Use a 3/16-inch bit for most knobs/pulls. For softwood, pre-drill with a 1/8-inch bit to prevent splitting.

Trace the box outline, drill starter holes, and use a keyhole saw (drywall) or hole saw (wood/plaster). Turn off power first!

Use tension rods, adhesive hooks, or command strips for lightweight curtains. For heavier drapes, try ceiling-mounted tension wires.
