Vertical blinds are great for privacy and light control, but they’re not everyone’s aesthetic. Thankfully, TikTok has a curtain hack that can be done in only minutes, and if you’re a renter, you won’t need your landlord’s permission, either.

Last month, TikTok user @shefoundthat shared a hack on how to remove vertical blinds without actually removing them. In her video, she shares that she can’t stand vertical blinds but can’t take them down because she’s a renter. Her solution? A pair of clips called a NONO Bracket.

The brackets are easy to install — no need to drill into a wall or use adhesive strips. Just slide them over the blinds and attach a separate curtain rod. Then, adjust the screws to secure the rod before adding the curtains.

The hack allows you to “remove” the blinds by cleverly hiding them behind the curtain. It’s a trick that’s inexpensive — the brackets are $15 per pack on Amazon — and easy to do. The comments section agreed:

“I don’t even hate my vertical blinds, but I love this for adding more color or matching the aesthetic,” said one commenter. Another added: “I wish I knew about this before. We absolutely destroyed our apartment blinds trying to take them off.”

In a follow-up post, @shefoundthat noted that you can also unclip the blinds, store them under the bed, then reclip them before you move out. She added that you should check the blinds first to see if they can carry the added load.

“I know it can be tempting to immediately add to cart but it’s so important to assess strength before hanging anything and measure to ensure it’s the right product for you!” she said. “These guys are really so awesome though and I’m glad y’all loved them like I did.”
