Just moved into an apartment that has aluminum or metal window frames, any ideas on window treatments? I don't want to drill any holes in the walls and the blinds provided don't offer enough privacy and too much light coming in at night?
Help, please

Use the 3M command strip hooks that have a peel strip to take them off. With those, you can just hang a curtain rod on them, and there you go. When you move, then you just pull the strip and it comes off the wall so you get your deposit back. If you live in a small apartment with a good landlord, they might let you install curtains.

You can use a tension rod, kind of like a shower rod that you twist to expand or shorten. Then there's no drilling involved, and it's super easy.

I have metal doors and was able to get magnetic curtain rode holders at Wal-mart. Good luck in your new place!

screw a mounting board to the wall above the windows & mount your hardware onto that
