only $13.59 .

3. IKEA curtain clips

Last but not least, you need a way to attach the fabric itself to the rack. Grab a 24-pack of curtain hooks with clips from IKEA for only $4.99 . Simply fold one end of the fabric to secure the fabric to the clips. Finally, attach the clips to the Amazon rack. So easy!
