Listen, fellow home-renters. We get it. As much as we would love to replicate the trendy interior design ideas that we see online, sometimes these projects are simply not feasible.
Building an entire wall-to-wall bookshelf? Ripping up old carpet and putting down new hardwood floors? We can only dream.
But all hope is not lost. There are some projects we can easily take on, even in our rented spaces. Thanks to some wonderfully helpful creators on the internet, we now know how to take our homes to the next level. And yes, we'll still be able to keep our security deposit afterwards.

The trick to hanging floor-length curtains without using a drill? Adhesive curtain tracks. You can find a bunch of different options on Amazon—these tracks are basically like stickers and all you have to do is peel off the backing and adhere them to your ceiling. The tracks come with mini hooks that connect easily to whatever curtains you choose.
It's as easy as that! No power tools required and no security deposit withheld. You can simply remove the tracks at move out and no one will ever know.
And fellow TikTokers are just as obsessed with the look.
"You know you're an adult when you're excited about drapes and they look fantastic," one fan commented.
"Omg they look so good with the rest of the apartment!" another commenter wrote.
"I wish I knew about these before I installed curtain rods," someone else replied.
Work smarter, not harder—and enjoy giving your space the elegant vibe you crave!
