Suspending a curtain on a door can serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. If the door features windows, you could

clever trick with curtains to help your house stay warmer without costing as much
During colder seasons, these can block out daylight in warmer periods. Additionally, consider installing a curtain on a solid wooden entryway lacking glass panels to create a cosier and more unified space within the room. Regardless of your motive, there’s an easy method for attaching drapes onto such doors without needing to drill into them. This technique relies upon utilizing hanging hooks designed specifically for use over doors.
Typically, mounting a curtain rod over a doorway follows similar procedures as installing one above a window: drill some holes and hang the curtain rod, after which you slide the drapes or curtains onto the rod using either grommets or a rod pocket. There are

These are designed to stay in place between two walls due to tension, but they can alternatively be mounted on hooks just like traditional curtain rods. An easier option might involve foregoing the curtain rod entirely; simply purchase curtains equipped with built-in grommets. Directly hang these grommets over the hanging rods, bunching several together to form folds and achieve an attractive drape.
If you’re opting for a curtain rod, choosing grommets can be an excellent choice for this project. This is due to their design which lets you easily affix the hooks right onto the rod. In contrast, curtains featuring a rod pocket wouldn’t suit as well, because they tend to hide the rod entirely, making it trickier to secure them to the hooks.
One of the best things about this hack is that since you’re mounting the curtain onto the door itself rather than the wall, it becomes very convenient to use. You don’t have to slide the curtain aside each time you open or close the door—the curtain will simply follow along as you go. For optimal functionality, pick a lightweight curtain that’s slightly shorter than the height of your door. This prevents excess material from accumulating on the ground or bunching up beside the door where it might interfere with smooth operation.
